Whenever you discuss speaking or praying in tongues, there are usually two very distinct sides of the topic. There are those who believe they are still active today and those who don’t. While I could give arguments about why speaking or praying in tongues is still relevant for today, that’s not where I want to focus your attention today. For full disclosure, I am writing this from the perspective of someone who believes in praying in tongues and who would argue this practice is still useful and beneficial to the believer. It can also benefit the body of Christ, but only if it’s done in accordance with Scripture. My goal in this article is to bring both theological and experiential aspects to this conversation. There are those who will say you cannot rely on experience, but only on Scripture. I would say you can rely on both, but it is important to ensure the experience aligns with Scripture. With that, let’s talk about praying in tongues.Photo credit: Wikimedia Commons
