Moroni 10:15-16

Brant Gardner

“All kinds of tongues” and “divers kinds of tongues” are really the same statement with a different word that conveys the meaning of “several.” In the early Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, there was a greater emphasis on the tradition of speaking in tongues, a practice which has faded. The modern meaning relies on the phrase “the interpretation of languages.” Rather than as a sign of God’s communication, the modern gift of tongues is a gift of understanding, or communicating with, each other.
