Beyond Words—Speaking in Tongues

While speaking in tongues is highly valued in Pentecostal and Charismatic Christian traditions, it's important to note that not all Christian denominations share this belief or practice? Why is this—when in Mark 16:15-20 Jesus said for the believer to speak in tongues. It was his last command, “So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God” (Mark 16:19, NKJV). Who do you believe and follow—Jesus or religious tradition?
