QUESTION: If you are a Christian, but cannot speak in tongues, what can
you do about it?
ANSWER: Speaking in tongues as happened in the first century is not the same
as the gibberish that people in error engage in today! In the Bible we learn that to
speak in tongues was simply to be able (without formal education) to speak a
foreign language that already existed (Acts 2:1-11). This is not being done today,
nor can it be!
The purpose of miracles and signs in Bible times was to confirm the Word of God
(Mark 16:20) that was being spoken, but not yet written. When the Word of God
(the perfect law of liberty – James 1:25) was completed, the “gifts” were to fail,
cease, and vanish away (I Corinthians 13:8-13). Since the perfect Word of God
was confirmed and written about the end of the first century, it follows that at that
time the miraculous, including speaking in tongues, passed away according to
the will of God. Since we today have the same completed and confirmed Bible,
which provides “all things that pertain to life and godliness” (II Peter 1:3), there is
clearly no need for the “gifts” today. The faithful child of God will not be involved
with such matters!
