Podcasts about speaking in tongues

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (11/21/25), Hank answers the question, “Has God spoken?” Muslims answer by pointing to the Qur'an as God's only credible, uncorrupted revelation. Mormons are certain that God has spoken through a revelation called the Book of Mormon. But God has not spoken through the Qur'an, nor the Book of Mormon. He has, however, spoken through the Bible, as Hank demonstrates in his book Has God Spoken?: Proof of the Bible's Divine Inspiration.Hank also answers the following questions:What is a good Bible translation in English? Tashay - MD (2:52)What does the Bible say about the physical appearance of Jesus? Tashay - MD (5:24)What is your view of speaking in tongues? Is it forbidden? Tashay - MD (9:32)Is saying “Jeepers” the sin of using the Lord's name in vain? Mary Lou - Davison, MI (15:12)Answering a skeptic who rejects the faith because he does not believe Noah lived to 600 years old? Judy - St. Louis, MO (22:07)

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. SUMMARY: When a believer begins to experience the Lord, they often encounter the Holy Spirit, which may manifest through speaking in tongues. As seen in the book of Acts, tongues of fire appeared over the disciples, and they spoke languages they had never learned. As believers continue to seek deeper experiences in God, the fire becomes a purifying force—one that cleanses and refines them. This baptism of fire is God's process of perfecting His people and bringing them into true sonship. SHOW NOTES: When a believer begins to reach into sonship and wants to grow in his spirit, he begins to hear about the fire. The refining fire that the Holy Spirit brings on a believer who is seeking to move beyond the salvation experience at first may seem to be more on a soulish level than in a person's spirit. A relatively new Christian can begin moving in the gifts or speaking in tongues and become excited about areas he is moving in, but it may really be mostly the expression of the soul. John the Baptist emphasized that Jesus was coming to baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire, which was superior to the baptism that John had ministered. As the Lord begins to put the cross or the fire to a person's life, he feels very uncomfortable and may even try to back out of the pressure on his circumstances. There comes a point in a person's life where he realizes he has an Adamic nature that God is trying to refine out of him. QUOTATIONS: I think one of the things we're looking at in the restoration, and salvation, and then the baptism of the Holy Spirit, is many people went off on a soulish realm to the degree that they thought the soulish realm was the anointing. And it was not. I don't think the understanding was there on what “the fire” meant. I don't think I ever realized we were born with chaff. I always felt like chaff came as a development as we grew up, and that's not true. A part of the old nature was called chaff, and the chaff had to be burned off. It couldn't remain if we were going to come into the presence of a holy God. You have to realize too that God doesn't technically put the fire on us. We are beaten, and that is how you get rid of the chaff. You're beaten, and then it is thrown in the air, and the wind takes it off. But then when it is done, to make sure the chaff is gone, they pick it up and burn...

Discover biblical guidelines for practicing spiritual gifts in church worship services. This comprehensive study of 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 addresses common questions about tongues, prophecy, and church order that many Christians face today. Learn how to balance spiritual sensitivity with biblical structure in your congregation. Key topics covered include proper use of speaking in tongues during worship services, guidelines for prophetic words and how to test them against Scripture, understanding women's roles in evaluating prophecy, and maintaining order without quenching the Holy Spirit. These biblical principles provide essential guidance for unity and edification.

Paul's instructions offer a balanced approach that honors both the Spirit's work and biblical authority. Discover how to create space for spiritual gifts while maintaining proper oversight and leadership authority. This teaching explores what it means to do all things decently and in order, how to weigh prophetic words, the difference between modern prophecy and Scripture, and practical steps for implementing these guidelines in your local church. Learn why order matters in spiritual gifts and how proper structure actually enhances rather than hinders the Spirit's work. Perfect for pastors, church leaders, small group studies, and anyone seeking biblical wisdom on spiritual gifts, church order, prophecy, tongues, women in ministry, and creating unity in diverse congregations. Based on solid biblical exegesis with practical application for modern church life.

"Faith isn't a switch you flip or a muscle you flex. It's like gravity ...when it's there, you feel it pulling you, and when it's gone, there's no pretending it's still there." Colten Joel Thane BarnabyThis Earth Xperience explores belief, love, and what it means to evolve beyond what you were taught without losing your desire to understand. Colten Joel Thane Barnaby, a former Pentecostal raised in a multigenerational family of pastors, shares his journey from childhood faith to questioning every structure that shaped him. Once a Bible scholar and seminary student, Colten now identifies as an agnostic atheist with an open curiosity toward truth, consciousness, and human connection.Together we explore what happens when the search for truth outgrows certainty. Colten recalls his early experiences speaking in tongues at five years old, his family's deep church legacy, and the moment he realized that understanding mattered more than agreement. The conversation moves from deconstructing faith to redefining love through personal experience and philosophy, weaving insights from thinkers like Bell Hooks and Scott Peck.Colten's reflections extend beyond religion into what it means to live and love consciously. He describes marriage as both fragile and sacred, not because it is unbreakable but because it requires constant care. He challenges capitalist and individualistic systems that isolate people from community and argues that true humanity depends on interdependence, not independence.Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint, shaped by the story of the guest. The X represents anything you choose to explore, express, or expand. In this episode, the X is an Experience with Colten Joel Thane Barnaby, a writer, creator, and podcast host who explores belief systems, spirituality, and human connection through honest conversation. You can connect with him on Instagram and TikTok at @coltenbarnaby and watch his new podcast Ask the Next Question on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.Questions to reflect on:• What does faith mean to you when it's no longer tied to certainty?• How much of your belief system was inherited versus chosen?• Can love exist without belief in God?• When you let go of a framework, what do you hold onto instead?• What happens when truth and comfort no longer align?• How can questioning become a form of worship?• What makes a human if not what we believe, but how we connect?

In this episode of Prove All Things, the hosts take a deep dive into the controversial topic of speaking in tongues. They explore personal experiences, common church practices, and what the Bible actually teaches about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Through scripture and discussion, they explain how early believers spoke in real foreign languages—not mysterious babbling—and how modern “tongues” often stem from emotional influence, learned behavior, or false signs. The program encourages viewers to test all things and seek biblical truth about the Holy Spirit's work in the Church today.

In this paper presentation, Pastor Kong Hee shares on “simultaneous glossolalia” (speaking in tongues), a hallmark of the Pentecostal experience that connects believers to the life and vitality of the apostolic church in the Book of Acts. Why abandon a practice that has served the movement so well? Rather than diminish it, Pastor Kong Hee proposes that Pentecostals should seek to recover and deepen it.

This powerful exploration of Acts 18-19 takes us deep into the heart of what it means to grow in faith through humble correction and discipleship. We encounter two remarkable stories: Apollos, an eloquent and passionate teacher who only knew part of the gospel message, and a group of disciples in Ephesus who had never heard of the Holy Spirit. What makes these accounts so compelling is not just the gaps in their knowledge, but how correction was given and received. Priscilla and Aquila didn't publicly embarrass Apollos—they took him aside privately and explained the way of God more accurately. This respectful, honoring approach to correction becomes a model for us all. The result? Apollos went on to powerfully proclaim the complete gospel, and the Ephesian disciples were baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and prophesying. We're reminded that our faith journey requires ongoing strengthening and establishing—it's not a one-time event but a continuous process of growth. The passage challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we teachable? Do we humbly receive correction? And when we need to correct others, do we do so with love and respect? The dramatic encounter with the seven sons of Sceva serves as a sobering reminder that we need a personal relationship with Jesus—not just knowledge about Him. Finally, we're called to remove every avenue of demonic influence from our lives, just as the Ephesian believers burned their magic books. When we do this, the Word of the Lord grows mightily and prevails in our lives.

The Bible mentions speaking in tongues, but what is it and why does it occur? This week Zach shares stories of people speaking in tongues and presents them up next to the scientific investigations into what happens in the brain during an active glossolalia episode. In the second half of the show, prepare to throw away all your medicine and cancel your next doctor's appointment as the boys discuss the power of healing prayer! Does it work? (YES!) Is it real? (VERY!) And what has been observed in scientific studies? (Quite a lot actually). Tune in this week to learn all about these little understood religious phenomena.

This week on The Sausage of Science, Chris and Cara talk with Dr. Josh Brahinsky, a researcher in the Transcultural Psychiatry Department at McGill University and the Department of Religious Studies at Stanford University, whose work sits at the intersection of anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience. Josh explores how contemplative practices like prayer and meditation shape sensory experience, perception, and emotion, focusing especially on the embodied and affective dimensions of charismatic evangelical worship. With a background that bridges the humanities and sciences, a PhD in the History of Consciousness from UCSC, and a postdoctoral fellowship in Anthropology at Stanford, Josh brings a truly interdisciplinary lens to understanding what happens when people reach for the divine, and how those moments transform the body and mind alike. ------------------------------ Find the book discussed in this episode: Tongues of Fire: How Charismatic Prayer Changes Evangelical Brains and Mobilizes Spirit-Filled Activism www.bloomsbury.com/us/tongues-of-f…-9798881804992/ Find the Article: Brahinsky, J., Mago, J., Miller, M., Catherine, S., & Lifshitz, M.

Pentecost is often remembered for the way that God's people spoke in tongues but Pentecost isn't about speaking in tongues. Instead, Acts 2:1‑13 shows us what happens when God gives His people His Spirit: His power fills them, His presence rests on them, and His people are gathered to proclaim His gospel for the glory of Jesus!

This message challenges us to examine whether we're trying to understand God intellectually or follow Him relationally. Drawing from Proverbs 3:5-7, we're confronted with a profound truth: trusting God with all our hearts means not leaning on our own understanding. The teaching contrasts two educational systems—the Greek method focused on filling minds with knowledge, and the Hebrew method centered on shaping character through relationship. Jesus didn't say 'understand me,' He said 'follow me.' This distinction matters deeply because many of us know Scripture but our lives don't reflect transformation. We can quote verses while our character remains unchanged. The message invites us into something more—becoming like our Rabbi rather than merely comprehending His teachings. When we encounter spiritual realities like speaking in tongues or supernatural leading, our natural minds resist what can only be grasped through trust. The Holy Spirit reveals truth to us, making straight paths where we see only confusion. Whether we're facing decisions about housing, parenting challenges, or daily choices, God calls us to acknowledge Him first—not to figure everything out and then involve Him. Fasting, prayer, and surrendering our need to control outcomes opens us to receive not just answers, but His very nature. The fruit of His Spirit becomes evident in our patience, focus, and hope. We're called to forsake any thought that His plans aren't good, that we know better, or that His direction must make complete sense before we trust Him. Following results in being different, which then results in deeper understanding—but only after we've stepped forward in faith.

Back to the Basics (Part 6): The Baptism of the Holy Ghost

In 1st Corinthians chapter 14 Paul councils the church on the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues.  He also goes on to explain some of the roles of women in the church.Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the Real Jesus and how to be an active disciple.

Continuing the "Reasonable Charisma" series, Pastor Scott Engebretson unpacks 1 Corinthians 12, exploring the nature and purpose of spiritual gifts in the church . He emphasizes that all gifts—whether speaking in tongues or offering a handshake—come from the same Holy Spirit and are intended to show the power and presence of God. Pastor Scott challenges the idea that spiritual gifts are "special abilities" reserved for a few. Instead, he asserts that they are manifestations of the Spirit given to every believer to benefit the common good . This message encourages the church to operate as a unified, diverse body where every member's gift is vital to revealing God's presence and bringing the Kingdom of heaven to earth . For more information about the church, please visit Northwestvineyard.org.

"Build the body, not the ego" is the central theme of this week's message on 1 Corinthians 14, serving as the practical application of spiritual gifts through the lens of love. Paul is addressing the chaos and disorder in the Corinthian church's public gatherings. The sermon compares prophecy, which builds up the church in a common language, to tongues, which are personal and often unintelligible without an interpreter. Gifts are given for clarity and edification, not confusion or boasting. We'll explore Paul's call for order, including rules for speaking in tongues and dealing with disruptive voices. Ultimately, the goal is maturity, self-control, and using our gifts in love for tangible, compassionate action.

Should believers speak in tongues today? Is the Book of Acts prescriptive for Christians—or simply descriptive of what happened in the first century? And how do modern Charismatic and Pentecostal practices compare to the biblical gift of tongues? In this in-depth episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver (Associate Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary and Professor of Bible & Theology for the National Theological College and Graduate School) carefully examines what Scripture actually teaches about speaking in tongues. Drawing from Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 12–14, Dr. Weaver explains: ✅ The true biblical meaning of “tongues” (glōssai)✅ The difference between Acts 2 tongues and Corinthian tongues✅ 12 biblical principles Paul gives for the use of tongues ✅ Why tongues were a sign for unbelievers✅ The biblical case that tongues have ceased✅ Why a “private prayer language” is not found in Scripture.You'll also hear Dr. Weaver's personal story of growing up in charismatic churches and how a careful study of God's Word changed his understanding of this controversial topic.

In this episode of Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott, Landon discusses the importance of speaking in tongues for spiritual growth. He addresses common controversies and misconceptions surrounding this spiritual practice, while providing biblical references and personal anecdotes to support its significance. Landon emphasizes that speaking in tongues is not the ultimate goal, but a tool for believers to hear God clearly, obey Him, and walk in His power. He explains the different types of tongues, their purposes, and answers frequently asked questions regarding this spiritual gift. Join Landon as he encourages believers to embrace all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and shares practical steps for receiving the gift of tongues.

My Story   Talk 29  Travels in Asia and Africa My first trip outside of Europe or America was in 1986 when I visited Pakistan, India, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. It came about in a quite remarkable way. One Sunday in 1985 I was reading an article about India in a Christian magazine when quite unexpectedly I had the distinct impression that the Lord was going to send me to India. I told Eileen about it and we agreed to wait and see what would happen. The very next Wednesday evening we had a meeting in the College chapel where the guest speaker was Ray Belfield who had come to challenge the students about overseas missions. After the meeting Ray came round to our house for a hot drink before making the return journey back to Wigan. As we prayed together just before he left, I found myself praying that the Lord would show us how best we as a College could support the work of missions, and the moment I had finished Ray said to me,             I'll tell you what you can do. You can go to India. I had told him nothing about what had happened the previous Sunday, so this seemed to be a real confirmation of what I felt the Lord had been telling me. But how would I raise the airfare? Shortly after that, Bob Stevenson was the speaker at a similar Wednesday evening meeting, and at the end of his message he totally surprised me. He said to the students, Now the Principal doesn't know I'm going to do this. In fact, I haven't asked anyone's permission to do so, but I want us to take an offering now. It's for your Principal's airfare to India. And the airfare was covered. The following January I went to India. In fact it was not just India. That month I visited Pakistan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia as well. I travelled first to Pakistan and preached for a weekend in Karachi. This was my first experience outside of Europe or America and the culture shock was massive. And it wasn't helped by a severe attack of sickness and diarrhoea! I was so grateful that my friend Dr John Tonge had told me to pack some Imodium tablets! As a result, I was able to preach but sadly unable to eat any of the wonderful food they offered me. On the Monday I flew on to India with an empty stomach but soon recovered very quickly. I landed in Bombay (now Mumbai) and flew on to Coimbatore in the province of Tamil Nadu where AoG missionaries, Lawrence and Margaret Livesey, had planted churches decades earlier. It was truly wonderful to see the results of their sacrificial labours. I spent a little over two weeks there, preaching, teaching and visiting orphanages and schools run by the churches. David Prakasam and Lawrence Arumanayagam had both been students at Mattersey and were now training others to plant churches. One of the greatest thrills of my trip was to visit some of the many churches that had been planted by the students of our students. I saw very clearly that what we were doing at Mattersey was following Paul's instruction to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2. The rest of my trip was spent in short visits to Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. I was based with Cyril and Barbara Cross, British AoG missionaries in Singapore, who looked after me very well. Before I flew back home I had the privilege of preaching in Bible College chapel in Kuala Lumpur, a large AoG church in Singapore, and a very lively house group led by an eighteen-year-old girl in Medan, Indonesia. If I had ever had doubts about women's ministry in the past, that girl's anointed leadership gift was more than enough to change my mind. My final trip to countries beyond Europe while we were still at Mattersey was to Burkina Faso in the year 2000. Several of our students at Mattersey had come from that part of Africa, formerly known as the Upper Volta. Like our students from India, most of them came on full scholarships which we provided for them. The first of these was Guetawende Roamba, the student I mentioned earlier who had recognised that a woman speaking in tongues in a College rally in Manchester was speaking in Moré, his own native language. Another, who came a few years later, was Philippe Ouédraogo who when he first arrived at Mattersey couldn't speak a word of English. I remember picking him up at Retford Station and speaking to him in French, giving him his first English lesson on the ten-minute journey back to College. Passing a field of cows, I pointed at them and said, les vaches, en anglais, COWS. Not that that piece of information would be much help for his studies at Mattersey! But it was a start, and Philippe became remarkably proficient in English in just a few weeks. It was through him that we received the invitation to visit Burkina Faso in November 2000. Eileen was very much looking forward to coming with me but unfortunately was prevented from doing so at the last minute. Eileen had retired in 1999 after serving as College Matron for 21 years and was at home in the utility room doing some decorating. As she was putting up a frieze she climbed onto the washing machine to help her reach the top of the wall and losing her balance fell off it backwards onto the hard floor, breaking the top of her arm close to the shoulder. On hearing the news I was home within minutes – our house was in the College grounds – and rushed her to A&E who confirmed the fracture and strongly advised her not to make the trip to Africa. And when I arrived there a few days later and experienced travelling on their bumpy roads, it was clear that we had made the right decision. The leaders in Ouagadougou were so impressed that she had let me come that they sent me home a few days earlier than planned. The highlights of the trip were preaching several times in French at the National Pastors' Conference, having a meal with, I think, seven of our former students, and being taken to visit some of the villages in the surrounding area. I shall never forget a lady giving me one of her chickens as a thank you for visiting her humble home and being taken by Philippe to a pool inhabited by several alligators. One of them, about eight to ten feet in length, was basking in the sun on the edge of the bank. Although they were wild animals Phillippe persuaded me to approach it from behind while he threw it a chicken.  He then encouraged me to pick up its tail and I, not liking to appear not to trust him, cautiously did as he said. And there was no reaction from the animal! So I was able to tell the grandchildren what I had done and show them a photo to prove it, warning them never to anything so foolish! But actually it wasn't quite as foolish as it sounds. The alligators were indeed wild, but as Philippe explained to me, the people who were not yet Christians worshipped these animals and regularly brought them food. As a result they had become relatively tame. There was, of course, an element of danger – you never know what a wild animal might do – but they were, oxymoronically, tame wild animals! I am so grateful to the Lord not only for the privilege of visiting so many different countries and cultures, and for so many opportunities to be a blessing to so many people, but also for the fun I've had in doing so. And this was to continue for years after my retirement from Mattersey. But before that could happen a very important decision had to be made. Who was to be my successor? Next time I'll tell you how that decision was made.

Acts 18:24-19:7 24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.27 And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed,28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus. 19 And it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. 2 And he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John's baptism.”4 And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying. 7 There were about twelve men in all.   Key Words: Scripture, Bold, Powerful, Way, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Baptism, Name Keystone Verse: He greatly helped those who through grace had believed, for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.

[DONATE WITH PAYPAL] In this first part of a series on the Holy Spirit's role in extraordinary experiences, host Greg Smith explains charismatic gifts like speaking in tongues, prophecy, words of knowledge, and healing, addressing questions from curious listeners. Drawing from Scripture and the history of Pentecostalism, including the Azusa Street Revival and more extreme manifestations like holy laughter and snake handling, he demystifies these phenomena for Catholics, Protestants, and secular audiences. Greg unpacks the Catholic Church's affirming yet discerning stance, rooted in the Catechism and papal teachings, emphasizing balance and authenticity. Teasing Part 2, he hints at how Catholic mysticism parallels these gifts in even more astonishing ways. Donate with PayPal!

We're talking about speaking in tongues—a gift that can seem unusual at first glance but is full of beauty and purpose. Together we'll look at what the Bible says, hear real stories of how God still moves this way today, and discover why it's meant to build up our faith. Whether this is brand new to you or something you've wondered about for years, let's jump in together!

Let's talk about love, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. The Corinthian church had plenty of problems and plenty of questions. Questions about the gift of speaking in tongues, about eating meat offered to idols, about divorce and remarriage. In First Corinthians, the Apostle Paul offers a practical response to these and other issues.  But the foundational principle upon which all his answers rested was love. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”

Like those in Corinth, many churches today have elevated spiritual gifts, especially speaking in tongues, as the mark of salvation causing contention and disunity in the body.  Paul corrects this by clarifying that there are diversities of gifts, distributed by the Holy Spirit for the edifying of the church. Some, not all, have particular gifts, including speaking in tongues. All His children have some gift for the building up of the body.  The greatest gift is the love He poured out on our hearts and without that we have nothing.

The are many traditions regarding the baptism of the Holy Spirit that can be debunked by a closer look at the scriptures. Nowhere in the Bible is speaking in tongues a prerequisite mark of salvation, but rather, the instances in the book of Acts were a mark of the unifying work through the Spirit of God, grafting in the Gentiles and the Samaritans. We are all part of the Body of Christ, and a diversity of gifts are given to build up that body; the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. We are to rejoice in the fact that God has gifted us, and we are not to neglect that gift.
