Now if we look back at the 'questionable' sources, we see the false kind by those who were led by Montanus who was a just recent convert into the early church when he first began speaking in tongues and 'prophesying'. He had two female colleagues, Prisca and Maximilla, who likewise claimed the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. They spoke in ecstatic visions and claimed they received the prophetic gift from the prophets and to have been part of a line of prophetic succession stretching all the way back to Agabus and the daughters of Philip the Evangelist. In time, the it spread from Montanus' native Phrygia across the Christian world.[exc..Tabbernee, William. Prophets and Gravestones: An Imaginative History of Montanists and Other Early Christians. pp. 37, 40-41, 89.]
Now this speaking in tongue by the Montanist in the early church was quickly seen for what it was...
"Some of those who heard his spurious utterances at that time were indignant, and they rebuked him as one that was possessed, and that was under the control of a demon, and was led by a deceitful spirit, and was distracting the multitude; and they forbade him to talk, remembering the distinction drawn by the Lord and his warning to guard watchfully against the coming of false prophets....Thus by artifice, or rather by such a system of wicked craft, the devil, devising destruction for the disobedient, and being unworthily honored by them, secretly excited and inflamed their understandings which had already become estranged from the true faith. And he stirred up besides two women, and filled them with the false spirit, so that they talked wildly and unreasonably and strangely, like the person already mentioned. And the spirit pronounced them blessed as they rejoiced and gloried in him, and puffed them up by the magnitude of his promises.... For the faithful in Asia met often in many places throughout Asia to consider this matter, and examined the novel utterances and pronounced them profane, and rejected the heresy, and thus these persons were expelled from the Church and debarred from communion"...Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Second Series: Volume I, Oak Harbor, WA: Logos, 1997, Book V. Chapter XVI.
So there was a tremendous example of the wrong kind of speaking in tongues so that it disappeared from the early church as they saw what kind of spirit was directing these people, so we need to see how it was identified and understood for what it was, and then ask how has it got back into the church?"
First, there is not a shred of evidence that the Montanists spoke in tongues. I challenge you to find it.
2nd, the label "Montanist" stems from Catholic critics. These Spirit-filled believers referred to themselves as the "New Prophecy."
3rd, you are slandering Montanists through the jaundiced eyes of their ungodly critics. Their movement was so Spirit-anointed that they converted the greatest orthodox theologian of the early 200s, Tertullian.
4th, the New Prophecy was also an inspiring women's liberation movement. When these women were excommunicated, they in turn excommunicated the Catholic bishop and then appointed women to leadership roles throughout the Mediterranean world. This movement came at a time when women were considered morally inferior to men. [Maybe I should start a separate thread on how Paul acknowledge female leaders in his churches. [No 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 amd 1 Timothy 2:9-15 don't refute this claim. But that is a complicated issue of a non-Pauline interpolation that requires a separate thread.]
