The world is a big place and Christianity is a big religion. With 2,000+ denominations we will find a vast labyrinth of beliefs, traditions and interpretations of Scripture. One widely interpreted Christian belief is the understanding and use of the gift of speaking in tongues. For many it is an integral part of their faith and for others it can be looked upon as heresy. Who is right? Is the truth on the matter somewhere in the middle? We really should know, but how can we know? Stay with us!

    What an interesting conversation about speaking in tongues! It brought back a childhood memory when I thought “speaking in tongues” meant everyone gathered together and spoke in their own country language. My thought as a child, who spoke only English, was “how confusing.”

    In my early 20’s I remember a movie when the preacher supposedly spoke in tongues and was so carried away the congregation screamed and some fainted. My thought then was it’s still jibberish and pretty scary that people could think they were listening to God.

    Thank you for taking me back to my childhood understanding. There are times when we should think like a child again.

    You didn’t even get 10 mins into this program and already denied Holy Spirit anointing. Here let’s take a look at this speaking in tongues thing that’s in a book that I say is from God. But we are going to look at it biblically but first but first we are going to let you know it’s not true and we don’t believe. Hahahahahahhaa real good found guilty without proper investigation into the matter.

      Thank you for writing. Yes, we stated our position up front to be clear. Hopefully you were able to listen to the rest of the program in order to follow our scriptural reasoning on the matter. The main point being that speaking in tongues today is nothing like that in the three times it is mentioned in the New Testament. Compare the dramatic witness to outsiders with an interpreter in order to advance Christianity with churches today encouraging it internally to an audience of believers without any interpretation. May the LORD bless your studies.– Christian Questions
