The ChallengeWe are going to present (and prove) a number of concepts in this study that are new and even revolutionary to the student of speaking in new tongues. Among these concepts are:• All men have (passively) spoken in tongues from birth, even before they spoke in their native tongue. This includes non-Christians.• Speaking in tongues is a natural and normal thing to do.• People were (actively) speaking in tongues hundreds of years before Christ was born.• New tongues are not real languages and cannot be understood by any man. They can be understood by God because of His power.• The believers in Acts Chapter Two were not speaking in new tongues.• Jesus spoke in new tongues.• By speaking in new tongues one can commune with God, heal the sick, and raise the dead.• You can learn to (actively) speak in new tongues, and do it at will.• Speaking in new tongues is for all intents and purposes gibberish. It is gibberish that only God (by His supernatural power) can understand.• A spiritual thing is not necessarily a supernatural thing.• Speaking in new tongues is a “merely spiritual” manifestation as opposed to a supernatural manifestation.• Speaking in new tongues is not “diversities of tongues”. • “Diversities of tongues” is both a spiritual manifestation and a supernatural manifestation.• Speaking in tongues is a co-operative effort between the spirit and the soul.Numbers. It is estimated that:• 600 million humans believe in the practice of speaking in tongues. • As of April 2006, 500 million humans practice speaking in tongues. • The number of those speaking in tongues has increased 168 million since 1988. • Denominations that promote speaking in tongues add 20 million converts to their pews each year.• 100 million Catholics identify with the Charismatic movement and speaking tongues. • If these statistics are true and continue. By 2025 there could be over 1.14 billion believers who practice speaking in tongues.

Speaking in tongues (glossolalia) is a common spiritual phenomenon in the Pentecostal and Charismatic streams of the Christian church. Such Christians believe that when they speak in tongues they are communicating with God in a language that they have never learned--spiritual prayer language given to them by the Holy Spirit. This innovative volume seeks to enhance our understanding and appreciation of glossolalia by examining it from a range of different angles. Christian scholars from diverse academic disciplines bring to bear the insights of their own specialist areas to shed new light on the practice of speaking in tongues. The disciplines include: New Testament Studies--Max Turner Theology--Frank D. Macchia History--Neil Hudson Philosophy--James K. A. Smith Linguistics--David Hilborn Sociology--Margaret M. Poloma Psychology--William K. Kay A final chapter by Mark J. Cartledge seeks to show how all of these perspectives can work together and enrich a Christian appreciation of the gift of tongues.

Speaking in Tongues follows the quest of Reverend Herbert Bell, Jr. to find out the Biblical truth about speaking in tongues. Throughout his book, he uses various biblical and pastoral sources to determine the origins of the practice of speaking in tongues. His biblical resource is the New King James Version of the bible from which he has also drawn all of the scriptures used in the book. He examines the writings of John Wesley, Dr. Curtis Hutson and James M. Frye to weigh their response to the practice of speaking in tongues. In John Wesley, he finds a voice who just wants his congregation to be able to understand his message. Like Wesley, he has endeavored in this book to present the material in a manner so that all who read it may understand and profit from its content. As he delves more deeply into the writings of Hutson and Frye, he finds two theologians who also share his view of speaking in tongues. With that as a basis, Reverend Bell decided to search the Scripture for himself so that he would learn what God required of him as he worshipped Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Almost 40 years ago John and Elizabeth Sherill introduced the world to the phenomenon of 'speaking in tongues' in their book, They Speak with Other Tongues. The book was an immediate success as thousands were touched by the power of this spiritual gift. The Hidden Power of Speaking in Tongues again explores this spiritual experience powerfully prevalent in the early church. This much maligned and controversial gift was a practical part of their worship and intercession and seeks to be rediscovered in our day. In a day of spiritual poverty, Chavda challenges the Body of Christ to experience afresh the secret dynamic of 'speaking in tongues', as he removes the veil covering this glorious gift.

Speaking In Tongues, Revelation: This book addresses mainly the mystery of the phenomenon of speaking in an unknown tongue. In other words, speaking in an unknown language called tongues. It also addresses the deception of coveting the wrong spiritual gifts. The author breaks down the mechanics of this controversial subject in details from the Scriptures, in opposition to many who have assumed what has been taught. In reading this book, you will gain a full and thorough understanding of the "tongues" spoken in churches today from which you may draw your own conclusion. Many will learn more from the Bible on this subject in one setting than previously in their life. The author states that, God uses ordinary people to carry His word. ACT 2:3 12:11 Michael W. Skinner, a born again Christian, received Christ in 1978. He has studied the teachings of more than 40 pastors and teachers of the Gospel around the country. Many of them are renowned, but teach doctrines apart from the Scriptures. He lives in Norfolk, Virginia. His wife died a few months ago in 2012, before publishing this book. Skinner has two sons and one daughter deceased.

In three carefully researched volumes, this ground-breaking study examines the gift of tongues through 2,000 years of church history. Starting in the present and working back in time, these volumes consider (1) the modern redefinition of "tongues" as a private prayer language; (2) the church's perennial understanding of "tongues" as ordinary human languages; and (3) the Corinthian "tongues," which, in light of Jewish liturgical tradition, turn out to have been a foreign liturgical language (Hebrew or Aramaic) requiring bilingual interpreters. In the first volume, the authors establish that modern glossolalia, far from being a supernatural gift enjoyed by certain believers since the time of Pentecost and undergoing a resurgence in modern times, has no precedent in church life prior to the nineteenth century. They discuss why German theologians, responding to the Irvingite revival, coined the term "glossolalia" in the 1830s; why Pentecostals between 1906-8 quietly began redefining "tongues" to mean a heavenly language unintelligible to human beings but pleasing to God, instead of foreign languages useful for evangelism; why Protestant cessationists believed miraculous tongues had ceased; and why interpolated idioms like "unknown tongues" in Protestant Bibles were aimed originally at Rome's use of Latin.

INTENSELY CONTROVERSIAL!This tough and gritty book is straight from the trenches of the war over the Pentecostal phenomenon of Speaking in Tongues today. Taking no prisoners the author takes on many of the most divisive aspects of the modern Speaking in Tongues phenomenon. No punches are left out and no side on this very controversial subject are safe from this scalding book of insights. The book points out some startling misuses and abuses that need to be considered when determining if Tongues are for Christians today.This book is a must for those who think they have heard it all from all sides on this issue, but feel unsatisfied. In it is presented some unusual thoughts, radical approaches, and new understanding of the topic of Tongues. Though not a Biblical study, this book shares some very unorthodox personal insights to the subject. As coarse as it is towards conventional understandings of Tongues, this book does not condemn the practice, just the presumptions. Pentecostals will be surprised how there actually is more to Tongues than meets the ears.Conservative Christians will be stunned at how frank the discussion is regarding Speaking in Tongues. The overall tone is one of getting one's act together whichever side you land on the issues of Tongues. Such points are made that if you are going to practice Speaking in Tongues, at least know what you are doing, and be aware of how God treats the phenomenon.One thing is for certain. You have never heard many of these thoughts before! Whether you love or hate this book, no doubt you will have some new things to consider regarding Speaking in Tongues today.Considering how explosively controversial this book is, I call it, "Shock and Awe" for today's Pentecostal.Excerpt's from the book: The Pentecostal mindset at best is to have pity on those not 'Filled with the Spirit', or statements like, "It's their loss". I can't say I've ever heard a Pentecostal say it was a loss to the Body of Christ, or the ministry of Holy Spirit.Many claim ecstatic experiences, near death experiences or other religious and unusual phenomenon such as an awareness of a presence, spiritual visions, unusual vocalizations, etc. But stimulating the temporal lobe regions of the human brain with mild magnetic current can artificially induce many of those phenomena. The atheist Michael Persinger has produced some fascinating research with his so-called "God Helmet".The results of several brain scan studies concluded Speaking in Tongues did not involve the speech areas of the brain. The precise area affected was unclear in its purpose, but I believe the act of Speaking in Tongues, privately in particular, reflects a pliable mental state similar to deep meditation. The repetitive sounds certainly resemble the practice of chanting, but seem more deliberate.Regardless of its veracity, Speaking in Tongues is perceived by many outside Pentecostal circles as an object receiving excessive attention, possibly qualifying as an icon of idolatry as others outside Orthodoxy consider images of Mary and saints as such. Though considered irrelevant by many, sacrilegious by others, the audio qualities of Speaking in Tongues have been evaluated in modern times from a scientific perspective.It is apparent to me Speaking in Tongues in general is best understood as 'stimulus' such as a kitten kneading (massaging) its mother's breast to encourage milk production. That is to say expressions of Speaking in Tongues are submissive postures before God, stimulating the grace of God to actively fall. I have witnessed the mentally ill Speak in Tongues, as a frightening manifestation of demonic activity, while the same person, and same audible sounds, while under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit, spoke praises to God.
