As a Classical Pentecostal church, CHC believes that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is the second blessing after conversion, and speaking in tongues is the initial, outward evidence of the Spirit baptism.

There are seven wonderful benefits of praying in tongues.

(1) Tongues helps us in praising God (Acts 2:11).

(2) Tongues helps in spiritual edification (1 Cor 14:4-5; Jude 20).

(3) Tongues helps in prayer (1 Cor 14:2, 13-15; Rom 8:26-27).

(4) Tongues helps in spiritual warfare (Eph 6:18).

(5) Tongues, with interpretation, helps like prophecy (1 Cor 14:3, 5).

(6) Tongues helps as a sign for unbelievers (1 Cor 14:22).

(7) Tongues helps in spiritual rest and refreshing (Is 28:11-12).
