The phenomenon described by the term "glossolalia" played a significant role in the early church. The author of this paper analyzes this phenomenon. He tries to answer two questions: what experiences of the early church are to be included in this phenomenon? and what is the significance and relevance of these phenomena in the life of the early church?

This article picks up where part one ended. Focus is on the claims of Neo-Pentecostalism or the charismatic movement on baptism of the Spirit, glossolalia or speaking in tongues, gifts of the spirit, and healing, with the leading texts being Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 12-1 Corinthians 14.
