Her last meeting in the LC was when the elder out of the blue mocked all tongue-talkers. What could he do, that's how he was trained.
Anyone have some wisdom for facing this issue? It seems to me that tongues is today's equivalent of circumcision. Acts 15 never solved that issue, so I have little hope for tongues. It basically now divides the body of Christ right down the middle.

Now Ohio... surely you don't think I was not going to throw in my .02 worth !
I have grabbled with this teaching too since every 'church' I've ever been to strongly believe in 'the baptism of the Holy Spirit' aka speaking in tongues.
Right now, I have to attend to other things. So I'll be back later to tackle the question.
