G.W. North addresses the misconception surrounding the use of tongues as a sign for believers, emphasizing that the Apostle Paul intended for tongues to serve as a sign for unbelievers, not as a requirement for validating a believer's experience. He clarifies that the reference in I Corinthians 14:22 should not be used to support the theory of initial evidence, as it misinterprets the context of Paul's message. North highlights that the initial outpouring of tongues at Pentecost was directed towards religious unbelievers, who were not seeking this sign as evidence of the Holy Spirit's baptism. He argues that the modern church often mistakenly demands tongues from believers, contrary to the original intent of the scripture. Ultimately, North calls for a deeper understanding of the purpose of tongues in the church, distinguishing between signs for unbelievers and the experiences of believers.
