🔍 Is Speaking in Tongues a Gift—or a Deception? | Orthodox Bible Study on Glossolalia

What is the true nature of speaking in tongues? Is it a divine gift of the Holy Spirit, as seen on the Day of Pentecost, or a spiritual phenomenon that demands careful discernment?

In this in-depth Orthodox Christian Bible study, Fr. Johnson Punchakonam explores:

• The biblical accounts of glossolalia in Acts and 1 Corinthians

• The interpretation of tongues by the Holy Fathers like Saint John Chrysostom and Saint Basil the Great

• The Orthodox Church’s caution regarding charismatic movements

• The dangers of prelest (spiritual delusion) and the call to humility and discernment

• Why the proper “tongue” of the Church is the Gospel preached in love, truth, and every language

📿 Grounded in Scripture, Holy Tradition, and the ascetical wisdom of the Church, this study will challenge common assumptions and deepen your understanding of how the Holy Spirit truly works within the life of the Orthodox believer.
