About This Product
Excerpt- "In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that they will not hear Me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not." 1 Cor. 14:21,22.
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold are not all these which speak Galileans? we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God." Acts 2:4-11.
It is most important when speaking of this subject that we realize two things. What was the purpose of the gift of tongues? Were they languages that were spoken in the world, or were they merely ecstatic utterances? Now the Scriptures quoted above answer these questions very clearly.
First, they were given as a sign to unbelievers and not to believers.
Second, they were languages understood by those whose tongues they were.
If we bear these two things in mind, then all the Scriptures dealing with the subject become clear at once. As to whether they still exist today, then, if they do, we must expect them to be the same as those spoken of in the Scripture. God gave signs to confirm the Word to unbelievers that is, before the New Testament had been written (Mark 16:20, Heb. 2:3,4) Alas, today we find two things that alarm us in the present tongues movement.
First, they are not used to proclaim the wonderful works of God to unbelievers in their own language.
Second, they are very often associated with some very serious errors as to the Person and work of Christ, as well as other unscriptural practices.
