Acts of the Apostles

Archaeology will not “prove” every claim in the Bible — but it can test whether the writers were grounded in real places, people, and political detail. This deep-dive follows several cases where sceptics once claimed the Bible invented history, and later discoveries shifted the debate: the Hittites, the Pool of Bethesda, the Pool of Siloam, the Pilate inscription, the Tel Dan “House of David” reference, and Luke’s precision in Acts. The goal is not a quick argument, but a careful look that invites you to examine the evidence for yourself.

This SOS Bible study explores speaking in tongues as presented in Scripture, asking whether tongues are a language, a sign, or a requirement. By examining Acts, Corinthians, and the teaching of Jesus and Paul, this article gently tests the claim that tongues are necessary evidence of salvation or a second baptism of the Holy Spirit. Readers are invited to Say, Obey, and Share what the Bible actually teaches—without pressure, formulas, or fear.
