The gift of tongues was given expressly for the purpose of preaching to unbelieving Jews and was a means of presenting the Gospel to them in the language of the unbelieving Jew without the speaker ever having learned the language. The Bible is clear on this subject that at any one meeting there was to be not more than 3 people speak in tongues and then it was to be one at a time and was only to be used when there was an unbelieving Jew present. Many of these so called modern tongues speakers will tell you that speaking in tongues is a sign that you are spitit filled but not according to the Bible for it states that "tongues are a sign, not to them that believe but to them that believe not" The "them" being unbelieving Jews. Just what on earth goes on in some Churches today?? In some meetings several hundred people all stand up all at the one time and babble in some ecstatic jibberish which is unknown to be any language on earth and where are the unbelieving Jews???
