What about Tongues? Speaking in tongues is a subject of great interest to almost every denomination. Its rise in popularity has given way to greater acceptance, and in some cases, harsh criticism. It is believed by some to be demon inspired and divisive. By others, it is believe to be a lovely prayer language which can be exercised at will. Speaking in tongues, to say the least, is greatly misunderstood. We find prophecy concerning tongues in Isaiah 28:11, "For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people." God chose man's untamable member to use as the instrument by which to manifest the initial sign of His infilling with the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:4 gives this account, "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." While Acts 8:17 records they received the Holy Ghost without making mention of whether or not they spoke with tongues, Acts 10:44-46 presents this strong affirmation of evidential tongues speaking. "While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. (v.45) And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the holy Ghost. (v.46) For they hard them speak with tongues, and magnify God…" The term "for they heard them speak with tongues" certainly indicates that his is the evidence by which they knew they had received the Holy Ghost. Acts 19:6, "And when Paul had laid his hands upon them and the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongue, and prophesied."
