In writing this book to establish the fact that speaking in tongues as manifested on the day of Pentecost, at Caesarea, and at Ephesus, is not the “initial, physical evidence” of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the author does not wish to be understood as teaching that there are no people today with a true manifestation of speaking in tongues. As some one has said, “Even if there are many with the counterfeit, there must, of necessity, be some with the genuine.”
