Like most of his fellow-Brethren, he believed that the so-called [[gifts of the Holy Spirit|sign gifts]] ([[miracle]]s, [[divine healing]], and [[speaking in tongues]]) were given only to the early church, for the purpose of authenticating the [[apostles]], and "ceased" with the apostles' deaths. He argued for this view in the Emmaus course on the [[Holy Spirit]], which he authored in 1942.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Tatham|first1=C.

He never endorsed the organized [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]] and [[Charismatic movement]]s, however. He continued to oppose the [[doctrine of subsequence]]; he came to believe in the validity of speaking in tongues, but never endorsed the Pentecostal doctrine that it marks a post-conversion [[Baptism in the Holy Spirit]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Tatham|first1=C.
