Acts 9:10-12, “And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.  And the Lord said  unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called… Read More »

Another objection to speaking in other tongues is that “only the apostles could minster the infilling.”  Again, this pre-supposes that all the apostles have died (not true). The assumption that speaking in tongues died out with the last apostle’s death carries much credence because no one else would seemingly have been able to minister the… Read More »

The bible was not assembled as a book until over three hundred years after Jesus Christ was resurrected.  If we believe tongues were in operation only until the bible was completed, then we would have to agree that this manifestation was in existence for at least three hundred years.  This would mean that God favored… Read More »

Joel 2:28-29, “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and you daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my… Read More »

Did you know that there are more people speaking in tongues today than at any time in history?  Tongues can be traced back to the Day of Pentecost–through to the history of those murdered and martyred from holding fast to speaking in tongues in the Middle East–to those finally gaining the experience in Europe and… Read More »
