I know that there are many - and even a couple on AFF - who say that they have heard this phenomena, but absolutely no one has any real evidence that it has ever really taken place... and that's remarkable given how wide spread "speaking in tongues" has become.
So... and I'm not disputing the reality of the Spirit of God living and working in the lives of people. And, I'm not disputing or even questioning the efficacy of the Spirit to produce "fruit" and to change lives.
I'm just asking, how does the 21st Century "tongue talker" actually know that they are experiencing the same experience that was described on the Day of Pentecost (and at other times in the NT) or that Paul mentions in his epistles? |
... AND ... as a follow up question:
Since we can't know for certain, why do so many want to make this THE STANDARD for salvation?
