FACT NO. 6—That SIGNS belong to the Nation of Israel and its religion:
Speaking in tongues is a SIGN:
In Jesus’ day, those who sought after signs were called an evil and adulterous
generation (Matt. 12:39). The eight miracles of the Gospel of John are properly
called SIGNS, which included the rising of Lazarus from the dead; and in the
commission of Mark 16:15-18, water baptism is associated with SIGNS. This is
proved in the book of Acts because everywhere water baptism is mentioned a
SIGN is mentioned in the immediate context.
This present age is a sign-less age. We have been blessed with all SPIRITUAL
blessings in the heavenlies in Christ (Eph. 1:3). This is where the emphasis
lies for the Christian.

“For the JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, and the
Gentiles seek after wisdom” (I Cor. 1:22).
Speaking in tongues is a SIGN:
“Wherefore TONGUES are for a SIGN, not to them that
believe but to them that believe not...” (I Cor. 14:22).
