Abstract:
The doctrine of speaking different languages is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit whereby one can speak a human dead language , the language of angels or ambiguous and unintelligible languages. Pentecostalists believe that possession of this gift is a sign of the legitimacy of this faith in the Last Days. Therefore, they frequently preach this doctrine in their missionary work to manipulate people. The present study seeks to consider this issue and see whether or not is has a sound basis in the Bible. Therefore, using critical analysis and examining Pentecostal documents, this study expounds this doctrine and refers to some Biblical verses to check its authenticity. The most important findings of this study are the criticisms of the Bible that regard this gift to be related to the age of the Prophet Jesus and his apostles, and consider generalizing it to the contemporary age as contrary to the biblical verses.

Title :نقد و بررسی آموزه تکلم به زبان ها در کلیسای پنطیکاستی
Abstract:
آموزه تکلم به زبان ها، عطیه ای از عطایای روح القدس است که طی آن، فرد به زبانی از زبان های فراموش شده بشری و یا زبان فرشتگان و یا زبان هایی غامض و نامفهوم تکلم می کند. پنطیکاستی ها معتقدند استفاده از این عطیه نشانه حقانیت این آیین در آخرالزمان محسوب می گردد. از این رو، در امر تبشیر از آن بسیار استفاده می کنند. هدف این پژوهش، بررسی صحت یا سقم این مسئله از نظر کتاب مقدس است. بنابراین، این پژوهش با روش تحلیلی ـ انتقادی و با بررسی اسناد پنطیکاستی ها، به معرفی این آموزه پرداخته و با ارائه آیاتی از کتاب مقدس، مسئله را مورد سنجش قرار می دهد. مهم ترین یافته های این تحقیق شامل نقدهایی از کتاب مقدس است که این عطیه را مربوط به عصر حضور حضرت عیسی و حواریون عنوان کرده، و تعمیم آن به عصر حاضر را مغایر با آیات کتاب مقدس می داند.
