***And once they begin praying in tongues, who knows what they might discover.***
It is interesting that no one spoke in tongues till the Azuza St church started the craze just over 100 years ago.
Several years ago I read a book on tongues. The author tried to make the case that people spoke in tongues way before the Azuza street excesses. When he claimed that certain “churches” were also speaking in tongues the red flag went up!
Standard Christian churches considered those so-called “churches” to be HERETICS, not because of the “tongues” but because of their false doctrines about Christianity.
Your awareness of history seems to be exceedingly inaccurate or lacking.
Pentecostal gifts and manifestations have been traced all the way back to the first centuries of the church.
Actually, THE METHODISTS and QUAKERS used to be very to somewhat Pentecostal.
