So... I have always thought that the gift of tongues from the Holy Spirit was ..
* earthly languages..
*spoken by someone who doesn't know them..
* given by God..
*for unbelievers from other dialects to hear the gospel.. to share the gospel and spread the early churches.
This is what you see in Acts 2 with the church at Jerusalem.
It's the clearest example of tongues without any influence from Paganism.. or Gnosticism etc.. that affected other churches.
But then you see it a little differently in Corinthians.. and I am wondering..
Was the church of Corinth.. meant to be doing it just like Acts? Or was there more to tongues than just what happened in Acts 2?
Please show biblical support.
Cheers
