Few subjects in modern Christianity are as misunderstood—or as misrepresented—as the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the phenomenon of speaking in tongues. These are not just theological curiosities; they are central to the identity and power of the New Testament Church. Yet, in many circles today, people claim to have the Spirit when they do not possess it. As a result, the Church has steadily lost its grasp of what it truly means to receive the genuine Holy Ghost.
