Practical Bible Principles for Life
Speaking In
Tongues
Read: 1 Corinthians 14,
Acts 2
By J. L. Caldwell, Pastor
New Jerusalem
Baptist Cathedral
The gift of speaking in other
tongues was a gift of the Holy
Spirit given to facilitate the
spreading of the gospel in the
New Testament era. Also the
gift of tongues were given as a
sign only to unbelievers, and not
believers (1 Corinthians 14:22).
The word “tongues” in scriptures
is a known language which
is spoken by different people
living in different locations. An
unknown language is just what it
is, “unknown.” The Holy Spirit
did not give out an unknown
tongue (language). Else, how
would the people be able to hear
and understand what is being
said if they did not hear the
gospel in their own language?
This is why the crowd on the
Day of Pentecost, were amazed
when the uneducated fishermen
(disciples) from Galilee, the
uneducated part of Palestine,
began to speak to the Greeks/
Romans and other foreign
citizens gathered at Jerusalem in
their own native language (Acts
2:5-8). God wants all to be saved.
Peter preached (prophecy) the
gospel in tongues on that day of
Pentecost and more than 3000
souls became believers in Jesus
Christ (Acts 2:41). Up to this
moment in his life, Peter never
spoke any foreign language
except his own local dialect,
Aramaic. In a sense, Peter was
viewed as a “country bumkin”
by the people in Jerusalem.
Peter was simply an uneducated
fisherman from Galilee using
God’s gift of tongues to preach
the gospel.
Why would I speak in
Russian to a congregation of
Americans who do not know
the language? I should use
this gift of tongues to speak the
gospel to an unbelieving Russian
congregation, even though
I do not know the language
of Russian, myself. This is
what happened on the Day of
Pentecost, when the Holy Ghost
fell upon the disciples waiting
in the Upper room. In short,
tongues are miracle languages
given to servants of God so as to
aid him/her in prophesying and
teaching in a known language of
the people so they can understand
what is being said.
The greatest of all gifts
from God is love and not the
speaking of tongues, as some
church people would argue.
St. Paul indicated that some in
the church were misusing the
gift of tongues and others were
faking it, as if they had the gift of
tongues. This they did in order
to try and show others they had
God’s gift of the Holy Ghost and
were superior to others in the
church because of this gift they
have. This same attitude can be
found in some churches today. In
other words, if you cannot, or do
not speak in tongue, you’re not
saved; not filled with the Holy
Ghost nor are you close to God.
Nothing can be further from the
biblical truth. The thief on the
cross beside Jesus, never got
filled with the Holy Ghost, never
did he speak in tongue when he
conversed with Jesus. Yet, He
was saved by Jesus that day.
The Holy Spirit requires
interpretation and order in the
church. The church cannot
grow in the middle of contusion.
There was a time in the
church when there was much
commotion and disturbance
when it came to speaking tongue
in the New Testament church.
When someone speaks out in
tongue in the church, there must
be an interpreter. If there is nc
interpreter, one is commanded
to keep quiet and talk to God
only (1 Corinthians 14:26-
28). If there are more than one
speaker of tongues in the church,
let one speak at a time so as tc
be heard one at a time. Let only
one person interpret what is
being said so as to keep down
confusion (1 Corinthians 14:26).
The gift of tongues was God’s
way of “exploding” the Gospel
so as to get the gospel spread and
started in the New Testament
church and not for personal use.
As practicing Christians, we
must respect and give room tc
all who claim tongues as a part
of their religion. Gods still uses
this gift when needed in special
modern-day conditions. The
gospel is now spread over more
than 65% of the earth (nations)
in their native tongues due to oui
dedicated, foreign missionaries
who have been class-room
trained to speak the language
of the country in which they
are serving, or intend to serve.
The ability of the missionaries
to speak the language of the
country in which they serve did
not come to them miraculously,
like the tongues which fell
upon the uneducated disciples
at Pentecost. The language
training comes from months
or years in the classroom. The
language becomes a miracle tc
the missionary when they lean:
it. And all of them do learn the
language. They finish up then
learning when they immerse
themselves in the culture of the
country they serve. St Paul said,
“I wish all of you could speak
tongue, but I would prefer you
preach in your own language
to the people you know (1
Corinthians 14:4-5). St. Paul
said I thank my God that I speak
with tongues more than you
all; Yet in the church I would
rather speak five words with my
understanding that I may teach
others also, than ten thousand
words in a tongue (1 Corinthians
14:18). The gift oftongue is still
alive, but not given miraculously
as much as on the day ol
Pentecost. Today the miracle ol
tongues mostly come by way
of classroom study. By way ol
new technology and computer,
the gospel is being carried to the
four corners of the earth.
