Question / Issue

I know that Calvery doe not pratice Speaking in Tondues. Hovever, when I was Baptized In Jesus Name, I did received the gift of the Holy Ghost and began Speaking in Tongues. When I pray at home, the spirit overcomes me and I speak in tongues, when I come to church, I get overwelmed with the spitit and began Speaking in tongues. The bible also says, forbid not speaking on tongues. Because calvery foes not believe this, I feel that I have to suspress the spirit when it moves on me. What should I do?

Answer / Solution

We believe that all the gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit are in operation today, but in our public services we do not practice speaking in tongues. The apostle Paul said that it was his preference for tongues not to be used in the public worship of the church (see I Corinthians 14:18-19). We also do not believe that speaking in tongues is the evidence of the baptism with the Holy Spirit, rather it is evidenced by love and power (Acts1:8).
