==Cessationism==
Various Christian groups have criticized the Pentecostal and charismatic movement for paying too much attention to [[mystical]] manifestations, such as glossolalia.<ref>Wolfgang Vondey, ''Pentecostalism: A Guide for the Perplexed'', T&T Clark, UK, 2012, p. 37-38</ref> In certain [[evangelical]] and other [[Protestant]] Churches, this experience was understood as a gift to speak foreign languages without having learned them ([[xenoglossy]]) for evangelization, and [[Cessationism versus continuationism|cessationism]] is the theological position that argues that this and other spiritual gifts were meant only for the apostolic age, and thereafter withdrawn.<ref> Gerald R.
