We are the work of God through the very work He performed in the body of

and speak with new tongues, etc.? They are the very ones who believed

"
In my name" is the same as saying "
by my authority".
How does one
speak in tongues in his name otherwise? Did you have to command yourself in the name of Jesus to speak in tongues? No. By the
authority of Jesus himself you did so. He
authorized you to do so!
