Q & A

What is the main controversy surrounding speaking in tongues in modern worship?

The controversy lies in the belief that speaking in tongues without interpretation is wrong. Some argue that tongues should always be interpreted in order for the congregation to understand, while others believe that speaking in tongues in worship can be a private prayer or worship to God without needing interpretation.

Why do Pentecostal and charismatic churches continue to believe in speaking in tongues today?

Pentecostal and charismatic churches believe that the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues is still valid today because it is seen as a sign of baptism in the Holy Spirit, based on biblical examples like the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2), the house of Cornelius (Acts 10), and the Ephesian disciples (Acts 19).

What does 1 Corinthians 14:2 say about speaking in tongues?

1 Corinthians 14:2 states that anyone who speaks in tongues is not speaking to humans but to God, and no one understands their words except God. It emphasizes that speaking in tongues is a private communication between the speaker and God.

What does 1 Corinthians 14:4 teach about speaking in tongues?

What does 1 Corinthians 14:27-28 say about speaking in tongues in public worship?
