Four Questions on Speaking in Tongues (2 of 3)
Series: Camp Out: A Study of the Holy Spirit
Scott Maze
Acts 2:1-13; 1 Corinthians 14:2-19


Video of University of Alabama's 2018 NCAA championship game appears before me. Shortly after the game, the young, inexperience QB was asked: ''How, in the name of Bear Bryant, did [you] rise to this ridiculously pressurized occasion and become an instant hero?'' ''I was praying,'' Tagovailoa said. ''I was speaking in tongues. It kept me calm.''

This morning, I want to speak to you about ''Experiencing on the Holy Spirit'' by looking at the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the speaking in tongues. Is there untapped power in the speaking in tongues that all of us need? I invite you to turn to Acts 2 and 1 Corinthian 14 as well.

Time allows me to deal with only four questions this morning.

Random people in our church are all over the map on this issue. Yes, the majority of us reject speaking in tongues but many of you are all over the place on this practice. There are some who have taken what the Bible teaches about tongues and gone way beyond the Bible. While others in reaction to things you've seen and heard, have gone beyond what the Bible says by denying the presence of these things altogether. Few matters have divided churches over the later part of the 20th century as this topic of tongues. My big purpose is this message is simple - to see Christians love one another and to use God's gifts to bring order and symmetry to the body of Christ. While some will disagree with me, my hope to see us share an uncommon love for another.

1. What is ''Speaking in Tongues''?

''Speaking in Tongues'' is mentioned in only a few books of the Bible: Acts, 1 Corinthians and also the ending of Mark's gospel.
