Its an infilling to where you can spill over onto others...with the working of faith, miracles, healings, words of wisdom, words of knowledge, discerning of spirits.

It's a usual thing to pray in the Spirit for 1 hr. every morning. Wish there was a Pentecostal body near me in the west Chicago suburban area that truly believed in the message of Grace. Their still enveloped in works salvation and or legalism as many Pentecoatals are. I belong to a Evangelical Free church where only a handful are talkers. However, they are afraid to come out b/c of the others who will surely frown on them. Many know I do b/c I'm not afraid to admit it. God has me there for a reason I guess.
rekcah3d GRACE look up Dr.Matthew Stevenson he is on south side but really knows what he talks about. All nations church. He has youtube videos also if you want to watch the full services.
rekcah3d GRACE also lookup Gregory Dickow. He’s a pastor in the Chicago are. The name of his church is Life Changers. He has an awesome ministry and they do pray in the spirit.
It all comes down to where each individuals walk is with the Lord. Amen?He will give us only what we are ready to receive, if we are not ready for something, He isn't going to waste His time...Which is why we have trials, etc, to prepare us for these things, Pretty simple, (for the most part) :)

Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, COMMANDED them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
ACTS 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them "speak in his own language". 7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
Let's take a look at Acts and the Pentecostal narrative for a minute..... The common belief and assumption is that many language were spoken, after all, they're even listed out further in the narrative. But look closely at that list again…..what do you notice? It’s not a list of languages, is it? It’s a list of nations and territories. Is there any sort of relevance to these places referenced in the list? Well, yes indeed; upon closer inspection, we discover that they are specifically those lands and areas of the Jewish Diaspora (Cyprus and Syria are missing - more on this later). Both the Western and Eastern Diaspora are included which is significant, but we’ll get to this a bit later as well. So what about the languages? Read the entire narrative again carefully. Did you notice anything? It may not be apparent at first, but it’s there. Not one place in the entire Pentecostal narrative is even one language ever referenced by name…not one. Further, nowhere in the entire narrative does it suggest or imply that communication was even a problem to begin with! This would seem to send up a few red flags if one were to postulate modern Pentecostal/Charismatic tongues for those of Acts. So if communication was not the issue, what was the problem? “Other languages” were spoken - languages other than what? First, the Pentecostal narrative, contrary to how many interpret it, does not describe xenoglossy, nor does it describe a miracle of hearing one’s own language when someone is speaking another (a phenomenon called “akolalia” by some). Let’s turn to the languages. First, let’s begin with the obvious. Jews already in living Judea would have spoken Aramaic, though if from a larger city, a few possibly grew up with Greek. With respect to the Diaspora, to try and keep it brief and without several pages of explanation, Jews of the Western Diaspora spoke Greek as their native language; those of the Eastern Diaspora spoke Aramaic. Those of the Eastern Diaspora would have been familiar with the local languages of these places, but would not have spoken them as their first/primary language. In the Western Diaspora, all those lands had been Greek speaking for centuries. The “other languages” referred to were simply Greek and Aramaic; the mother tongues (sic!) of those local Jews, as well as those of the Diaspora, visiting Jerusalem for Shavu’ot. So, wait a second - why are they referred to as “other languages”? Other than what? The answer lies in an overlooked aspect of Judaism; ecclesiastical diglossia. The rules of ecclesiastical diglossia of the time demanded that teaching, evangelization, religious instruction, etc. such as what occurred at Pentecost be done in Hebrew (though Greek was slowly gaining influence as an acceptable alternative). The Jews gathered there expected to hear Hebrew, the culturally (and religiously) correct language to use in this situation and on this occasion (even though most would have not understood it) - instead they heard the disciples speaking in their native languages of Greek and Aramaic; both of which the disciples would have spoken. The result was amazement, wonder, astonishment and even ridicule at such an obvious breach of cultural “etiquette”. These men were Galileans after all; they should know better! Another often overlooked reason for the crowd’s amazement was that Galileans were looked at as sort of the uneducated ‘yokels”. Because of this anti-Galilean prejudice, some of the crowd may have been surprised to hear the disciples “proclaiming the mighty works of God” with such authority. What we are witness to here is the breaking of a cultural barrier that was necessary in order to spread the message of Christianity to the world. Indeed, the real miracle of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost may simply have been to give the disciples the courage and spiritual strength to “spread the word” and to dispose of the cultural necessity to do so in one (or two) language(s) (i.e. observe strict adherence to ecclesiastical diglossia). Coupled with this is the allowing of non-Jews access to the Jewish God. Something hitherto virtually unheard of. Let’s quickly get back to our list for a moment. Was there any significance to the ‘list of nations’ we find in the narrative? As we have seen, the list was obviously not included to represent or hint towards any sort of linguistic diversity; there was none. So, if this list of nations does not represent linguistic diversity (i.e. a diversity of ‘tongues’), what was its purpose? One of the reasons to include the list may have been to show that the Jews gathered in Jerusalem represented the Jewish Nation as a whole (Diaspora included), and as a result, may very well have also indicated that the first apostolic mission was meant for the Jewish Nation as a whole (Diaspora included). But was there another reason for including the list? It seems hardly necessary to “spell out” what would have then been common knowledge (i.e. the specific lands of the Diaspora). It is particularly interesting to note that the list starts with Parthia, includes Judea but excludes Syria, and ends with Rome. This seems then to allude to the notion that this list must have been included for some other reason entirely, but what reason? The most prevalent school of thought by far is that the list was placed in the narrative for political reasons (with Syria purposely omitted, and the nations/territories listed in a specific order). It was put there to make a statement. Indeed, this list from Luke, as one writer puts it, “is anti-Roman political propaganda witch advocates kenotic politics at its finest.” There are several well written articles on the subject and I would encourage the reader to explore this further; the political reasons for the list's inclusion is quite interesting! Pentecost - no modern concept of ‘tongues’, no xenoglossy, no akolalia, no language miracle needed here folks; simply Greek and Aramaic instead of the culturally correct and expected Hebrew. The miracle being a breaking through of established cultural barriers and making “God”, directly accessible to anyone, in any language. A concept which, as silly as it sounds today, was virtually unheard of at that time.
@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 that is a logical hypothesis but I think it's true in part. I think that the disciples on the verge of apostleship were not speaking in any earth languages at all. they were speaking in an unknown tongue or the tongue of angels. the Jews from all of those nations heard with their own ears their own language and that is the miracle. they heard the voice of the spirit in their ears hearing the wonderful works of God. I know when the initial speaking in tongues occurs it is in the heavenly language and not one of man
@@acts10truth There is no “tongue of angels” - that section of Paul’s letter is textbook grammatical hyperbole, no matter how you slice and dice it. Jews were gathered from “the known world” , i.e. the Jewish Diaspora. If you were a Jew and lived in the Western Diaspora, your native language was Greek - same holds true for anyone form that area; Jew or non-Jew. Greek had for centuries replaced indigenous languages in that area through the process of Hellenization which had been going on since the time of Alexander. If you were a Jew from the Eastern Diaspora, it was a bit different. These were lands that were never Hellenized and each had its own language; however, if you were a Jew in the Eastern Diaspora, you may have spoken the local vernacular in various degrees of fluency, but the language of ‘home and hearth’, your ‘mother tongue‘, was Aramaic. Jews from all over the Diaspora, but really only two languages; Greek and Aramaic - apostles, being Hellenized Jews, spoke both. No miracle of “hearing” here. Nowhere in the entire narrative is even one language ever referenced by name. Nowhere in the narrative does it suggest that communication was ever an issue to begin with. The miracle was the sign to the Jews that (the Hebrew) God was now being made available to everyone, Jew and non-Jew alike, in any language (rather than the traditional language of Jewish teaching and Judaism in general - Hebrew)- a concept that prior to the Pentecost was unheard of. The concept of the “initial speaking in tongues” will always come out as pure glossolalia; other than anecdotal stories which can never be substantiated, there are no concrete examples of glossolalia ever coming out as real, rational language. Indeed, there are no proven cases of xenoglossy that exist anywhere. Mind you, I’m not doubting the “tongues experience” - as I’ve mentioned, glossolalia can be a powerful tool, but the speech itself is entirely self-created.
@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 The "speaking in "tongues" ,and elsewere in the N.T., has been misunderstood.The original koine greek of the N.T. always translates the word " tongues" as " a language."The apostles and other believers present were all speaking in one spiritual language.Three times the men in the criwd said," How hear we them in our own languages."Any time, in scriptures, that something is repeated three times it is a comfirmation from God.The confirmation here is that the men were hearing in their languages and dialect but the apostles were not speaking them. Not only did they " Hear" in their native languages but the greek word is " dialektos".Which would be the equivalent of someone from the New Orleans hearing someone in Mexico, speaking not only in their language, but with the southern drawl of someone born where they were.Yes Hebrew, Greek, and Latin were spoken all over the civilized world.But those in the crowd " Heard" what was being said in the way people where they lived would say it.
@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 When i recieved the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit filled me and then seized control of my tongue and it just took off. I knew first that i was speaking in " tongues" when i heard myself doing so.
Why do i feel so terrably when i speak in tongues. I feel soo sad and my body gets sore. Feel like i can die of sadness. So is it real tongues.usualling when i feel depressed i start speaking in tongues.
If tongues is a pray language that the devil does not understand, THEN WHY MUST IT BE INTERPRETED IN THE CHURCH. Surely then the devil will also know what was said ??

I'm very grateful for tips on spirit discernment with increase I'm going through but your biblical references have no context given with them. In the spirit filled body of Christ its important that no one can say that we proof text to support our point without context. Plus it helps in understanding so much more. Thank you for your ministry, God bless
One doesn't have to be able to speak with tongues to have the holy spirit. He said it is a sign for the believer. That's the opposite of 1corithians 14:22. And how does one edifying himself when they can't understand it. Test all spirits, he failed
@@ketermalkut7653 I will just take the first Bible reference that you pointed to prove that "devil hates people speaking in tongues". Here's Romans 8:26-27, " Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." In the above verses, Paul speaks about "groanings which cannot be uttered". Speaking and groaning are not the same. groaning is not a language. The Cambridge English dictionary describes groaning as " a deep, long sound showing great pain or unhappiness: ". No Words; the idea is simply of communication beyond our ability to express. Paul goes on to say that God understands this groaning because it is according to the will of God. Now, I don't see any word "devil" or "hate" or "tongues", in these verses. So how are you trying to prove that the devil hates speaking in tongues with these verses?
@@ketermalkut7653 This is not to discredit Dave Roberson, but for your own good to read and understand the scripture yourself. You quoted the verse and I asked you the question but you don't have an answer. it is plain English, you don't have to be a Bible Scholar to understand the bible. We have a resident teacher, the Holy Spirit who will guide us into all truth, as the scripture says. Our trust should not be on a man's credentials or reputation but on the Word of God. For it is written, " Test all things; hold fast what is good."(1 Th 5:21) Sorry, this is not to discredit you either.
@@ketermalkut7653 good to know about your 30 years experience. But, Where does it say in the scripture that the devil hates people speaking in tongues?
Your right but the Holy Spirit doesn't have one if they don't speak in tounges, he doesn't speak in English French Russian or any other earthly language they are all learned languages,you have to go to school to learn them He speaks tongues the language of the Spirit without the brains being involved
How dumb can you be and still breathe? LOL I know we need to pray for these people! But God gave us a sense of humor as well....God forgive me, I laughed!
The focus is to be on the work of Christ, not Satan. God has already established His work thru Christ. In Acts 2, "tongues" means "languages". When the "gift of languages" was given, people from neighboring regions could hear, "the wonderful works of God" in their own native language. Today, what are the "languages" that are being spoken, and from what region do they "hail"?

It is the indwelling of holy spirit that makes one "saved". Without the indwelling of the holy spirit one is not saved and does not belong to God.
Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” (Romans 8:9)

You can have the Holy Spirit and be saved without being baptized in the Holy Spirit. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is like getting an extra dose on top of what you get when you are saved and accept Jesus as Savior. Its an infilling to where you can spill over onto others...with the working of faith, miracles, healings, words of wisdom, words of knowledge, discerning of spirits.
@@Peonies925
When one receives salvation the holy spirit comes to live within him and he has the ability to operate the nine manifestations of holy spirit. Nothing more is needed.
@@acts10truth A believer hasn't recieved the Holy Spirit until they have been baptized in the Spirit.The initial evidence that a believer has recieved the Holy Spirit is always speaking in the heavenly language( tongues).
The right charge for the right battery!
It's a usual thing to pray in the Spirit for 1 hr. every morning. Wish there was a Pentecostal body near me in the west Chicago suburban area that truly believed in the message of Grace. Their still enveloped in works salvation and or legalism as many Pentecoatals are. I belong to a Evangelical Free church where only a handful are talkers. However, they are afraid to come out b/c of the others who will surely frown on them. Many know I do b/c I'm not afraid to admit it. God has me there for a reason I guess.
rekcah3d GRACE look up Dr.Matthew Stevenson he is on south side but really knows what he talks about. All nations church. He has youtube videos also if you want to watch the full services.
rekcah3d GRACE also lookup Gregory Dickow. He’s a pastor in the Chicago are. The name of his church is Life Changers. He has an awesome ministry and they do pray in the spirit.

It all comes down to where each individuals walk is with the Lord. Amen?He will give us only what we are ready to receive, if we are not ready for something, He isn't going to waste His time...Which is why we have trials, etc, to prepare us for these things, Pretty simple, (for the most part) :)
Thank you
Do you have video on how to start to speak in tongues, the practical part?
Odelia, Sid Roth has one that was released in mid April. I think the title is something like “Powerful Weapon (or secret) against CoronaVirus.” Pastor Robert Morris has some good ones on this too. 😊
As a Pentecostal, unfortunately, I will have to agree; however, many of us have wised up and are becoming Pentecostal/Charismatic.
Very good teaching on tongues
Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, COMMANDED them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
ACTS 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were
confounded, because that every man heard them "speak in his own language".
7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
Let's take a look at Acts and the Pentecostal narrative for a minute.....
The common belief and assumption is that many language were spoken, after all, they're even listed out further in the narrative. But look closely at that list again…..what do you notice? It’s not a list of languages, is it? It’s a list of nations and territories. Is there any sort of relevance to these places referenced in the list? Well, yes indeed; upon closer inspection, we discover that they are specifically those lands and areas of the Jewish Diaspora (Cyprus and Syria are missing - more on this later). Both the Western and Eastern Diaspora are included which is significant, but we’ll get to this a bit later as well.
So what about the languages? Read the entire narrative again carefully. Did you notice anything? It may not be apparent at first, but it’s there. Not one place in the entire Pentecostal narrative is even one language ever referenced by name…not one. Further, nowhere in the entire narrative does it suggest or imply that communication was even a problem to begin with! This would seem to send up a few red flags if one were to postulate modern Pentecostal/Charismatic tongues for those of Acts.
So if communication was not the issue, what was the problem? “Other languages” were spoken - languages other than what?
First, the Pentecostal narrative, contrary to how many interpret it, does not describe xenoglossy, nor does it describe a miracle of hearing one’s own language when someone is speaking another (a phenomenon called “akolalia” by some).
Let’s turn to the languages. First, let’s begin with the obvious. Jews already in living Judea would have spoken Aramaic, though if from a larger city, a few possibly grew up with Greek. With respect to the Diaspora, to try and keep it brief and without several pages of explanation, Jews of the Western Diaspora spoke Greek as their native language; those of the Eastern Diaspora spoke Aramaic. Those of the Eastern Diaspora would have been familiar with the local languages of these places, but would not have spoken them as their first/primary language. In the Western Diaspora, all those lands had been Greek speaking for centuries.
The “other languages” referred to were simply Greek and Aramaic; the mother tongues (sic!) of those local Jews, as well as those of the Diaspora, visiting Jerusalem for Shavu’ot.
So, wait a second - why are they referred to as “other languages”? Other than what? The answer lies in an overlooked aspect of Judaism; ecclesiastical diglossia. The rules of ecclesiastical diglossia of the time demanded that teaching, evangelization, religious instruction, etc. such as what occurred at Pentecost be done in Hebrew (though Greek was slowly gaining influence as an acceptable alternative). The Jews gathered there expected to hear Hebrew, the culturally (and religiously) correct language to use in this situation and on this occasion (even though most would have not understood it) - instead they heard the disciples speaking in their native languages of Greek and Aramaic; both of which the disciples would have spoken. The result was amazement, wonder, astonishment and even ridicule at such an obvious breach of cultural “etiquette”. These men were Galileans after all; they should know better! Another often overlooked reason for the crowd’s amazement was that Galileans were looked at as sort of the uneducated ‘yokels”. Because of this anti-Galilean prejudice, some of the crowd may have been surprised to hear the disciples “proclaiming the mighty works of God” with such authority.
What we are witness to here is the breaking of a cultural barrier that was necessary in order to spread the message of Christianity to the world. Indeed, the real miracle of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost may simply have been to give the disciples the courage and spiritual strength to “spread the word” and to dispose of the cultural necessity to do so in one (or two) language(s) (i.e. observe strict adherence to ecclesiastical diglossia). Coupled with this is the allowing of non-Jews access to the Jewish God. Something hitherto virtually unheard of.
Let’s quickly get back to our list for a moment. Was there any significance to the ‘list of nations’ we find in the narrative? As we have seen, the list was obviously not included to represent or hint towards any sort of linguistic diversity; there was none.
So, if this list of nations does not represent linguistic diversity (i.e. a diversity of ‘tongues’), what was its purpose?
One of the reasons to include the list may have been to show that the Jews gathered in Jerusalem represented the Jewish Nation as a whole (Diaspora included), and as a result, may very well have also indicated that the first apostolic mission was meant for the Jewish Nation as a whole (Diaspora included).
But was there another reason for including the list? It seems hardly necessary to “spell out” what would have then been common knowledge (i.e. the specific lands of the Diaspora). It is particularly interesting to note that the list starts with Parthia, includes Judea but excludes Syria, and ends with Rome.
This seems then to allude to the notion that this list must have been included for some other reason entirely, but what reason?
The most prevalent school of thought by far is that the list was placed in the narrative for political reasons (with Syria purposely omitted, and the nations/territories listed in a specific order). It was put there to make a statement. Indeed, this list from Luke, as one writer puts it, “is anti-Roman political propaganda witch advocates kenotic politics at its finest.” There are several well written articles on the subject and I would encourage the reader to explore this further; the political reasons for the list's inclusion is quite interesting!
Pentecost - no modern concept of ‘tongues’, no xenoglossy, no akolalia, no language miracle needed here folks; simply Greek and Aramaic instead of the culturally correct and expected Hebrew. The miracle being a breaking through of established cultural barriers and making “God”, directly accessible to anyone, in any language. A concept which, as silly as it sounds today, was virtually unheard of at that time.
@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 that is a logical hypothesis but I think it's true in part. I think that the disciples on the verge of apostleship were not speaking in any earth languages at all. they were speaking in an unknown tongue or the tongue of angels. the Jews from all of those nations heard with their own ears their own language and that is the miracle. they heard the voice of the spirit in their ears hearing the wonderful works of God. I know when the initial speaking in tongues occurs it is in the heavenly language and not one of man
@@acts10truth
There is no “tongue of angels” - that section of Paul’s letter is textbook grammatical hyperbole, no matter how you slice and dice it.
Jews were gathered from “the known world” , i.e. the Jewish Diaspora. If you were a Jew and lived in the Western Diaspora, your native language was Greek - same holds true for anyone form that area; Jew or non-Jew. Greek had for centuries replaced indigenous languages in that area through the process of Hellenization which had been going on since the time of Alexander. If you were a Jew from the Eastern Diaspora, it was a bit different. These were lands that were never Hellenized and each had its own language; however, if you were a Jew in the Eastern Diaspora, you may have spoken the local vernacular in various degrees of fluency, but the language of ‘home and hearth’, your ‘mother tongue‘, was Aramaic. Jews from all over the Diaspora, but really only two languages; Greek and Aramaic - apostles, being Hellenized Jews, spoke both. No miracle of “hearing” here. Nowhere in the entire narrative is even one language ever referenced by name. Nowhere in the narrative does it suggest that communication was ever an issue to begin with. The miracle was the sign to the Jews that (the Hebrew) God was now being made available to everyone, Jew and non-Jew alike, in any language (rather than the traditional language of Jewish teaching and Judaism in general - Hebrew)- a concept that prior to the Pentecost was unheard of.
The concept of the “initial speaking in tongues” will always come out as pure glossolalia; other than anecdotal stories which can never be substantiated, there are no concrete examples of glossolalia ever coming out as real, rational language. Indeed, there are no proven cases of xenoglossy that exist anywhere.
Mind you, I’m not doubting the “tongues experience” - as I’ve mentioned, glossolalia can be a powerful tool, but the speech itself is entirely self-created.
@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 The "speaking in "tongues" ,and elsewere in the N.T., has been misunderstood.The original koine greek of the N.T. always translates the word " tongues" as " a language."The apostles and other believers present were all speaking in one spiritual language.Three times the men in the criwd said," How hear we them in our own languages."Any time, in scriptures, that something is repeated three times it is a comfirmation from God.The confirmation here is that the men were hearing in their languages and dialect but the apostles were not speaking them. Not only did they " Hear" in their native languages but the greek word is " dialektos".Which would be the equivalent of someone from the New Orleans hearing someone in Mexico, speaking not only in their language, but with the southern drawl of someone born where they were.Yes Hebrew, Greek, and Latin were spoken all over the civilized world.But those in the crowd " Heard" what was being said in the way people where they lived would say it.

Why some Christian hates tongues,they said they are having goosebumps??
yes is true we should speak in tongues.
I'm very grateful for tips on spirit discernment with increase I'm going through but your biblical references have no context given with them. In the spirit filled body of Christ its important that no one can say that we proof text to support our point without context. Plus it helps in understanding so much more. Thank you for your ministry, God bless
One doesn't have to be able to speak with tongues to have the holy spirit. He said it is a sign for the believer. That's the opposite of 1corithians 14:22. And how does one edifying himself when they can't understand it.
Test all spirits, he failed
Why the devil hates us speaking in Tongues?
@@ketermalkut7653 Where does it say in the scripture that the devil hates people speaking in tongues?
@@ketermalkut7653 I will just take the first Bible reference that you pointed to prove that "devil hates people speaking in tongues".
Here's Romans 8:26-27, " Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God."
In the above verses, Paul speaks about "groanings which cannot be uttered". Speaking and groaning are not the same. groaning is not a language. The Cambridge English dictionary describes groaning as " a deep, long sound showing great pain or unhappiness: ". No Words; the idea is simply of communication beyond our ability to express. Paul goes on to say that God understands this groaning because it is according to the will of God.
Now, I don't see any word "devil" or "hate" or "tongues", in these verses. So how are you trying to prove that the devil hates speaking in tongues with these verses?
@@ketermalkut7653 This is not to discredit Dave Roberson, but for your own good to read and understand the scripture yourself. You quoted the verse and I asked you the question but you don't have an answer. it is plain English, you don't have to be a Bible Scholar to understand the bible. We have a resident teacher, the Holy Spirit who will guide us into all truth, as the scripture says. Our trust should not be on a man's credentials or reputation but on the Word of God. For it is written, " Test all things; hold fast what is good."(1 Th 5:21)
Sorry, this is not to discredit you either.
@@ketermalkut7653 good to know about your 30 years experience. But, Where does it say in the scripture that the devil hates people speaking in tongues?

Speaking in tongues is one of Satans BIGGEST deceptions..
The focus is to be on the work of Christ, not Satan. God has already established His work thru Christ. In Acts 2, "tongues" means "languages". When the "gift of languages" was given, people from neighboring regions could hear, "the wonderful works of God" in their own native language. Today, what are the "languages" that are being spoken, and from what region do they "hail"?
This type of tongues is a common practice in voodoo. Google it yourself. No thanks
What it has to do with us in Christ Jesus?
Sound is off. You cannot be heard.
Common words in speaking in tongues are baba and lala. Please see the real meanings
This is the typical rhetoric. Lots of "powerful" statements and no actual scripture to back them up.
