Is speaking in tongues biblical?Is it still for today?And does Scripture teach that it is the initial, outward evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost?In this episode of Scripture Dive, we take a deep look at what the Bible actually says. Joined by Jonathan Matthews, we walk verse by verse through:• Mark 16:17• Acts 2:1–11• Acts 2:33We examine the context of Pentecost, define key terms from the KJV, and explore why the early church consistently experienced speaking in tongues when believers were filled with the Holy Ghost.This conversation is rooted in Scripture—not tradition, not emotion, not preference—but the Word of God.If you’ve ever had questions about tongues, the infilling of the Spirit, or what happened on the Day of Pentecost, this episode is for you.

Is the baptism of the Holy Ghost optional—or is it essential to salvation? In this episode, we walk through Scripture from Ezekiel to Acts to Romans to examine what the Bible actually teaches about receiving the Holy Ghost. From Old Testament promises of God’s Spirit dwelling within His people, to Jesus’ command to be born again of the Spirit, to the consistent pattern in the book of Acts, the message is clear: salvation was never meant to be Spirit-less.

What does it truly mean to be born again? In this episode, we walk straight through Scripture to examine Jesus’ words to Nicodemus and the consistent New Testament pattern of water and Spirit. From the teachings of Christ, to the preaching of the apostles, to real conversion accounts in Acts, the Bible presents a clear, unified message. We cover: Jesus’ definition of being “born again” (John 3) The connection between salvation and water in both the Old and New Testaments Why baptism is more than symbolic The order of belief, baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost in Acts What it means to be baptized into Christ Why the apostles consistently baptized in the name of Jesus How baptism unites us with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection This is not about tradition or denominational teaching—it’s about letting the Bible interpret itself. Scriptures discussed include: John 3:3–51 Peter 3:20–21 Acts 8, 10, 19, 22 Romans 6:3–4 Galatians 3:27 Matthew 3:16

Bro. Faubert joins us to answer questions about Senior Questions, proper answering, and what he's looking forward to in 2026!
