Is Speaking in Tongues for Today? (32 min)

Albert Leckie (1920-1988) preaches on the topic of “speaking in tongues”. He asks what tongues were for. The Bible says they were a sign. In Acts 2, a sign of the resurrection and exaltation of Christ; in Acts 10, a sign of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on the Gentiles; and in Acts 19 a sign of “accomplished redemption”. With these “sign purposes” completed, the sign is no longer required, so tongues in Acts should not be taken as normative for today. Even in 1 Corinthians, all that Paul says about tongues is meant to wean the Corinthians away from their use, not just from their misuse. Reading: Acts 2:1-4 (Message originally preached in Scotland)
