Seventh-day Adventists believe that the spiritual gifts such as "speaking in tongues" do continue in the present age, but believe that tongues in the Bible refer to other or unlearned human languages (xenoglossy) only, and were used to communicate the truth to other people from differing languages, and are skeptical of tongues as practiced by charismatic and Pentecostal Christians today.
