Dr. Couch, I have over the years really admired your biblical knowledge. I remember when we went to your church and had come out of a Pentecostal congregation. Some of my relatives believe that speaking in tongues is part of salvation, as well as the belief of the United Pentecostal and Oneness people. What information do you have on this subject? Almost all of my family has been brainwashed on the issue. – D.E.
ANSWER: I recommend the latest commentary in the series I have been working on as general editor, and that is The Book of First Corinthians by a great scholar, Dr. Dan Mitchell, AMG Publications. Also, my book entitled The Holy Spirit that you can get from our ministry. For a donation for shipping, I'll send you, say, ten copies that really explain the issue of "Speaking in Languages." And no, it is not required for salvation, but too, the subject is terribly misunderstood. Paul is not saying in 1 Corinthians 12-14 what they want the passage to say. Send me your address so we can fire off the volumes on The Holy Spirit, if you want them. Too, we have just reproduced a series of studies by the great old scholar, and former teacher of mine, Dr. Merrill F. Unger. In the series he has two CDs on Speaking in Tongues. The cost of the series, with an album, just $30. Make the donation out to Scofield Ministries, and send it to Scofield Ministries, 120 CR 3222, Clifton, TX 76634 Thanks for asking.
