Hello everyone.

This has probably been asked before, but, what are your thoughts on people speaking in tongue? It has always been something that bothered me. Does it make me less of a Christian if I don't believe in it?

Yes and no.

From legal perspecive, once you received Christ as saviour your status is saved. With or without speaking in tongue... less christian ? no.

From other perspective (e.g. spiritual growth, maturity, knowledge, etc) ... speaking in tongue gives you a lot of heads up.... less christian ? yes.

What is your perspective ?

I don't know. Part of me wishes that it's genuine, but after reading contradicting articles/opinions from various Christian websites;- Something about the gift of speaking in tongue is now gone, it was there during Paul's (I think) time, but nowadays, it's no more.

I have a similar stance regarding faith healers. I have doubts about them having received a gift from God to heal people, as patients who are not healed are often blamed for having not enough faith.

yeah those spiritual gift are gone. but then since this topic is denomination dependent and thread is denomination neutral, I guess it is better not to refute too much here. refute face to face better and more effective imo

Yeah, that's true.
