Classical Pentecostals believe these episodes prescribe a pattern: followers of Jesus will speak in tongues when they are “baptized with the Holy Spirit.” What is speaking in tongues? It is instantly speaking an unknown language with God’s help. What is the baptism in or with the Spirit? It is an experience aftersalvation that all believers should ...
I grew up in a Pentecostal Christian family. We attended a small independent Pentecostal church then an Assemblies of God church so we were not Oneness Pentecostalbut Trinitarian Pentecostal. My mom is the strongest advocate I know of speaking in tongues. While growing up I saw her pray for many people to speak in tongues and even coach them in the...
What kind of literature is the book of Acts? Is it prescriptive or descriptive? Is it telling us what happened or what should happen or both? Acts is a historical narrative describing the movement of Jesus’ followers during the first thirty years after his resurrection. Narratives primarily tell a story; they don’t necessarily convey life instructi...
In 1 Corinthians 12 Paul says that the Spirit distributes gifts to individual believers as he determines. What are these gifts? 1. a message of wisdom 2. a message of knowledge 3. faith 4. gifts of healing 5. miraculous powers 6. prophecy 7. distinguishing between spirits 8. speaking in different kinds of tongues 9. interpretation of tongues (vv. 8...
After celebrating the “most excellent way” of love which outlasts prophecies, tongues, and knowledge (13:8), Paul says, “Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy” (14:1) because anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Sp...
Comparing Acts 2 with 1 Corinthians 14 presents us with a difference. In Acts 2 the foreign audience understood the languages spoken whereas in 1 Corinthians 14 Paul says “no one understands” those who speak in tongues because “they utter mysteries by the Spirit” (v. 2). So which is it? Is speaking in tongues a miraculous expression of human langua...
Now let’s return to Acts. If Pentecostals believe Acts shows a pattern that must be followed today, they must pay closer attention to the details. First, the number of believers who speak in tongues in Acts: 1. possibly 120 (Acts 2; see 1:15) 2. Cornelius, his relatives and close friends (we don’t know the number, but let’s be generous and say 100)...
The first to identify speaking in tongues as the initial biblical evidence of being baptized with the Spirit was American evangelist Charles Parham (1873-1929). This is incredible in itself: in 1900 years of Christianity no one had made this explicit connection. Parham’s student William J. Seymour (1870-1922) took this unique teaching to Los Angele...
In sum, here are my problems with the doctrine that every believer should speak in tongues, along with a challenge to anyone who wants to refute this conclusion. 1. It is not taught anywhere in the New Testament. Find one place in the New Testament where it says every believer shouldspeak in tongues. 2. It is contradicted by the New Testament. Paul...
To know what applies to us today we must go with the direct teaching in prescriptive or didactic literature rather than examples in descriptive literature. Paul’s statements in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14 are the only direct teachings on speaking in tongues in the Bible. Instead of teaching that every believer should speak in tongues, Paul says the opp...
An early insight of the Pentecostal movement was that evidential tongues in Acts 2:4 and the gift of tongues in 1 Corinthians 12:4–10,28 were the same in essence but different in purpose and use. Several practical issues arise concerning the purposes and uses of speaking in tongues.
Apr 25, 2023 · Pentecostal theology teaches that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. However, other Christian theologies believe that speaking in tongues isn’t the only evidence of being baptized in the Holy Spirit, especially after the first century.
May 9, 2019 · These Scriptures clearly show that speaking in tongues is the initial physical evidence of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. When the early believers were filled, they spoke in other tongues, and the same holds true today.
Speaking in tongues is considered one of the gifts of the Spirit described by St. Paul the Apostle (1 Corinthians 12), and Pentecostals believe that those baptized by the Holy Spirit may receive other supernatural gifts that purportedly existed in the early church, such as the ability to prophesy; to heal; to interpret speaking in tongues; to ...
