Speaking in tongues was a miraculous gift given on the Day of Pentecost following Jesus rising from the dead. Though we don’t find examples of speaking in tongues in the Old Testament, we do see a consistent pattern: God signified the pouring out of the Spirit by bestowing miraculous gifts. Another interesting pattern emerges: speaking in tongues only happened in cases when the apostles were present.

Under the Old Law, God expected the Israelites to tithe up to three times a year. Christ mentions tithing in a few places, but early Christians did not incorporate the practice of a tithe. Instead of a tithe, early Christians gave based on their own discretion. The church used the funds to support Christian widows, the poor, gospel preachers, Christian prisoners, and those affected by calamities.
