Verses In The Bible About Speaking In Tongues

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:4

The Holy Ghost is God’s Spirit. He is the third person of the Trinity and one who gives us the ability to speak in tongues.

1 Corinthians 12:4-6 says, “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all…But one and the selfsame Spirit works all these things, dividing to every man severally as he will” (KJV). This verse clearly shows that God has given everyone different gifts or abilities based on His will for each one of us individually! We must have faith when things don’t seem so easy in our lives because this too shall pass!

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; Mark 16:17

The Bible tells us that speaking in tongues is a sign of faith. It also confirms that speaking in tongues is a sign of the Holy Spirit. In the book of Mark, the apostle John records the words Jesus spoke to his disciples before he ascended into heaven: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them.” This passage indicates that following Jesus’ example will lead to speaking in tongues as well as other supernatural manifestations (such as casting out demons or taking up serpents).

As Christians today, we should strive for this goal by following Christ’s example and obeying his commands. Doing so will enable us to receive all of God’s blessings—including those described here—which are designed to strengthen our faith and enable us to serve him faithfully throughout our lives

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Philippians 2:1

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1 Corinthians 14:2

Paul is telling us that when we speak in tongues, we are talking directly to God. Because no one else understands the language we’re speaking, they cannot benefit from it. When we speak in an unknown tongue, our audience will not be edified (strengthened or built up) by what you are saying. The only person who benefits from your speech is God!

When you pray in an unknown tongue, you should do so with thanksgiving for the things God has done for you and others around the world. It’s not just about entertainment or to get attention from others—it’s a way of communicating with Him directly!

Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 1 Corinthians 14:13

1 Corinthians 14:13 says, “For any one who speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church.”

This verse explains the importance of interpretation and how it can edify you and others. It is important to pray for interpretation in order to build up yourself and other people. Pray that God would give you the ability to interpret what you are saying so that it will be beneficial for your own life as well as others’ lives. This verse also encourages you to pray for others as well as yourself, because sometimes we all need help understanding what is going on around us

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 1 Corinthians 14:4

Speaking in tongues is edifying to yourself, the church and the world.

The act of speaking in tongues is edifying to yourself. It helps you grow spiritually closer to God and learn more about Him.
The act of speaking in tongues is also edifying to the church because it helps draw people closer together as they share their spiritual gifts with one another.
Speaking in tongues doesn’t only lead to growth within yourself and those around you; it also leads others out into missions work around the world. This can be extremely beneficial for churches who are trying for ministry outreach programs like orphanages or soup kitchens as well as missionary outreach programs that focus on helping people living in poverty find better opportunities for themselves through education or job training programs that aim at providing them with employment opportunities once they have completed their schooling

I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. 1 Corinthians 14:5

You can say a lot of things: You can speak in tongues, interpret tongues, or prophesy. And each of these has its own unique power.

The prophecy of tongues is a powerful tool to be used in the church for edification. “I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.” 1 Corinthians 14:5

The gift of interpretation is also important because it allows those who do not understand what was said by someone speaking in another language to have an interpretation provided so they can receive edification and build up their faith. “But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.” 1 Corinthians 14:28

The gift of speaking in other languages without an interpreter is also very valuable because it allows God’s word to go forth into all nations without being hindered or limited by language barriers.

These verses explain some of what speaking in tongues means and why it is important.

Acts 2:4

“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”

I Corinthians 12:28

“And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers…”

Romans 8:26

“…the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”

As you can see, the Bible has a lot to say about speaking in tongues. Some might think that this is just a strange practice, but it actually has important implications for Christians today. God still wants us to speak in tongues so that we can be filled with the Holy Spirit and better serve him through our words.
