The gift of tongues is a supernatural ability, given by the Holy Spirit, enabling a believer to speak in a language they have not learned.

There are two primary expressions of the gift of tongues:

Personal Prayer Language: This form is used for personal edification and intimate communication with God.

Public Tongues with Interpretation: In a corporate setting, the gift of tongues can be accompanied by the gift of interpretation, providing a message for the congregation. When interpreted, it serves to edify and encourage the church.

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a distinct promise, separate from the experience of new birth. Its primary purpose is to empower believers to be bold and effective witnesses for Christ. While speaking in tongues can serve as an initial evidence of receiving this promise, it is not the ultimate goal. In this message, we delve deeper into the true purpose of the baptism in the Holy Spirit—living a Spirit-empowered life that impacts the world for God's Kingdom.

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a promised gift available to all born-again believers, distinct from the new birth experience. This baptism empowers believers to be bold witnesses for Christ, enabling them to share the gospel, testify of God’s work in their lives, and live a more consecrated, Spirit-led life.
