About this listen

Is the modern tongues movement a work of the Spirit—or a departure from Scripture?

In many churches today, speaking in tongues is promoted as a sign of spiritual power, deeper worship, or a second baptism. But what if this modern phenomenon has little in common with the biblical gift—and actually stands in opposition to sound doctrine?

Sound Doctrine, Not Strange Speech: A Biblical Case Against Modern Tongues offers a bold, scripture-saturated response to one of the most controversial topics in Christianity. Through careful study of the New Testament, the author presents a compelling case that tongues were a specific, temporary gift tied to the early church—and that today’s practices often reflect confusion, not the Holy Spirit.

You’ll explore:

  • The original purpose and use of tongues in the early church.
  • What really happened at Pentecost—and what didn’t Paul's corrections to the Corinthian church’s abuse of the gift?
  • Why tongues, along with other sign gifts, ceased after the apostolic era.
  • How emotionalism and experience-driven faith are leading many astray.
  • A call back to biblical simplicity, clarity, and Christ-centered truth.

Whether you're questioning charismatic experiences or seeking biblical answers, this book offers truth, accountability, and a deep reverence for God’s Word.

For those who value truth over trends—this book was written for you.
