Tongues

The phenomena of "tongues" is addressed in the seventh installment of the series on the Holy Spirit. The Book of Acts and Paul's first letter to the Corinthians serve as the primary sources for the development of a biblical doctrine on the subject. After considering Luke's historical accounts of believers' initial infillings with the Holy Spirit and the corresponding phenomena of tongues, attention is then turned to the purpose, nature, function, and benefits of this activity as indicated by the apostle Paul. Some pastoral advice and exhortation is provided as a conclusion. In addition to the audio teaching, the teaching notes also include a section which seeks to harmonize the historical data recorded in Acts with Paul's teaching in Corinthians.
