The ARC Perspective
Speaking in Tongues
by Richard Young on 06/01/11
We of the Apologetic Research Center, hold the position that the tongues speaking discussion is an "in house debate," having Christians of good conscious on both sides. Where do you stand on the issue, and why. Feel free to join the discussion.
I must caution, however, that there are many today who see this phenomenon as validation of the salvation experience itself, most notably of whom are individuals holding a "Jesus Only" theology. To them, speaking in tongues is the third step in their 3-step plan of salvation. Without this experience, to them, one is not, and cannot be saved. We of ARC believe this teaching to be heretical, and have exposed it as such in the ARC Perspective entitled; JESUS ONLY? Examining Modern Day Modalism.
Has the Religious Right Gone terrible Wrong?

"You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier." - 2 Timothy 2:3, 4
Has a failure to teach and understand basic Christian doctrine relagated the Christian voice in America to being less one of reconciliation as commanded by scripture, and more of reviling rhetoric under the guise of "moralism?"
Further, has this shift in focus "unequally yoked" those who have accepted the biblical Christ with those who have perverted biblical truth for the cause of said moralism?
Lastly, are Christians called to proclaim salvation TO the unsaved, or to save their culture FROM the unsaved?
Your thoughts.
