The book of Acts is filled with rich narrative and truths for today, but is it descriptive or prescriptive? In other words, is it describing what life was like in that day or is it prescribing how we should live and act as believers? In this episode, we give context on the book of Acts and answer questions over topics such as spiritual gifts, communism, tongues, etc. 

While speaking tongues may bring to mind unsettling or unorthodox images, you may be surprised to know that this gift of the Spirit was both authorized and even encouraged in biblical times, and it is present today in more denominations than most might think. Listen to this episode to learn more about the gift of speaking in tongues, its purposes, and its popularity today.

Some modern translations, including the New International Version, include the following note after Mark 16:8: “The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.” A similar insertion is found at the end of John 7. It reads, “The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53—8:11. A few manuscripts include these verses, wholly or in part, after John 7:36, John 21:25, Luke 21:38 or Luke 24:53.”

Considering this, should Mark 16:9-20 and John 7:53-8:11 be included in our Bibles? Dr. David K. Bernard explains the reasons why some modern translations include these textual notes, and why we can trust the authenticity of both Mark 16:9-20 and John 7:53-8:11.

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 

2) Publicly speaking in an unknown language during church gatherings and interpreted.

- A spiritual gift.  

1 Corinthians 12:7-11  

- Tongues in church should be interpreted.

1 Corinthians 14:13 

3) Privately praying in the spirit. (praying in tongues/prayer language)  

- Your spirit is praying. 1 Corinthians 14:14-15 

(Dr. Andrew Newberg – praying in tongues bypasses the frontal lobe.)

- Builds up the believer. 

1 Corinthians 14:4 

- Fosters intimacy with God. 

Jude 20-21a 

- Preparation for spiritual warfare

Ephesians 6:18 

How does VFC handle speaking in tongues?

1. We desire all spiritual gifts. 

1 Cor. 12:31 

2. We don’t forbid speaking in tongues.

1 Cor. 14:39 

1 Cor. 13:8-10

3. We will do things decently and in order.

1 Cor. 14:23 

1 Cor. 14:26-28 

1 Cor. 14:40 

4. We will be motivated by love. 

1 Cor. 14:1 

Your spiritual gifts are only as good as your spiritual fruit. 

At VFC, we encourage praying in the spirit, we do not forbid speaking in tongues, we interpret public tongues, and we still love you if you’re weirded out by all of this. 

Homework: Read 1 Corinthians 14 in the Message Bible.
