Question / Issue

Does this church support the speaking of tongues?

Answer / Solution

Yes, 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 (Acts 1:8).
For more information about speaking in tongues, get Pastor Mark Martin's teaching tapes "Straight talk about tongues part 1 & 2"
You can order the tapes through our web site on the link below.

For even more information about speaking in tongues that you can read, look at Pastor Chuck Smith's response to it. Click on the link below and under the table of contents, choose # 9 and # 10. It really gives a good solid teaching about it.
