Do you all speak in tongues?

Glossolalia in a cessationist theological perspective

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the topic of speaking in tongues. Manifestations of glossolalia accompanied the nascent church. Does speaking in tongues continue throughout history or was it somehow restricted to the apostolic period or the patristic period? To answer this question, we also seek to discuss the issues of the usefulness of speaking in tongues in the context of worship in the community of Corinth. The research results indicate that glossolalia was one of the apostolic signs, and the testimony of history shows a decrease in glossolalic charismatic occurrences soon after the first few centuries. The article is bibliographic in nature. We interacted with Calvin and theologians of the Dutch Reformed tradition such as Kuyper, Hendriksen, Hoekema, Kistemaker and others.
