“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;‭ They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.‭”
Mark 16:17-18, KJV

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.‭ And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.‭ And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.‭ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.‭ And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.‭ ‭‭Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.‭ And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?‭ And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?‭ ‭‭Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,‭ ‭‭Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,‭ Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.‭ And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?‭”
Acts 2:1-12, KJV

“‭‭While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.‭ And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.‭ For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God . . .”
Acts 10:44-46, KJV

“‭‭And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,‭ He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.‭ And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism.‭ Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.‭ When they heard ‭this‭, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.‭ And when Paul had laid ‭his‭ hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.‭ And all the men were about twelve.”
Acts 19:1-7, KJV

“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.‭ And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.‭ And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.‭ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.‭ For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;‭ To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;‭ To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another ‭divers‭ kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:‭ But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will . . . And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? ‭‭Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?‭ But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.‭”
1 Corinthians 12:4-11, 28-31, KJV

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become ‭as‭ sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.‭ Charity never faileth: but whether ‭there be‭ prophecies, they shall fail; whether ‭there be‭ tongues, they shall cease; whether ‭there be‭ knowledge, it shall vanish away.‭”
1 Corinthians 13:1, 8, KJV

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual ‭gifts‭, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an ‭unknowntongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth ‭him‭; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men ‭toedification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an ‭unknowntongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater ‭ishe that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them ‭iswithout signification. Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh ‭shall bea barbarian unto me. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual ‭gifts‭, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. Wherefore let him that speaketh in an ‭unknowntongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an ‭unknowntongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that ‭by my voiceI might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an ‭unknowntongue. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. In the law it is written, With ‭men ofother tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying ‭servethnot for them that believe not, but for them which believe. If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in ‭those that areunlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or ‭oneunlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on ‭hisface he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. If any man speak in an ‭unknowntongue, ‭let it beby two, or at the most ‭bythree, and ‭thatby course; and let one interpret. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God . . . Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.‭”
1 Corinthians 14:1-28, 39, KJV
