THE CHUCK SMITH TONGUES MYTH, Lesson 1, Introduction and Challenge to Charismatics, Dr Matthew Mahan

Dr. Mahan is a former charismatic and has been a student of the Bible for many years. He holds six degrees, including earned M.Div and Ph.D. degrees in Biblical Interpretation. He is a certified Professional Electrical Engineer.
Dr. Mahan would like to pass on to others what the Lord has taught him about what biblical tongues are and what they are not. This is one of eight broadcasts running about 12 hours, providing a thorough and comprehensive study on what the Bible says about tongues. It is highly recommended that you start this series from the very beginning and listen to the broadcasts in order, as these broadcasts each build on previous material.
If you have comments you would like to submit, please follow the guidelines below to keep things sharp and focused.
1. Make any appeal from a King James Bible.
2. If you disagree with something in the broadcast or would like to comment about something that is presented, please make a comment relevant to what is being taught or discussed in each particular lesson. State clearly what is being said that you disagree with. To make it easy for me to contextualize it, put the time of the statement you are referring to at the beginning of your comment. For example, if I make a statement you want to comment on nine minutes and twenty seconds into the broadcast, then put something like “At 9:20 to 10:15 you made a statement that…” – “ and then comment. That will mean you are addressing something I said between nine minutes and twenty seconds into the broadcast and ten minutes and fifteen seconds into the broadcast
3. If you want to teach us something you think we don’t already know, or that you think we missed, or if you want to run to some other passage somewhere else about tongues in the Bible to make a point, then please access the particular broadcast that covers that passage or verse, and listen to what is being taught there, and then if you still disagree with what is taught, make your point. Every verse will be covered in this series that has a direct bearing on the subject of the God’s use of tongues in the Bible . It is our experience that Charismatics will very predictably take you to 1 Corinthians, and they will say, “But over in 1 Corinthians so and so Paul said such and such.” Such references almost always involve taking the verses out of context and making applications that are completely irrelevant what Paul is actually saying. If you persist in feeling the need to instruct us about what you know about 1 Corinthians, please don’t be hasty. Be patient. Wait until you have listened to the entire series up through the lesson on 1 Corinthians, before commenting, or please do not bother to comment at all. We will come to every verse in the Bible that deals with tongues in its proper order and context. But wait until the material is covered before you comment on that particular passage. And please listen to all of the material in the order in which it is presented.
4. If you can't review the material in it’s proper order, and you feel that you just must confront us about something you think that we are wrong about before listening to all of the relevant material, we ask that you first scroll down to the end below and examine the material under the link for the tract Dr. Mahan wrote called “Sixty-Six Things the Pentecostal Cannot Find in the Word of God.” There you will find a list of 66 things that Pentecostals and Charismatics commonly and habitually teach and that they cannot demonstrate from the Scriptures. Although not all of them may apply to you, we are confident that if you have embraced the modern teaching on tongues to any degree, some of the items will most certainly apply to you. The point you want to make will probably already be refuted in the tract, because the tract requests a biblical basis for the kinds of things you want to tell us and that we insist cannot be biblically verified. If you contact us or write a comment, and if you don’t tell us that you’ve reviewed the material sufficiently, you will be asked two questions. First, have you listened to all of the material leading up to and including the material that covers the passage you address; and, second, have you read the tract and do you admit that you cannot defend any of the items from Scripture. If you can’t admit that none of the things (including the ones you will probably try to teach us) can be found in Scripture, then please present chapter and verse for anything you think can be found. If you can’t do either, then please do not waste our time or bother to comment, because you are obviously too lazy to search the Scriptures and study things out that you might not agree with.
We pray God will use these broadcasts to help clear up errors in the Body of Christ on the Doctrine of The Gift of Tongues.
