This Booklet will unravel the Problem of Speaking in
Tongues in the So called Charismatic Churches
By reading the following scripture from Act 2 it is quite clear that
Speaking in Tongues is to be understood as speaking in Different
Languages.
After the ascension and because of Judas’s betrayal and death,
the 11 Apostles met with the 120 disciples to select one of their
number to be the twelfth Apostle who was called Matthias.
Acts 1.26 And they [The 12] gave lots for them [The 2 disciples selected];
and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven
apostles. And when the day of Pentecost was now come [sometime later not
the same day], they [the Now 12 Apostles] were all together in one place. And
suddenly there came from heaven a soundP as of the rushing of a mighty
wind, and it filled all the house where they [the 12] were sitting. And there
appeared unto them [the 12] tonguesG parting asunder, like as of fire; and
it [the Tongue] sat upon each one of them [the 12]. Acts 1.26- 2.4
When The Tongues appeared they must have been in the shape
of a Human Tongue and also as a Flame to carry such a
description as ‘Tongues of Fire’.
4 And they [the 12] were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak
with different [ἑτέραις] tongues [γλώσσαις]G as the Spirit gave them
[the 12] utterance. 5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout
men, from every nation under heaven...
6 And when this soundP was heard, the multitude came together, and were
confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own
[ἰδίᾳ] language [διαλέκτῳ]D.
We understand from this that God must have supernaturally
imprinted into the minds of the Apostles the ability to suddenly
speak Different Languages thus enabling them to speak in a
Foreign Tongue to the unbelievers, without having to learn
Languages in the normal way.
This was the reverse of the events related to us in Gen 11 where
God confused the language of humans at the tower of Babel.
The confusion of the language was a Miraculous Event.
