What is speaking in tongues? Is it Biblical? Is it something Christians should do today? In this message, Pastor Jamie shares about one of the most divisive theological topics in Christianity. Christians should get our theology about tongues from text, not tradition.   Things to know about tongues: 1. The word “tongue” in Greek can mean your physical tongue, but it usually means “language.” 2. The Book of Acts first mentions speaking in tongues as a result of receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit .Acts 2:4 Acts 10:44-46 Acts 19:6 Tongues is ONE possible evidence of Holy Spirit baptism, not THE evidence. 3. Our main Biblical instruction on tongues is within the context of correction. Paul says he speaks in tongues  in 1 Corinthians. 14:18 and wants his readers to speak in tongues in 1 Corinthians 14:5  Scripture records 3 types of speaking in tongues.   1) Publicly speaking an unknown language that is understood by the hearer.  - Spoken in public Acts 2:6-8  - A sign to the unbeliever. 1 Corinthians 14:22a
