Previous studies, however, have not focused on the disctinctive doctrine of that movement: the teaching that speaking in tongues is the initial physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Given that Pentecostals believe that this is a work of grace, such a doctrine seems unlikely to arise, as physical evidence is seldom required or looked for in the life of a believer in relation to any other area of grace. This prompts the question of why such evidence was even being looked for. And yet, within a very short time of its proposal, acceptance of this doctrine was so widespread as to become the hallmark of the movement. Insistence on such a doctrine led to many being asked to leave their denominations, and thus to the founding of other denominations. This book attempts to answer the question: "Why?" And specifically: "Why Tongues?" 410 0$aJournal of Pentecostal theology.$pSupplement series ;$v42. 606 $aGlossolalia 606 $aPentecostal churches$xDoctrines 615 0$aGlossolalia. 615 0$aPentecostal churches$xDoctrines. 676 $a230 700 $aWalters$b Kenneth Richard$cJr.,$01650938 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813387403321 996 $aWhy tongues$94000585 997 $aUNINA
