Bible Question:
Is there anywhere in the Bible where it says that if you do not speak in tongues that you are not saved? I have a co-worker who is adament about the fact that you're not saved if you don't speak in tongues and I would really like to help her because she is very confused. |
Bible Answer: Dear Nedra, The idea that we are saved by anything other than God's grace is wrong, wrong, wrong. Your friend is being seriously misled. Read Galatians. Eph 2:8,9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Acts 16:31 "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved". I don't see any mention of tongues, or baptism for that matter, in these or any other verse in scripture. Study His Word for yourself and do not rely on the teaching of mere men alone! God Bless Nedra, Brother John |
