Speaking in Tongues

Glossolalia — The Sign That the Fire Had Fallen

Is speaking in tongues biblical? Glossolalia appears throughout Acts and 1 Corinthians. Paul distinguishes tongues as a public sign (requiring interpretation), a personal prayer language, and an intercessory gift — and commands, 'do not forbid speaking in tongues' (1 Corinthians 14:39). At Pentecost, tongues were the audible sign that the fire had fallen and the age of the Spirit had begun.
