Speaking in tongues is a manifestation of the believer's spiritual responsiveness to the Holy Spirit.

• A. servitude
• B. humility
• C. responsiveness
• D. authority

Answer: (C)

Speaking in tongues is a sign that a believer is attuned and responsive to the Holy Spirit’s prompting. When the Spirit moves, the believer is open to His leading, yielding to God in a moment of prayer or praise beyond their own natural speech. This outward expression then reflects an inner readiness to follow the Spirit’s direction, which is why responsiveness is the best fit. Servitude describes duty or service, humility describes a humble posture, and authority describes power or governance—none of these capture the dynamic of being led and moved by the Spirit in that moment as clearly as responsiveness does.
