Speaking in tongues remains one of the most debated topics in Christianity. Is it evidence of salvation? Is it a private prayer language? Or does the Bible assign it a different purpose altogether?
In this study, Scott examines the Scriptures surrounding the gift of tongues by following Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians and comparing it with Isaiah, Acts, Romans, and Ephesians. Rather than relying on tradition or personal experience, this lesson asks a simple question: What does the Bible actually say?
You'll see why tongues were given as a sign, who that sign was intended for, and how understanding God's prophetic program for Israel helps clarify this often misunderstood subject. The lesson also explains why Paul consistently places the emphasis on charity, edification, and spiritual maturity rather than outward signs.
