1:55Tongues, Gift of See also Gifts of the Spirit; Tongue A gift of the Holy Ghost that allows inspired individuals to speak in, understand, or interpret unfamiliar languages. We believe in the gift of tongues (A of F 1:7). They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, Acts 2:4. He that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to men, but to God, 1 Cor. 14:1–5, 27–28. Tongues are for a sign to them that believe not, 1 Cor. 14:22–28. Then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels, 2 Ne. 31:13–14. Amaleki exhorted all men to believe in the gift of speaking with tongues, Omni 1:25. It is given to some to speak with tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues, D&C 46:24–25 (1 Cor. 12:10; Moro. 10:8, 15–16). Let the gift of tongues be poured out, D&C 109:36.
