The Modern Tongues Movement by Robert Glenn Gromacki Pdf

The first half of the twentieth century saw the rise of Pentecostalism with its most spectacular feature of speaking in tongues. Now, in the middle of this century, that phenomenon is being experienced in the historic Christian churches, heralded as the new Pentecostalism or the Charismatic Renewal. What has caused this new movement? What are its characteristics? Is modern tongue-speaking of God, of Satan, psychologically produced, or artificially stimulated? Was speaking in tongues designed to be the outward evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Was the gift of tongues given as a permanent or a temporary gift to the church? Can tongue speaking be used for private devotions and self-edification? This book presents a careful study of the modern tongues movement with its historical antecedents. It offers a thorough scriptural study of the biblical phenomenon and evaluates the current movement in the light of that study. - Back cover.

A Critical Review of the Gift of Tongues From 1501-1800 by Samuel Preston Pdf

It is truly amazing to study the gift of tongues throughout church history. This is because of the great emphasis tongues speaking has in the modern charismatic movement. It is central to their theology, and the centerpiece of their experience. Carl Brumback, a Pentecostal author, says, "It has been through the grace of God alone that we have discovered the truth regarding tongues, and crossed the threshold into this marvelous Pentecostal experience." But have Christians throughout the ages been partakers of this "marvelous Pentecostal experience?" The answer to that question seems to depend on whether or not one views the modern tongues movement as Biblical. Obviously, those who have experienced tongues, and wish to defend it historically, see the gift as present in almost every age, and in many individuals and movements. On the other hand, those who question the validity of modern tongues see the phenomenon as being barely present in church history. The struggle then for any student of church history, especially the history of the gift of tongues, is to be as objective as possible when studying and presenting the evidence. Objectivity does not mean taking every reported incident of tongues over the past two thousand years at face value without questioning either its authenticity or appropriateness. Nor does objectivity require that one's theology not govern the discernment process. Rather, theology must be the standard by which all reported incidents are measured. If they match up with Biblical teaching, they must be accepted, but if they do not, then they must be rejected. It is the theological position of this book that tongues ended with the death of the Apostle John. With that in mind, this book will attempt to analyze the supposed instances of tongues from A.D. 1501 to 1800 in the most objective way possible.

Speaking in Tongues by Gerald Hovenden Pdf

The phenomenon of "Speaking in Tongues"is examined in its religio-historical context. Part 1 considers recent scholarly studies of "inspired speech" in the ancient world where parallels have been alleged with the early Christian experience as recorded in the New testament. In Part 2 both the Lucan and Pauline references to "tongues" are considered in detail with a view to discerning the significance of the phenomenon for the church its its mission and worship. In the light of this, practical implications are drawn for the church in the 21st century.

Why Tongues? The Initial Evidence Doctrine in North American Pentecostal Churches by Kenneth Richard Walters Pdf

The modern Pentecostal movement has been studied many times in relation to its theological and sociological background. Previous studies, however, have not focused on the disctinctive doctrine of that movement: the teaching that speaking in tongues is the initial physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Within a very short time of its proposal, acceptance of this doctrine was so widespread as to become the hallmark of the movement. Insistence on such a doctrine led to many being asked to leave their denominations, and thus to the founding of other denominations. This book attempts to answer the question: "Why?" And specifically: "Why Tongues?"

The Charismatic Movement and Gifts of the Spirit Under a Microscope by Don Polson Pdf

There have been many books written on this topic, but this book is sure to be different than any you have read before. All who have read the manuscript said they gained new insights into these spiritualities. The author takes a look at the modern charismatic movement from its start at Azusa Street and follows it to what it has grown into today. His point is that, to be a truth seeker, you cant be afraid to take these issues head-on. He discusses the baptism in the Holy Spirit, a totally different view on gifts, true biblical empowerment (strength through weakness, the Paul model), and thirty-three things we receive the instant we become Christians. The last and hardest chapter to write was the topic of the modern-day tongues movement. Is it biblical? Is there a real and a counterfeit? and how can it be tested based on the Bible?

Book 12 Tongues PB by Kurt Jurgensmeier Pdf

Is there a super prayer language? Somebody is wrong. Either the gift of tongues was intended to be a more intimate way for us to pray, or the modern tongues movement (glossaism) is one of the greatest frauds in Christianity. In this study we defend the following: - Glossaists cannot match the biblical attributes of the gift. - The definition of "tongues" has significantly changed even in glossaism due to embarrassment, not exegesis of Scripture. - In 1 Corinthians 14, the Apostle Paul was attempting to eliminate the same pagan, counterfeit "private prayer language" version of "tongues" that is occurring today. - Glossaism has no answer for the Apostle's clear statement: "Tongues are a [miraculous] sign for unbelievers" (1 Cor 14:21). Rather, the counterfeit version today makes Christians look crazy, just as Paul warned. - The early Church testified universally to the cessation of the gift of tongues. - Legitimate explanations for the current "tongues" phenomena are alarming.

Speaking in Tongues by Mark J. Cartledge Pdf

Speaking in tongues (glossolalia) is a common spiritual phenomenon in the Pentecostal and Charismatic streams of the Christian church. Such Christians believe that when they speak in tongues they are communicating with God in a language that they have never learned--spiritual prayer language given to them by the Holy Spirit. This innovative volume seeks to enhance our understanding and appreciation of glossolalia by examining it from a range of different angles. Christian scholars from diverse academic disciplines bring to bear the insights of their own specialist areas to shed new light on the practice of speaking in tongues. The disciplines include: New Testament Studies--Max Turner Theology--Frank D. Macchia History--Neil Hudson Philosophy--James K. A. Smith Linguistics--David Hilborn Sociology--Margaret M. Poloma Psychology--William K. Kay A final chapter by Mark J. Cartledge seeks to show how all of these perspectives can work together and enrich a Christian appreciation of the gift of tongues.
