You Asked! #1: What were the apostles doing when they 'spoke in tongues'?

A @Christadelphians Video: Provable Bible Truth Visit our collaborator @bibleunlockedreplay for bonus content and details on how to join in live. - Why watch it? What question does this video answer, and what does Scripture actually say? In this first episode of You Asked!, we examine Acts 2 and the gift of speaking in tongues. We ask whether the apostles spoke known human languages or a mysterious spiritual language, and we compare Acts 2 with 1 Corinthians 14. We show why context matters, why the Greek word glossa alone does not settle the question, and why Acts 2 is clear: the disciples spoke in real languages understood by the worshippers gathered at Pentecost. We also explain how 1 Corinthians 14:2 is often taken out of context, and how Paul was correcting the misuse of a genuine gift—not teaching a separate unknown tongue. We consider why tongues served a special purpose and would cease, and how God gives special gifts at special times for special purposes. If you want a clear, Scripture-based answer, watch and test it for yourself.
