Praying in Tongues

The Holy Spirit is essential for fulfilling God's calling on every believer's life. There are four types of tongues in Scripture: tongues as a sign to unbelievers, tongues with interpretation for church gatherings, personal prayer language for individual edification, and tongues for intercession when we don't know how to pray. Barriers to receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit include a lack of persistence, unrepentant sin, and unforgiveness. True Spirit-filled living is evidenced not only by speaking in tongues but also by displaying the fruit of the Spirit in daily life.
