What does the Catholic Church says about the Pentecostal believe that you must speak in tongues to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

To the best of my knowledge, the Catholic Church, of course, believes that the Apostles spoke in tongues, such that, each person who heard them could understand what they were saying. The gift of tongues is given to someone for the benefit of someone else - NOT for the speaker. The current trend of people babbling away in something not understood by anyone is more likely a sign of demonic activity, not the Lord. Remember that the Church is always in conformity with the Holy Spirit, as it is the Holy Spirit who guides Christ's body: the Catholic Church. Thus there can be no discrepancy between the Church's belief and God's gift to His people.

∙ 11y agoThe Catholic Church and The Bible say (from St. Paul) that there are many gifts of the Spirit and not all are shared - some have the gift of tongues and others do not -so you do not have to speak in tongues to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church teaches that you receive the Holy Spirit in all the Sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Holy Orders, Matrimony, and Unction or Anointing) and you are filled with the Holy Spirit at Confirmation. The Holy Spirit rarely gives the gift of tongues in this day and age, He gives all of His Gifts for the building up of the Church, not for personal use.

Is the Nazarene church like the Assembly of God church?
No, they are not alike. Assembly of God is a Pentecostal denomination. The Nazarene Church is a breakoff of the Pentecostals, but their beliefs are somewhat different. They do not list themselves as Pentecostals and do not fall under that umbrella. They are a denominational church in their own right, not affiliated with any other church. Some smaller churches have formed from the Nazarene denomination, such as the Wesleyans. Their main belief that differs from other Christian Churchs (Pentecostal) is the belief you can lose your salvation once you are saved. They do not believe in eternal security. They also believe you can reach santification here on earth, not just after you die.. The Pentecostal Church does not teach either of these beliefs, but many Pentecostal Churchs believe in speaking in tongues as a sign you are saved. The Nazarene Church does not believe in this, nor does it encourage the congregation to speak in tongues. Those are the main differences between the two churches. edit by j54gonzalez: I believe you are mistaken about Pentecostal's and eternal security. I was raised Pentecostal and my grandfather is a Pentecostal minister, never have i heard that Pentecostal's believe you can't lose your salvation. If anything it was stressed that you could stray from God and lose your salvation, you can repent for what you have done but none the less you can stray from the "narrow path" if you will. I would like to know where the assumed "breakoff" from the Pentecostal church happened historically. From 1908 until 1915 the official name was "Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene". However, that name was dropped so as not to be confused with the nonbiblical extremes of the pentecostal movement that began with the revival on Azusa Street. Nazarenes are Wesleyan Armenians, who do not believe you can "lose" your salvation like I can lose my carkeys. However, I can become an apostate and after having been delivered from the sin that separates us from God only to return to it. We believe that salvation is based on a relationship with Christ, not a contractual agreement. RMD

List of differences between pentecostal church and Roman Catholic church?
Some not all Catholics can be pentecostal , most are not. Pentecostal Christians recognize the value of the Holy Spirit today in our lives. All Catholics believe in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, too! Pentecostals focus a lot on 'speaking in tongues' even though it is one of the lesser gifts. They really like to focus mainly on Acts in the New Testament and forget that there is the Old Testament and many other books to learn and pray on.
