'''Speaking in tongues''', or '''glossolalia''', is a gift described and explained in Acts 2:1-47 with respect to early Christians. It has reappeared in many revivalistic Christian churches in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially in the [[Charismatic movement]]
This phenomenon will enable a person to speak in a language that he normally cannot speak.
In Mark 16:17 Christ states that it will be one of the signs marking those who believe in Him.
Additional Scriptural references can be found in Acts 19:6 and Acts 10:46.
In 1 Cor 12:10 [[Saint Paul]] also mentions the experience as one of the gifts of the Spirit.
