They believe that tongues in the scripture are the supernatural gift of speaking in another language without having learned that language, such as at Pentecost in Acts 2 where every man heard them speak in his own language.

They believe speaking in tongues was a miracle for New Testament period and that the Bible states that it ceased: Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away (1 Corinthians 13:8).

Worker Quote: This Gospel of everlasting life has always been preached in an intelligent language. God’s true work of salvation has never been in an incoherent manner, Jesus never spoke in so called tongues or needed an interpreter, nor can Christianity be established if spoken in gibberish. The New Testament Church would have quickly withered on the vine and died if only incoherent, incomprehensible language was spoken in the assembly. Spiritual maturity does not come by ecstasy or mystical heavenly prayer language (unknown to the human ear). The New Testament scripture was spoken and written in a known language to convince the unbeliever and to edify the believer.
