    When Jesus said He would build His church did He have in mind putting on a Sunday service or did He have in mind His people coming together in authentic relationship with each other? Is the church today doing what He intended. Not so sure we are.

    Why You Shouldn’t Speak In Tongues

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,468 views

    The arguments against speaking in tongues today, if applied to other Bible doctrines, would have all orthodox Bible believers crying foul. The truth is, these arguments are not true to the Scriptures or Early Church experience, and should be rejected.
