Baptists believe that speaking in tongues, along with prophecy, and some of the other special gifts are not for today...they were just for back then in The Bible and that God never meant us to continue it into today. As an AG member, raised Baptist, I can say that I was missing something until I stepped into an AG church and learned about the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. While not essential, it is an awesome benefit. Why the Baptists seem to think there aren't those spiritual gifts today, I don't know.
Not all Baptsits believe the exact same thing. Some Baptists believe that when the Bible references "speaking in tongues" it should be translated as "other languages"and that it does not refer to random noises that nobody can translate.

∙ 11y agoGlossolalia or speaking in tongues as the apostles did at the Pentecost is discouraged at baptist churches. If in a praise service someone begins to speak in tongues there will be a request for an interpreter. If no one volunteers, and in most cases there will not be one, the person is requested to stop. This is following a directive from the Letter of Paul to the Corinthians. (I Corinthians 14:13)
Speaking in tongues started because the Apostles were able to communicate to people and were understood even though they did not know their language. Some baptists believe this was a miracle of hearing more than speaking.

∙ 11y agoIn the Southern Baptist church they believe that speaking in tongues is only a legitimate act of God if there is also an interpreter. They also believe that the scripture that references speaking in tongues was a reference to the Holy Spirit giving the apostles the ability to speak foreign languages to better spread the gospel.
