I was anointed with oil and prayed upon while having stage four cancer and afterwards someone asked me, didn't that scare you? the way they were speaking while praying for you..... I heard English the whole time. I heard those words asking for my healing. 2 weeks later I was no longer stage 4 with a 15% chance of survival but now I was a stage two with a 70% chance of survival. 18 years later I'm still here and alive to tell you this testimony. GOD IS REAL. IM ALIVE BECAUSE OF HIM!!!!!!
I knew someone that told me she had spoken in tongues during church and she didn't realize she was speaking in tongues because she understood everything she was saying. It was until the person she had gone with told her what she had heard.
Pentecost is the reversal of the confusion of tongues during the Tower of Babel building. God allowed them to understand each other through the Holy Spirit and the main purpose was praise and worship of the One True God.
Just wondering cuz I'm not sure, but by this verse does it mean we need an interpreter while speaking in tongues to a congregation as in the way a pastor preaches to the congregation or is it just talking about speaking in tongues in public? Because I can pray with just me and God in church or in public as I do at home
@@dannyjauregui2001 yeah you’re correct to pray in tongues whether it would be in church or at home. We have to understand what the Apostle Paul was addressing in the Corinthian church and he was addressing having order to the church rather than everyone just standing around speaking in tongues, in which the unbeliever could not be edified and leave confused as to such. 1 Corinthians 14:23 (KJV) If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? It’s also good to point out that it’s very possible for the entire church to just all be speaking in tongues as he was addressing, however, he was telling them to let everything be done and decency and in order. He does not forbid speaking in tongues, nor does not discourage it. However, he does express the need for both speaking in tongues and prophesying, which is essentially the edification to both the believers and unbelievers. 1 Corinthians 14:39-40 (KJV) 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Unknown tongues in the church isn’t some mystery language it’s just a language the church doesn’t speak… it would be like inviting a guest speaker that only knows Spanish to an English speaking church… no one knows what he’s saying but him and God.
I remember once I was watching a sermon. The pastor was talking about this verse. He said that once, him and some friends of his were invited to a church. During the sermon, someone suddenly stood up and started speaking "in tongues", another person stood up and started interpreting. One of the guys the pastor came with felt off about it. He had some knowledge of the Hebrew language, so he stood up and spoke a simple sentence. Some guy in the church stood up and "interpreted" what he said. It wasn't even close. The guy that spoke the Hebrew said that that was incorrect and stated what he had said. They all got up and decided to leave. Beware. Just because there is someone to speak and someone to interpret doesn't mean it was of the Holy Spirit.
Speaking in tongues is a gift from the holy spirit but keep in mind it's one of the easiest gifts for satan to imitate . Anyone who is speaking an unknown language without an interpreter for GODs purpose you should assume it's not from the holy spirit. I know an example of someone who visited a church in which there was someone speaking in tongues in a foreign language of the pacific Islands. Being an islander and understanding what was being said it was apparent to him that the speaking in tongues was actually cursing GOD
This man was blaspheming the Holy Spirit.. Interrupting a sacred act which we all understood, out of a desire for praise, pride, and to continue his rule over the minds of the congregation.. this man was likely Enlil or one of his followers .
Thats Literally NOT what is being discussed here. Of course what you said is true, but if you lack understanding of this subject please read my main comment on this video.... Hope that helps.
I experienced this blessing once. I was in my early 20s and had recently been married. We were living with her family in Illinois and they were of Pentecostal faith. I had some experience as a Methodist in my early teen years. I remember my Mom took me around to different church denominations. She grew up in the 4 Square denomination and she remembered it was very strict. On one the first times attending in my wife’s church, we sat in the back of the church. Near the end of service the pastor asked everyone to come forward to pray for one of the partitioners. We all moved forward down the aisle to as close as we could get. The Pastor started to pray over this person and at some point he says, “And GOD told me to pray for you!”. He said this as he pointed his finger right between my eyes. He might as well have shot me with a gun as I looked him square in the eye when his booming voice rang those words out. For someone who hasn’t experience that it is hard to communicate what happened to me. It was as if I had instantly passed out. I felt like I was at the feet of Christ. In my mind I was as low as I could be in front of Jesus and it felt as if I was singing praises to Him. I was at complete peace to the point I didn’t want to return to this world. Somehow, the rest of the parishioners brought me to the front of the church and they were all praying for me. I came to shortly after this in complete bewilderment to what had happened to me. The entire church told me I had spoke in tongues. I had never seen anyone speak in tongues before. All I knew was it was real what happened to me. My life with my then wife, was short lived. We ended up getting an annulment against my wishes, but there was some infidelity on her part and I was willing to forgive her, but she was unreconcilable. I went through many ups and downs in my faith ride, God preparing me for what He wanted for me. I now attend a non-denominational church that speaks from the Bible scriptures. I love my church and now serve in the capacity of a youth leader for grades k-5. I absolutely love Gods Children and through my Air Force experience as an instructor, He uses me to preach to them. I can’t wait to be with them each Sunday. It is the highlight of my week. What I experienced with Speaking in tongues was real and I would not change that experience one iota. Praise God Almighty and may we all find our special gifts and use them to Glorify Jesus’ Holy name! I lift each of you up and pray for our country to return to following Jesus. I pray all this in Jesus Holy and precious Name! Amen and Amen.
@randypendleton We see many non-denominational churches springing up everywhere. Nothing wrong with that except that they should encourage the speaking of tongues among believers. Speaking in tongues in our private time builds up our faith and help us in our spiritual journey against devices of the enemies. God Bless you!
@@huios974 Speaking in tongues is a gift from God. Not something that can be invoked or practiced. It isn’t a language spoken between peoples or even understood by people. It is a state in which a person is in God’s presence. Many people have truly experienced this rare occurrence and want that state of peace to happen again, but it isn’t something we can turn on or do outside of God’s intervention. May God continue to richly bless you and yours. 🙏🙏🙏
@@randypendleton2529 speaking in tongues is a gift from God and we are to ask for it. In Luke it says if a child ask the father for a fish, the father will not give him a snake…. and if we ask the Father for Holy Spirit, He will not deny us. I was taught in church to start babling but in one deliverance conducted by a prophetess, the tongue from God just came on. I have heard testimonies of Catholics encountering God and was given tongue right away. If tongue does no benefit I see no necessity for God to give it to us. You have encountered it before. I encourage you to bring it back and continue practising. Perhaps one day God will use you to bring change to your church. God Bless!
Tongues and interpretations of tongues are real. I have experienced them many many times and it is a wonderful beautiful gift given to the body of Christ for the edification and for the comfort of the church. It is also a wonderful dynamic way to pray in private.
There appears to be a 3rd as well. Paul said that when we speak to ourselves and to God, we speak mysteries there appears to be a tongues that is given to some that can be between just them and God.
Most tongues is for talking directly to Father God. Needing an interpreter is for a certain corporate setting like prophesying to the church in tongues...an interpreter is needed. You can ask for the gift of interpretation over your own tongues when praying directly to our Father.
I've been in the Church my entire life and it is rare that there is interpretation of unknown tongues. When sincere questions are raised those who speak in tongues get defensive. That is not the way it should be.
Sometimes the interpreter does not come forward. Perhaps lack of faith or doubting what was said . It is mans fault for not being obedient to interpret. I know I am guilty of not interpreting what I know I heard for fear of reactions and doubt.
@angelstar Indeed interpretation of tongue is rare. Therefore we should refrain from doing it publicly unless prompted by the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongue should be done in private as Paul teaches and as often as possible because it edifies our spiritman
I witnessed my 13 year old brother speak it😊 I was 11 and was shocked and surprised. He remembered not...so now I'm sure it was God speaking to me through my brother. I remember like it was yesterday...thank you God for showing yourself to me that glorious day...
@turtleneckferret it was God's words talking to the spirit...it was truly amazing. I'm 52 now and remember like yesterday. And nothing anyone says will convince me other wise...God bless and have a great life:)
@@BobBob-db2xqIn order for the tongues to be real you need other people to be able to understand it if no one understands it then it was fake as hell you got played my friend in other words it’s gibberish sorry to break it to you.
Exactly, the Chinese lady understood what the other lady said. But if someone speaks in tongues and you don't understand the meaning, then it is not from the Holy Spirit.
@@anniegrigoriyan7905 it says, why is this so difficult to understand?, if you speak in a tongue that no one is there to understand or translate for all the others in attendance, stay silent. That simple. In otherwords, when you are doing the shabballabalka bulk, do not speak it aloud if no one there understands what you are saying. This is not saying it is not of the spirit, though it does warn there are other spirits that can do this to you, to be silent for it only causes confusion and may lead another to not stay around to hear the preached word for they may think you insane and will flee. Good reasons.
@stevendoty9408 That's not what he says in the video at all. If you start speaking tongues and there's no one able to understand or translate what you are saying, then your words are not from the Holy Spirit. Meaning that there are people but no one understands what you say again emphasis in NO ONE, he didn't even mention once to be silent. I think you didn't understand the context of the video.
We must “exercise” this daily as such should be saved. It’s a supernatural experience. It saved me and has kept me. It’s my LIFE LINE with the ONE true living God. Do I do it daily, ? No, I strive for it though. It’s overwhelming to tap into that type of worship and praise to The Almighty. Pray in tongues ❤
I just literally love cliffe. He's so humble and breaks things down so we can understand and accept the word. He's been such a huge part of my religious grasp and growth. Thank you so much. Truly ❤
In the Bible Paul refers to speaking in tongues as crossing language barriers to communicate the message of God to others. God is not a God of confusion and the truly spiritual can control themselves through the grace of God. If the Holy Spirit is present there is always peace and clarity, not confusion. God always wants us to understand, that’s why we should always be wary of participating in behaviors where unclarity dwells. Why do we need to speak in an unknown language to God when He already dwells in us and understands us more than we do ourselves?
Exactly. I know someone who went to a charismatic service many years ago; he was horrified when the person near him suddenly began yelling & cursing at God in Hungarian.
@@deedees12 Correct, we should trust in God always, but this is not an excuse to take His words out of context. For ex. the verses following Acts 2:4 explain how the multitudes were amazed that they could understand the disciples preaching the wonderful works of God in their own native tongue (Acts 2:5-12). The disciples were not speaking an unknown language, but existing ones that people could understand, about the works of God. If Martin Luther headed the verse you referenced, I don’t you think there would be so many different ideologies about God’s Word.
Check out Spirit and Truth Fellowship Internatiinal. Their understanding and accuracy is excellent! Their Revised English Version is excellent. They are outstanding in research, heart and teaching, very humble and kind in the love of God. Excellent books and videos, not after money or fame, sincerity in the spirit and love of God. John Schoenheit the founder has incredible insight and understanding of the Biblical languages and culture, as well as the manifestations of holy spirit! I have experience and study since 1975 onwards, so I am not a neophyte.
In Acts 2 they spoke in tongues of fire and God gave the multitude the ability to hear it in their own language. The disciples did not speak in their languages. You cannot speak in four different languages at the same time. They spoken in tongues, but the people heard it in their own language by way of the Holy spirit. This is why they were so amazed and this is why 3,000 came to know Christ that day.
Yes exactly and because every single person at the same time understood each other and understood what was being conveyed it's 100% likely that it was telepathy just like in the "UFO" community no believe them because those beings are demons or fallen angelic beings
This is an inaccurate statement. The apostles spoke. Everyone heard in their own language. According to that text, they spoken every language. No one heard anything other than their own language come from the apostles. Making a case for anything else would be false.
I was left with the suspense but then analyzing the need for an interpreter makes it absolutely clear that when their is one and not the second of the mandatory pair it is not of GOD. The number of experiences with a single person breaks my hesrt.
I was thinking about that. A lot of churches have members who don’t believe in speaking in tongues, so doing so in a church service like that is probably a nonstarter. But if you were in a group of people who do speak in tongues, and who have been praying for the gift of interpretation, then I think it would be OK for people to do a trial run. To speak in tongues, and ask if anyone understood it. If no one really understands it, that’s a sign that it should just be a private prayer language or that you need to keep praying for someone to interpret and test it out periodically. But you need to be fairly Sure of the integrity and honesty of anyone who says that they can interpret. There are literally Satanists, who infiltrate churches just to screw them up. It’s like one of their jobs.
I speak in tongues quite often and that is when God reveals things of life to me. Quite often when I am stressed it will just flow out of me automatically. TONGUES IS SUPERNATURAL AND VERY REAL AND SCRIPTURAL.
Oh now I get it,when I’m frustrated and want to speak to God I just blast out in tongues as if God is standing right here in front of me and I’m explaining to Him how I feel in my frustration…well,He is always there but you get the point 😂✝️🙏🏿🩸🐑
@ntombikayisetemba2277 u have not got a clue what I am talking about.Tongues is your spirit.Your eternal u. God is Spirit and u have a Spirit that is eternal. You are going to live forever.U just need to make sure your going to the right place.
I’ve noticed when the Holy Spirit really wants to express itself the person will speak literal tongues to God and at that point my experience of speaking tongues, it is the Holy Spirit living in me directly communicating to Almighty God🙏🏼
That has been my experience. I was so elated. I had spoke in tongues many years ago only for a minute. But the other day I was listening to David Hernandez and I sowed a seed and started praying and God moved and gave Me the gift of Tongues that same day I was baptized in My landlord bathtub she’s been a believer Her whole life and is the most precious thing ever. She heard my crying and speaking in tongues and came to edify and ask me if I wanted to get baptized. I said Yes but when . She said right now. It was such a BLESSING I WAITED OVER 20 years for the gift of tongues. Don’t tell Me it’s not real. ♥️🛐☦️🕊️
1. Ask God to baptize you with the Holy Spirit. 2. Speak the tongue that He has given you. 3. Speak or pray without ceasing. (1 Thes 5:17) The sign is you can do it without ceasing.
@@assadmahmout4360the Bible talks about diversity in tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:28 Acts 2 All who were gathered in the upper room prayed in Tongues. God gives liberally to those who ask. When I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit I prayed in tongues. I had no idea about a baptism of the Holy Spirit. I had no one tried to talk me out of it. I simply believed!

A few years ago i was at a church camp type thing and the pastor there asked if people wanted to speak in tongues and when i was younger i always wanted to speak in tongues and get closer to God and speak to him in a way only he knew so i got in line and when it was my turn he put oil on my head and prayed for me and in a few seconds i started speaking in tongues and i started crying because the spirit of God was so powerful and i was just amazed and after they told us that when we pray to speak in tongues because it was a gift and if we stopped using it we would lose it. i was 8 or 9 then and a year or two after that i fell away from God but now I'm back but I'm only able to say a few things and that's it. but i still pray and use it and i have got some back but that's it. if God gifts you with speaking in tongues don't take it for granted like i did.
I don't get please Do you mean once you automatically speak in tongues for the first time, you can now start speaking in tongues when ever you want? Please explain 🙏😢
@Vee_bhaddie it's probably different for other people but for me I was admittedly speaking in tongues and today I can still speak in tongues whenever I want it just comes to me and it feels weird at first because you have no idea what you're saying but God does!
I became an adult believer in JESUS CHRIST while serving in The British Airborne, I heard The Gospel and believed and received, that was 1984, in 1993 I heard the Gospel being preached in Ipswich, I felt The Holy Spirit telling me to go forward for prayer, I did and spoke with an elderly lady, we went and sat down in the coach and the leader came over too, they prayed for me, the lady stood behind me with her hands above my head either side, they both went into other tongues, we said our goodbyes and I left, in my car on my way home Suddenly I was absolutely filled with The Holy Spirit from Above, JESUS Was sitting next to me and 2 Angels in the back The Whole car was Glorious! I was filled from head to toe and as it came up again like a wave out of my mouth came The most powerful tongue and then what felt like 30 seconds into English ~ I was worshipping in The Spirit The Father The Son & The Holy Spirit and I am a son of GOD. Awesome! Out of this world. I pray everyone can have a similar experience 🙏🏼
There is another kind of tongues, in Roman’s 8:26 & 27, there’s a mention of the Holy Spirit interceding on our behalf with groaning too emotional for words that is according to the will of God. This is prayer in tongues that is meant to edify us when we are lowly as well as pray out Gods perfect will when we might not know exactly what it is.
To be clear, there must be an interpreter present when speaking in tongues or a prayer language to a congregation or assembly so that all can know what exhalation the person speaking is giving. We can still and should still speak in tongue or a prayer language in our private time with the Lord and the Holy Spirit because God knows what we are saying so we don’t need an interpreter. Sometimes our spirit just needs to communicate with the Holy Spirit and we need to surrender our tongue and vocal cords to him in private.
@@chijiokedaniel3859speaking in tongues edifies oneself. It’s strengthening oneself in Christ. Giving utterance to the Lord that none understand that we pray in private. Read the Book of Acts to understand what is being said about the Gifts of the Spirit
Exactly right, I made a similar comment..... the lack of understanding on this particular subject is what robs the Church of so much power unfortunately
@@GalaxyCatPlaysthere’s no fire of the holy Spirit. No where in the Bible does it talk about the “fire” of the holy Spirit. I hear this term a lot from charismatics.
I had just gotten out of a room full of people prayinging in tongues and a little english and one of the ladies I was with she walked up to me and I heard her speaking in tongues but she said something like "where are we going to sit" but I knew what she said while I heard tougues so she spoke English to me but I heard tongues
@@grizzlee7290 quite your ignorance, why are you so harsh to your sister. There’s different tongues, mine sounds a lot more like a language than most peoples. But if they are speaking gibberish who are you to stop them? Paul writes that tongues is to edify yourself. Let them be and know who you’re talking to you’re not j talking to stranger but a sister in Christ. Let me guess you don’t believe in baptism of Holy Spirit too? That’s why you’ll never see the kingdom of God moving in your life

”Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.“ 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 ”The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers. If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God. For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,“ 1 Corinthians 14:4, 19, 22-24, 27-28, 33
SO WHEN I WAS BAPTIZED AT 10 YEARS OLD BY THE LAYING ON HIS HANDS AND I RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT I WAS LAID ON THE FLOOR SPEAKING IN TONGUES....... NOBODY HAD A CLUE WHAT I WAS SAYING AND NOBODY COULD INTERPRET WHAT I WAS SAYING BECAUSE IT WAS A SPIRITUAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ME AND THE LORD GOD........ THAT WAS A SIGN THAT SHOW THAT I HAD RECEIVED THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, I ALSO RECEIVED SPIRITUAL GIFTS....
There was a couple and one was sick ( hospitalized for years ) and they were revered in the church. And this was a Bible believing and operating in all the gifts church. We were praying in tongues over the wife for her husband. And I heard clearly the Lord say I will not heal him. Whew. I was not about to tell them that so I said nothing. They so earnestly wanted God to do it and I was afraid I'd get rebuked if I told them what I heard in the Spirit as I interpreted someone's tongue. I was also healed at this church from the laying on of hands and the praying in tongues. From an issue of blood that later I learned it was from fibroids. He was not healed as far as I know. But it is very powerful prayer language and one of the gifts of the Spirit. I can easily go into the language when I am worshipping and in normal prayer. I am talk in the language that changes in dialects to me it's like 3 or 4. My mind prays in English and my mouth speaks in tongues. Even I can interpret the utterances that can not be touched with human words. Its like a direct speed dial to the very Throne of God. We all can reach the throne through sincere contrite prayer. It's like moving water and tunnel of living water straight to Heavens throne. But of all the gifts Paul warned us to make love the most important one. Love is the supreme gift.
I meant * I am able to take in the prayer language and it's in 3-4 different dialects or languages that I've heard over the years and they appear to be ones of lament, worship, praise and just communing. I love the Lord! Once I was praying for my sister who does not speak in tongues. I stayed off in English and went into tongues and after the call. I asked the Lord why did I speak in tongues to hear and she could not interpret or understand. He replied " so that she could catch on 🔥 fire in her Spirit.
The point is... God gave this miraculous gift so people could understand the Gospel. It does no good for people to get up and say: "ako lala shemma abutept" and "yabba dabba do" in worship services. That is NOT tongues, that is mere lip service, people making up words, copying what they grew up watching, and putting on a show.
Exactly! I have seen this many times during Pentecostal services and I’m so embarrassed for these people who are faking-especially the preacher! It’s almost as if they encourage the parishioners to fake it just so though their religion can stand out as The Only True And Original Church-they constantly tell people that when questioned about speaking in tongues. The young kids cry when baptized into the Pentecostal church cuz they can’t speak in tongues but know they must to belong. I have seen them cry and just spat out gibberish cuz they feel like they have to. When I asked a teenager who left that church if she really spoke in tongues, she said no, but you can’t belong to the “cult” if you don’t drink the kool aide. It’s a total hoax!
Excellent and accurate explanation. All the kids in my neighborhood used to come to Church with me every Sunday, because they thought the people were speaking French and it sounded so beautiful to them. I told them the first one stands up to give us a message from God, and the second one stands up to tell us what He said in the language we understand. Those kids are probably grandparents by now. ❤❤❤
In Jesus Christ's holy mighty merciful loving name I pray for my beloved brother bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and everyone else who got injured and also the muslim attacker to be healed Amen ✝️🙏❤️🛐
3. Edification - When a person speaks in another language, he helps himself grow. My grandmother had tongues when she was a child she didn’t know what it was - when you pray in Tongues continually you pray Gods will without your brain getting in the way - you pray the perfect will of God / if you don’t pray your robbing yourself of praying Gods will into your life - you can also be praying the perfect will through Holy Ghost for others or even nations countries I used to pray while driving my car - the car became hosting His presence - non Christian’s were impacted when they hopped into my car
I love the part where you mention praying God’s perfect Will not only for you but for others and mostly for nations! This is mind blowing! I once had an urge to pray for all believers in the world,then I went into tongues…so this makes perfect sense,God is glorious,He is wonderful and amazing ✝️🙏🏿⚔️❤️
1 Corinthians also says that the Holy Spirit will give out the spiritual gifts, like speaking in tongues, as He pleases. We don't get to choose our gifts, like most think in the Pentecostal movement believes. Notice how the pastor says that speaking in tongues is other languages, not just babbling incoherently. The Corinthians thought the same thing, but Paul had to give write a letter telling them how it's done.
You're partially correct because Paul was actually speaking about the gift of tongues interpretation he was not talking about tongues as a personal prayer language he was talking about it used in a public setting a gifting that we can all ask for and not everybody receives this gift but we can all be filled with the Holy Spirit the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues with a personal prayer language to the Lord now if you're a specialty gifted in tongues and interpretation that's a whole other thing but please understand there's a separation of the two things so don't disqualify yourself or other people from receiving a gift that's actually for everybody because in the book of Acts it says they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they all began to speak with other tongues in their own personal prayer languages it was not an electric thing it's not a leadership thing it's not a specialty holy thing it's a individual gift that's there for everybody as your personal prayer language not to be confused with the special elect gift of tongues and interpretation where you are correct on that one point but just wanted to point out the differences between the two there
@@3SonsRC please provide scriptural evidence that there is a difference between the spiritual gift and the prayer language. Since I became a believer, I have never spoke in tongues. Other believers have insinuated that I'm not doing it right. They said that I should pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give it to me, just because I want it. I only want what the Father wants for my life. Nor should I covet or envy what other people have. And this is what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me. There are three occasions in the book of Acts where speaking in tongues accompanied the receiving of the Holy Spirit-Acts 2:4, 10:44-46, and 19:6. However, these three occasions are the only places in the Bible where speaking in tongues is an evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit. Throughout the book of Acts, thousands of people believe in Jesus and nothing is said about them speaking in tongues (Acts 2:41, 8:5-25, 16:31-34, 21:20). Nowhere in the New Testament is it taught that speaking in tongues is the only evidence that a person has received the Holy Spirit. In fact, the New Testament teaches the opposite. We are told that every believer in Christ has the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 1:13-14), but not every believer speaks in tongues (1 Corinthians 12:29-31).
@@JayBee-JB69 to be fair bro you seem like a pretty smart guy and a student of the word so all you have to do is Google any scriptures talking about tongues you'll see in Corinthians many times Paul talks about groanings that cannot be uttered or understood by your natural man that's talking about your natural prayer language and there's plenty of other places but nobody has the time to go through a theological debate here on UA-cam just keep going and asking the holy spirit for Revelation read books on it about the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a prayer language and as the gift and interpretations there is a difference and some of what people have been telling you is actually accurate it is a gift for any believer but you do have to reach out in faith and take it
@@JayBee-JB69 and to put it very simply and this is absolutely not to brag but I have prayed for by the gift of God for hundreds of people get to get filled with the Holy Spirit and the simplest way to explain it, is it's a faith move, you have to open your mouth and speak it by faith as the Holy Spirit fills your mouth just like you receive salvation it's a gift of God for anybody, but you have to believe it in your heart and confess with your mouth, you have to open your mouth but it's faith, it takes some Measure of Faith to at least start to speak in tongues, it's not mind control it's not mental manipulation but the holy spirit will help you as you open your mouth and begin to speak it, it's the same thing with prophecy, many times with a prophetic word as someone speaks a prophetic word or a word of knowledge someone might get one word or a phrase and when they begin to speak those words the holy spirit will give them many more words but they have to start speaking by faith, faith is how the kingdom operates..... good luck on your journey brother
Pray to God for everyone of his followers. Not all Christians have received tongues and I am one. If it is to happen I will not fake it. I’ve felt Gods overwhelming Love on me like a wave of warmth and tears pour from my eyes…but I did not speak out loud in tongues. God loves you if you’re reading this. Pray for me, them, and you. Jesus is the truth.
YES if a person got up to speak in tongues to address the assembly in the place where they're gathering then there must be an interpretation at that time. We do have a prayer language (TONGUES) #NOT GIBBERISH that's between you & GOD. THERE'S tongue when a person speaks eg. indi spanish polish etc for a specific person or nation. I've seen a prophetess spoken in indi she's not indian she recognized it's indi but knew not what she said but was able to interpret under the ANOINTING HOLY SPIRIT, that person she was speaking to wasn't indian BUT it was the grand mother that was indian #BOOK OF ACTS #GOD IS BIGGER THAN WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO SAY HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS #HE IS‼️
Hallelujah when I received the gift of the Holy Spirit and I spoke in many languages it was Amazing and I was shocked and crying and of course I also have my prayer tongue praise Jesus
The Feast of Pentacost was a gathering of Jews throughout the world. The Holy Spirit came upon the Jewish leaders of the day to communicate what God wanted the Jews who spoke different languages. Those leaders communicated what God wanted all these Jews to know about God
I interpreted toungs before. It was pure understanding that defied English. I felt, saw and heard with a perfect understanding of intent. It came with scripture testifying of Christ
I received the Holy Spirit baptism in a divine way, in a miraculous manner 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 My testimony makes me weep My jawbone opened up like elastic band a chunk of airmass gushed into my belly as I swallowed a mouthful of airmass. Bababababa was the initial sounds my lips made....few minutes later I started speaking heavenly language. My tongue speaking is unusual. I speak in diverse tongues of violent quaking and shaking of hands, body , and head
As a skeptic, I think that the original Pentecost tongues seem like a sensible sort of miracle for the Holy Spirit to do. It achieves something practical and demonstrates something amazing to the eye-witnesses. To what end would the Holy Spirit make a person speak gibberish? If he wants to convey a message, why not just inspire the interpreter directly? If the believers want to demonstrate something amazing (or actually cared if it was real or not), they would test it with experiments with multiple isolated interpreters.
There's tongues to edify oneself then there's tongues to be interpreted the ones to edify the enemy wants understand as it's a direct communication to God and it does edify and its your own prayer language
@bigdavexx1 silent prayer in the mind is the secret place. It's also communication between you and Him, and it's direct. "Anyone who speaks in tongues does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him, he utters mysteries, with his spirit." 1 Corinthians 14:5
Im in a very important phase of life,Please pray for me to achieve successful,this is very important for me, if i suceed in this project my life will change oh lord help me
Praying in tongues man is the most amazing feeling. Whatever the Holy Spirit is speaking through you, you really feel kinda drunk in the Holy Spirit. You will have this for yourself these prayers in tongues are like an incense to God they go straight to the thrown room!! God Rapha Adonai oh he’s so amazing thank you Jesus give George more Lord. Faith to faith and Glory to Glory in Jesus name! god blesss you!! Watch what God does if you start speaking in tongues and just step out and start praying for people. Watch I promise! It’s simple I feel the need to pray ,Back line up spine line up be healed in Jesus name whoever reads this and has back pain I command the back to be new 100% healed in the mighty name of Jesus we thank you and we thank you for it father God! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
He made one mistake here, tongues were not given to communicate the gospel it was a sign given to the unbelievers to hear the wonderful works of God meaning Praise! Acts 2:11…Peter preached the gospel afterwards in his own tongue and people were cut at the heart to receive the truth. In Greek there are 4 words for works: Ergon-most common, deeds or action Praxis- practice-works performed Dynamis - supernatural works- miracles Mageleios - to magnify or praise. Mageleios is only used 2 times in the New Testament and one of the times is in Acts 2:11 thus the speaking tongues was a praise given unto God. That is what speaking in tongues is a praise 99% of the time unless it’s a prophetic message needed to be interpreted. One can speak heavenly or earthly languages in a true worship from the Spirit who is in you. Even Paul said if you speak in tongues you do praise well but no one will understand what you are saying. In other words it’s awesome you’re praising but speak the gospel in words of understanding so people can make a decision for Christ.
I’ve been a witness to the second example. We were in a prayer circle in a retreat with a priest giving us an intro to the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit and one of us started praying in tongues. It sounded just like gibberish to me, but one of my buddies was like “what do you mean? He was speaking in plain English” turns out it was a message specifically to him relevant to difficult situations in his own life.
This is a very clear explanation of what scripture says about speaking in tongues. Once I asked a pastor that if I prayed and tried for years to manifest the gift of tongues, yet it just wouldn’t happen, was there something I didn’t know, or was I doing something wrong. His answer to me was, “it’s like a smile, you’ve got to fake it until you make it.” I thought to myself, “ok, that’s what people are doing when they redundantly repeat a set of gibberish words. But as for me, I will wait on the Lord to manifest this gift if there were ever a need for it. I’m not faking anything when it comes to God and my Savior Jesus Christ.”
Does not make sense that a interpreter would mean anything else than someone who can understand many languages. As his first point suggests. Than he does a 180 and says tongues mean an unknown langauge and the holy spirt makes another understand another private language to God? Its not a interpreter for tongues in an unknown language, but an interpretor for a known language
Some time in the past, the Holy Spirit gave me a french term to speak to a french guy that worked with me, I am Afrikaans and still learning french so only knew like "The woman" "The man" "Hello" etc. The term, je suis avec toi, came up while we were speaking... It means "I am with you" but only in the way that Jesus says He is with us. The french guy believed in Christ so I was the vessel carrying a message from YHVH to him without even understanding the language myself
Happened to me before but I was not obedient to reply and I will next time if given another chance of obedience. It was not French. Thank you for your testimony.
The gift of a woven tongue is the ability speak to a crowd of different languages and everyone can understand it, not people speaking jiberish and need interpreter......
Any Greek who knows Greek who can read Koine Greek knows that the word should be "languages" not "tongues", it's the same word and in the Greek it's clear it's referring to human language not "tongues" . . .whatever that means
in many langages tongue is a synonym for language. i mean the word tongue can have 2 meanings in many languages. 1 the physical muscle in your mouth 2 a language i guess thats were it came from
@@frankwilliamk3769 if it was correctly translated then it would be clear that the Bible in every instance it is referring to "tongues" it is referring to understanding and communicating in different earthly languages. There is no "tongues" language that you see on UA-cam where people are making strange sounds
@Unknown987X Yes exactly, it is absolutely critical to know and to read the Greek otherwise you will be open to the interpretations and beholden to the interests of a person who does spend the time to learn it.
@@CP-my7qz wrong, youve been led astray by people faking tongues. there is a language called tongues that demons and the devil cannot understand. the bible doesnt lie. and it wasnt incorrectly translated corinthians 14 6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching? 7 Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played? 8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? 9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without [a]significance. 11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a [b]foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me. 12 Even so you, since you are [c]zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the [d]edification of the church that you seek to excel. 13 Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding. 16 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say? 17 For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified. therefore its clear such a language exists, also ive heard tongues spoken and translated and its always lining up with the bible. tonges is one of the gifts of the holy spirit read the bible its all there
@@deedees12 I don't understand the point you are making, I don't know all the languages of the world. I know the Greek that the Bible was written in and it is abundantly clear that "tongues" is referring to earthly languages

Sounds authentic, don't it?
Ive only ever seen one person speak in tongues where I felt the holy spirit was present. His brother was standing next to him speaking in english and you could clearly see he was interpreting what his brother was saying. One was a marine, and the other a pro boxer and they were pretty rough around the edges. They werent being paid, they never asked for money, and they were only focused on the word of God and praying. It was amazing.
There is absolutely nothing mysterious about Biblical "tongues" - and there is only one type - when referring to something spoken, they are nothing more than real, rational language(s); usually, but not always, unknown to those listening to them, but always known by the speaker(s) - it’s their native language (in some cases, it is a language the speaker has learned). In contrast, the “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with. It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure. It is also interesting to note that any and all phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will _also_ govern their tongues-speech. Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically. Occasionally some speakers will use two or more subsets of phonemes to generate glossolalia, producing what, to them, sounds like two (or more) distinct “tongues languages”, thus claiming to be able to speak in “divers tongues”. There is absolutely _nothing_ that “tongues-speakers” are producing that cannot be explained in relatively simple linguistic terms. Conversely, when it comes to something spoken, there are absolutely _no_ Biblical references to “tongues” that do not refer to, and cannot be explained in light of, real rational language(s), though it may not be the explanation you want to hear, and it may be one which is radically different from what you believe, or were taught. _Nowhere in the Bible is modern tongues-speech advocated or evidenced._ “Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will. I'm not doubting or questioning the 'tongues experience'; glossolalia as the spiritual tool that it is, can be very powerful and, for many people, the experience is profound. As one commenter put it, “Speaking in tongues distracts the ego/analytical/conscious mind while leaving the subconscious (the heart) wide open to import the divine." Both the spiritual and physical benefits of using this tool are also well documented. Again though, it is important to note that this same statement can be made for virtually _any_ other culture that practices glossolalia. Religious and cultural differences aside, the glossolalia an Evenki Shaman in Siberia, a vodoun priestess in Togo and a Christian tongues-speaker in Alabama are producing are in no way different from each other. They’re all producing their glossolalia in the exact same way; they just have different explanations and beliefs as to why they’re doing it, and where it comes from. It is only in certain Christian denominations where is it construed as something it never was. ‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers. It is not xenoglossy, nor is it modern tongues-speech. ‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers.

I am so glad I found this video. My understanding of speaking in tongues was always from the perspective of the first instance. The ability to communicate with everyone at once so all could understand. So, when I see videos of people speaking gibberish, I was left thinking it was an act. Now I understand the second instance is biblical. Shows I have plenty more to learn about the word!
🤔 Makes sense now. Thank you, God for giving me the ability to hear, see and understand, even from distance. 💯 It's not gibberish, the actual language can be understood, but I couldn't understand why it was possible, but know it doesn't stop there. There's understanding of that which travels from past, and to be. 💕
I had a desire to receive this gift, to be able to talk to God without my enemy hearing my words. God directed me to a church that believed in the operation of all the gifts of the Spirit. Pentecostal Church. And I tarried for it and received it from the Laying on of hands. It was to be the first time like baby talk as I was encouraged to keep going and with the fire of the Holy Spirit I did. When I left to go home and was shy to try I always started off in worship and then I would slip into tongues because I worship with understanding and truth. Over the years it has refined just like from a baby to a child's language would to and adults. I can hear 3-4 different languages or dialects. One for worship, another for sorrow or lament , another for communing and one that is Prophetic that I am to share .
Im so happy Cliffe said it as it is….. there are no other tongues. Some Christians today think they can talk in tongues but yet there are no interpreters. God will send an interpreter if needed, if HE feels that here is a person that needs to speek in tongues HE WILL send an interpreter!!!!!!!!!
@@Mary-kg2xi yes i have, but also, you have to read the chapter before and after to understand the whole concept. Ive studied these chapters back and forth many times. Reread chapter 14 from the beginning at least for better context. When you prophesy “you’re speaking in tongues” prophecy is to encourage others so you need an interpreter for that, otherwise noone will know what you’re saying. But also when holy spirit gives the gift of tongues we can also pray to receive the gift of translation, thats why Apostle Paul writes to “desire the gifts” the last 4 verses in this chapter are the most important ones. Theres also speaking in tongues as personal mystery language between you and God, thats for personal prayer time which you don’t need a translator for because the Spirit knows how to speak with God. But it depends if your church believes in quiet prayer or out loud prayer. Not to say that praying in tongues from the pulpit is a wise thing to do. I don’t believe its biblically correct but it’s also not demonic. Id like to explain more of my position but its too much writing. People not only have to read the bible to argue with others but to actually study verse by verse and then draw big picture and understand the concept of the time it was written in, etc.
@@Mary-kg2xi of course it can be the speaker. I was referring to this initial comment. Praying from the pulpit without translation is not wise but it’s not demonic. We have to be very careful to call things demonic, maybe instead educated or refer people to the bible.
WHEN YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES IT'S NOT THE LORD GOD SPEAKING THROUGH YOU IT'S YOUR SPIRIT SPEAKING TO THE LORD GOD .... WHO TAUGHT YOU THAT,....??? ASK YOURSELF WHY WOULD GOD SPEAK THROUGH YOU IN GIBBERISH.....???? YOU'VE MISREAD THE BIBLE. THAT IS A SPIRITUAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND THE LORD GOD ... THE DEMONS CAN INTERPRET IT. AND VERY UNLIKELY YOU'LL BE AROUND ANYBODY THAT COULD INTERPRET IT SPIRITUAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN YOU AND THE LORD. IF YOU WERE IN A BIBLE STUDY PRAYER GROUP AND EVERYBODY WAS JUST PRAYING OUT LOUD , AND YOU WERE GIVEN A SPIRITUAL UTTERANCE , THERE MAY BE SOMEONE THEIR TO INTERPRET IT. BUT INTRUDERS IN MY 50 YEARS I HAVE NEVER BEEN ANYWHERE WHERE I'VE HEARD ANYBODY SPEAK IN TONGUES AND ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL INTERPRETED IT.... FURTHERMORE VERY UNLIKELY TRUST OR BELIEVE A RANDOM PERSON INTERPRETING ANOTHER PERSON'S SPEAKING IN TONGUES ....
I've only heard it once when people were praying over me at a healing service but I had no idea what they were saying or praying. Personally, I believe the Holy Spirit gives some people this gift but as stated in Scripture if there's no one to interpret the tongue being spoken then it is useless to those who only hear gibberish. Doesn't mean it's evil but it could be prayer from the speaker to God alone and isn't meant for the listeners. I find it very interesting but if I am never provided this gift from God then He has His reasons and perhaps it's not an appropriate gift for me. Frankly, I'm just grateful for every moment I have in this life as it is God giving me time to repent and follow Him even when I don't deserve any of His Mercy....He gives it anyway.... how awesome is that...
When I asked the Lord why I spoke to my sister in praying for her in tongues ( as the spirit gives utterance) when she doesn't understand it or there is not an interpreter. The Lord says so her spirit can catch on Fire 🔥. The Holy Spirit was trying to catch her Spirit on fire with what was prayed and spoken over her. But all things can only come about by Believing or faith. Right. Janes says a double minded person cannot receive anything from God. One must believe to receive. Ask the Lord why in prayer you have not received this gift. He will assuredly answer you with a thought or audible. Wisdom cries out in the street, Proverbs says. So wisdom is audible meaning we can hear it. In Isaiah he says he will tells us to 'turn to the right and to the left " He will guide us audibly and Jesus said my sheep Hear my voice and another voice they will not hear. Learn to hear the voice of the Lord as he instructs and guides you.
@lowercasepeople49 God does not ask us to speak or pray in a language nobody knows outloud to Him. We can pray within our minds becausehe knows not just our every thought but our intentions as well. So I stand by my comment that language between human beings that neither understand is utterly useless.
1 Corinthians 14:2 KJV For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. If God allows a man to have such a gift, who are you to say it is useless just because you can't understand it? Or you know better than God now?

There are ministerial tongues: which are for the church. Exactly what you say... But there are devotional tongues that you speak during your own prayer sessions.

Most tongues is for talking directly to Father God. Needing an interpreter is for a certain corporate setting like prophesying to the church in tongues...an interpreter is needed. You can ask for the gift of interpretation over your own tongues when praying directly to our Father.
Finally… I’ve been saying this for years… and it’s not even relegated to human language, either! The gift of tongues can also allow a person to communicate with animals!
Whoa that's next level. And why not it comes from the creator. There was a vid of a man being chased by dogs and he went into tongues while getting away from them, they stopped bewildered and turned around ! The Power of the Almighty commanding his creation!

As an atheist who's interested in biblical history and theology and scholarship, from what i'm aware there is a passage in the end of Mark's gospel about speaking in tongues but that passage as you're probably aware wasn't in the earliest manuscripts and therefore was added much later. It's a textual variant. Speaking in tongues can be easily disproved as anything more than self-deception by recording it then playing it back to the person at a later date and asking them to translate it.
Trust me it really does, like im not even kidding you will not understand anything but for some had reason you feel something of confident and Truth like if there speaking from the heart its like the language is love. Thats only best way i can describe it
yeah because that what it sound like if you dont know it XD the point of tongues is so the devil cannot listen along he can understand every language except for the language of the holy spirit which is tongues. ive heard it, it sounds like gibberish to me but i know its a real language im just not blessed to understand it
@@frankwilliamk3769speaking bs gibberish isn't speaking in tongues. The bible is talking about actual REAL languages. Not random gibberish anyone can imitate.
Speaking in tongues is Biblical, There must not be an interpreter, and Paul never said such things. Paul said, he thanks God he speaks in tongue more than others, he also said he prays in tongues and also prays with understanding. When one speaks in tongue to address a congregation, to preach or pass a message, then there should be an interpreter, when you pray in the Holy Spirit in your closet, then you edify yourself, no interpreter is needed and it's not gibberish. The scripture must be preached balanced. Go ahead and pray in the Holy Spirit with faith, it's your prayer language, don't allow the enemy use subtilty to rob you of that. Speak the more. There have been occasions when while praying in the spirit, my eyes where opened to see someone about to commit suicide by jumping into the river, and prayed for him. There are also deep groanings which cannot be understood. Study the Bible for yourself and don't depend on human interpretation. The day of pentecost was just one incident, and is not enough to discard other biblical experiences. You must teach balanced. There "must" not be an interpreter, except when you're evangelizing or trying to pass a message in tongues, if you're praying, nobody should interpret what you're praying to your father about, it's not their business.
My understanding is that when a sermon is being preached within the midst of believers and unbelievers , hat is where an interpreter is required, but I also believe you can also pray in tongues without an interpreter in the place of your private prayer to God. Please correct me if I am wrong.
What about the third case Cliff? As described by Paul in 1Corinthians 14? " My spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful" A private prayer language. Paul makes this quite clear, but cessationists simply shut their eyes to it.
I was anointed with oil and prayed upon while having stage four cancer and afterwards someone asked me, didn't that scare you? the way they were speaking while praying for you.....

Pentecost is the reversal of the confusion of tongues during the Tower of Babel building. God allowed them to understand each other through the Holy Spirit and the main purpose was praise and worship of the One True God.

If that is true, thats neat.
There is zero Bible verses to support that made up. Foolishness
Amen
That is very powerful
1 Corinthians 14:28 (KJV) But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Key word at church.
praying in tongues privately is a blessing I didn't believe in tongues until I was baptized in the spirit and received the gift
Just wondering cuz I'm not sure, but by this verse does it mean we need an interpreter while speaking in tongues to a congregation as in the way a pastor preaches to the congregation or is it just talking about speaking in tongues in public? Because I can pray with just me and God in church or in public as I do at home
@@dannyjauregui2001 yeah you’re correct to pray in tongues whether it would be in church or at home. We have to understand what the Apostle Paul was addressing in the Corinthian church and he was addressing having order to the church rather than everyone just standing around speaking in tongues, in which the unbeliever could not be edified and leave confused as to such.
1 Corinthians 14:23 (KJV) If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
It’s also good to point out that it’s very possible for the entire church to just all be speaking in tongues as he was addressing, however, he was telling them to let everything be done and decency and in order. He does not forbid speaking in tongues, nor does not discourage it. However, he does express the need for both speaking in tongues and prophesying, which is essentially the edification to both the believers and unbelievers.
1 Corinthians 14:39-40 (KJV) 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Unknown tongues in the church isn’t some mystery language it’s just a language the church doesn’t speak… it would be like inviting a guest speaker that only knows Spanish to an English speaking church… no one knows what he’s saying but him and God.
@@Romans510Unknown tongues come with interpretation always.
I remember once I was watching a sermon. The pastor was talking about this verse. He said that once, him and some friends of his were invited to a church. During the sermon, someone suddenly stood up and started speaking "in tongues", another person stood up and started interpreting. One of the guys the pastor came with felt off about it. He had some knowledge of the Hebrew language, so he stood up and spoke a simple sentence. Some guy in the church stood up and "interpreted" what he said. It wasn't even close. The guy that spoke the Hebrew said that that was incorrect and stated what he had said. They all got up and decided to leave. Beware. Just because there is someone to speak and someone to interpret doesn't mean it was of the Holy Spirit.
What exactly does speaking in tongues mean
Yeah, most of the time it's people looking for attention
Speaking in tongues is a gift from the holy spirit but keep in mind it's one of the easiest gifts for satan to imitate . Anyone who is speaking an unknown language without an interpreter for GODs purpose you should assume it's not from the holy spirit. I know an example of someone who visited a church in which there was someone speaking in tongues in a foreign language of the pacific Islands. Being an islander and understanding what was being said it was apparent to him that the speaking in tongues was actually cursing GOD
This man was blaspheming the Holy Spirit..
Interrupting a sacred act which we all understood, out of a desire for praise, pride, and to continue his rule over the minds of the congregation.. this man was likely Enlil or one of his followers .
what gave the man the off feeling was probably the Holy Spirit I'm glad he tested them.
The most important tongue is confessing Jesus before men.
Thats Literally NOT what is being discussed here. Of course what you said is true, but if you lack understanding of this subject please read my main comment on this video.... Hope that helps.
That's the damn truth right there
Yes, Jesus before man. A Man before men.

I experienced this blessing once. I was in my early 20s and had recently been married. We were living with her family in Illinois and they were of Pentecostal faith. I had some experience as a Methodist in my early teen years. I remember my Mom took me around to different church denominations. She grew up in the 4 Square denomination and she remembered it was very strict.
On one the first times attending in my wife’s church, we sat in the back of the church. Near the end of service the pastor asked everyone to come forward to pray for one of the partitioners. We all moved forward down the aisle to as close as we could get. The Pastor started to pray over this person and at some point he says, “And GOD told me to pray for you!”. He said this as he pointed his finger right between my eyes. He might as well have shot me with a gun as I looked him square in the eye when his booming voice rang those words out.
For someone who hasn’t experience that it is hard to communicate what happened to me. It was as if I had instantly passed out. I felt like I was at the feet of Christ. In my mind I was as low as I could be in front of Jesus and it felt as if I was singing praises to Him. I was at complete peace to the point I didn’t want to return to this world. Somehow, the rest of the parishioners brought me to the front of the church and they were all praying for me. I came to shortly after this in complete bewilderment to what had happened to me. The entire church told me I had spoke in tongues. I had never seen anyone speak in tongues before. All I knew was it was real what happened to me.
My life with my then wife, was short lived. We ended up getting an annulment against my wishes, but there was some infidelity on her part and I was willing to forgive her, but she was unreconcilable.
I went through many ups and downs in my faith ride, God preparing me for what He wanted for me.
I now attend a non-denominational church that speaks from the Bible scriptures. I love my church and now serve in the capacity of a youth leader for grades k-5. I absolutely love Gods Children and through my Air Force experience as an instructor, He uses me to preach to them. I can’t wait to be with them each Sunday. It is the highlight of my week.
What I experienced with Speaking in tongues was real and I would not change that experience one iota.
Praise God Almighty and may we all find our special gifts and use them to Glorify Jesus’ Holy name!
I lift each of you up and pray for our country to return to following Jesus.
I pray all this in Jesus Holy and precious Name! Amen and Amen.
Amen!
Wow powerful 😊
@randypendleton
We see many non-denominational churches springing up everywhere. Nothing wrong with that except that they should encourage the speaking of tongues among believers.
Speaking in tongues in our private time builds up our faith and help us in our spiritual journey against devices of the enemies.
God Bless you!
@@huios974 Speaking in tongues is a gift from God. Not something that can be invoked or practiced. It isn’t a language spoken between peoples or even understood by people. It is a state in which a person is in God’s presence.
Many people have truly experienced this rare occurrence and want that state of peace to happen again, but it isn’t something we can turn on or do outside of God’s intervention.
May God continue to richly bless you and yours. 🙏🙏🙏
@@randypendleton2529 speaking in tongues is a gift from God and we are to ask for it.
In Luke it says if a child ask the father for a fish, the father will not give him a snake…. and if we ask the Father for Holy Spirit, He will not deny us.
I was taught in church to start babling but in one deliverance conducted by a prophetess, the tongue from God just came on.
I have heard testimonies of Catholics encountering God and was given tongue right away. If tongue does no benefit I see no necessity for God to give it to us.
You have encountered it before. I encourage you to bring it back and continue practising. Perhaps one day God will use you to bring change to your church.
God Bless!
Tongues and interpretations of tongues are real. I have experienced them many many times and it is a wonderful beautiful gift given to the body of Christ for the edification and for the comfort of the church. It is also a wonderful dynamic way to pray in private.
Thank you for this excellent comment. Ps, your posts mean soooo much to me.
Yes, in private- not in the presence of strangers and in the open- unless the interpretation is given
Yes. If there are no interpreters, you must do that in private. If done in public, there must be an interpreter.
Where does it say that we'll speak in tongues while praying?
Since that's not the purpose. It's being done by God's Power not ours.
Tongues are a SIGN for Israel.. and Israel is set aside right now.. and tongues are not happening today. Period.
There appears to be a 3rd as well. Paul said that when we speak to ourselves and to God, we speak mysteries there appears to be a tongues that is given to some that can be between just them and God.
Absolutely right!!!
Most tongues is for talking directly to Father God. Needing an interpreter is for a certain corporate setting like prophesying to the church in tongues...an interpreter is needed. You can ask for the gift of interpretation over your own tongues when praying directly to our Father.
Well this guy doesn't about this part 😂
You are blessed of the Lord ❤
@@lightshine6851can you copy and paste this comment alone. More ppl need to see this comment!! 🎯
I've been in the Church my entire life and it is rare that there is interpretation of unknown tongues. When sincere questions are raised those who speak in tongues get defensive. That is not the way it should be.
Sometimes the interpreter does not come forward. Perhaps lack of faith or doubting what was said .
It is mans fault for not being obedient to interpret.
I know I am guilty of not interpreting what I know I heard for fear of reactions and doubt.
That's because tongues is a gift and can't be taught. Also some speak in gibberish and call it tongues. Guys like Daniel Adam's, Isiah Salvador etc
Logic suggests it's because it's nonsense
I know someone who many years ago went to a charismatic service and was horrified to hear a person near him cursing God in Hungarian. Beware!
@angelstar
Indeed interpretation of tongue is rare. Therefore we should refrain from doing it publicly unless prompted by the Holy Spirit.
Speaking in tongue should be done in private as Paul teaches and as often as possible because it edifies our spiritman
I witnessed my 13 year old brother speak it😊 I was 11 and was shocked and surprised. He remembered not...so now I'm sure it was God speaking to me through my brother. I remember like it was yesterday...thank you God for showing yourself to me that glorious day...
Did you understand what he was saying?
@turtleneckferret it was God's words talking to the spirit...it was truly amazing. I'm 52 now and remember like yesterday. And nothing anyone says will convince me other wise...God bless and have a great life:)

My old church, a woman who knows nothing of the Chinese language. Stood up and spoke to a woman who did and it helped that woman, whatever was said
Exactly, the Chinese lady understood what the other lady said. But if someone speaks in tongues and you don't understand the meaning, then it is not from the Holy Spirit.

@@anniegrigoriyan7905 it says, why is this so difficult to understand?, if you speak in a tongue that no one is there to understand or translate for all the others in attendance, stay silent. That simple. In otherwords, when you are doing the shabballabalka bulk, do not speak it aloud if no one there understands what you are saying. This is not saying it is not of the spirit, though it does warn there are other spirits that can do this to you, to be silent for it only causes confusion and may lead another to not stay around to hear the preached word for they may think you insane and will flee. Good reasons.
@stevendoty9408 That's not what he says in the video at all. If you start speaking tongues and there's no one able to understand or translate what you are saying, then your words are not from the Holy Spirit.
Meaning that there are people but no one understands what you say again emphasis in NO ONE, he didn't even mention once to be silent.
I think you didn't understand the context of the video.
We must “exercise” this daily as such should be saved. It’s a supernatural experience. It saved me and has kept me. It’s my LIFE LINE with the ONE true living God. Do I do it daily, ? No, I strive for it though. It’s overwhelming to tap into that type of worship and praise to The Almighty. Pray in tongues ❤
I just literally love cliffe. He's so humble and breaks things down so we can understand and accept the word. He's been such a huge part of my religious grasp and growth. Thank you so much. Truly ❤
Except he’s never spoken in tongues before so how would he know?
In the Bible Paul refers to speaking in tongues as crossing language barriers to communicate the message of God to others. God is not a God of confusion and the truly spiritual can control themselves through the grace of God. If the Holy Spirit is present there is always peace and clarity, not confusion. God always wants us to understand, that’s why we should always be wary of participating in behaviors where unclarity dwells. Why do we need to speak in an unknown language to God when He already dwells in us and understands us more than we do ourselves?
Spot on! Amen!
Exactly.
I know someone who went to a charismatic service many years ago; he was horrified when the person near him suddenly began yelling & cursing at God in Hungarian.
@@deedees12 Correct, we should trust in God always, but this is not an excuse to take His words out of context. For ex. the verses following Acts 2:4 explain how the multitudes were amazed that they could understand the disciples preaching the wonderful works of God in their own native tongue (Acts 2:5-12). The disciples were not speaking an unknown language, but existing ones that people could understand, about the works of God. If Martin Luther headed the verse you referenced, I don’t you think there would be so many different ideologies about God’s Word.
perfect explaination ❤
Check out Spirit and Truth Fellowship Internatiinal. Their understanding and accuracy is excellent! Their Revised English Version is excellent. They are outstanding in research, heart and teaching, very humble and kind in the love of God. Excellent books and videos, not after money or fame, sincerity in the spirit and love of God. John Schoenheit the founder has incredible insight and understanding of the Biblical languages and culture, as well as the manifestations of holy spirit! I have experience and study since 1975 onwards, so I am not a neophyte.
In Acts 2 they spoke in tongues of fire and God gave the multitude the ability to hear it in their own language. The disciples did not speak in their languages. You cannot speak in four different languages at the same time. They spoken in tongues, but the people heard it in their own language by way of the Holy spirit. This is why they were so amazed and this is why 3,000 came to know Christ that day.
Amen!
Yes exactly and because every single person at the same time understood each other and understood what was being conveyed it's 100% likely that it was telepathy just like in the "UFO" community no believe them because those beings are demons or fallen angelic beings

This is an inaccurate statement. The apostles spoke. Everyone heard in their own language. According to that text, they spoken every language. No one heard anything other than their own language come from the apostles. Making a case for anything else would be false.
@@ai4cmvnmt62exactly.
Probably should go into more detail on the last part he spoke “if there’s a break down there …”
It says there is a speaker and an interpreter. If there is a breakdown, i.e., no interpreter, then the tongue isn't from God.
There's a full video
I was left with the suspense but then analyzing the need for an interpreter makes it absolutely clear that when their is one and not the second of the mandatory pair it is not of GOD. The number of experiences with a single person breaks my hesrt.
TBITP, AIATC
I was thinking about that. A lot of churches have members who don’t believe in speaking in tongues, so doing so in a church service like that is probably a nonstarter. But if you were in a group of people who do speak in tongues, and who have been praying for the gift of interpretation, then I think it would be OK for people to do a trial run. To speak in tongues, and ask if anyone understood it. If no one really understands it, that’s a sign that it should just be a private prayer language or that you need to keep praying for someone to interpret and test it out periodically. But you need to be fairly Sure of the integrity and honesty of anyone who says that they can interpret. There are literally Satanists, who infiltrate churches just to screw them up. It’s like one of their jobs.
I speak in tongues quite often and that is when God reveals things of life to me.
Quite often when I am stressed it will just flow out of me automatically.
TONGUES IS SUPERNATURAL AND VERY REAL AND SCRIPTURAL.

I’ve noticed when the Holy Spirit really wants to express itself the person will speak literal tongues to God and at that point my experience of speaking tongues, it is the Holy Spirit living in me directly communicating to Almighty God🙏🏼
That has been my experience. I was so elated. I had spoke in tongues many years ago only for a minute. But the other day I was listening to David Hernandez and I sowed a seed and started praying and God moved and gave Me the gift of Tongues that same day I was baptized in My landlord bathtub she’s been a believer Her whole life and is the most precious thing ever. She heard my crying and speaking in tongues and came to edify and ask me if I wanted to get baptized. I said Yes but when . She said right now. It was such a BLESSING I WAITED OVER 20 years for the gift of tongues. Don’t tell Me it’s not real. ♥️🛐☦️🕊️
And that is not from the natural mind, it’s the spirit praying perfectly to the Father 🙌
I think a lot of people fake it, but I have experienced it.
1. Ask God to baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
2. Speak the tongue that He has given you.
3. Speak or pray without ceasing. (1 Thes 5:17)
The sign is you can do it without ceasing.
Tongues is a gift. Just because you have the holy spirit does not mean you have the gift of Tongues necessarily.
@@assadmahmout4360the Bible talks about diversity in tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:28 Acts 2 All who were gathered in the upper room prayed in Tongues. God gives liberally to those who ask.

i was 8 or 9 then and a year or two after that i fell away from God but now I'm back but I'm only able to say a few things and that's it. but i still pray and use it and i have got some back but that's it.

I became an adult believer in JESUS CHRIST while serving in The British Airborne, I heard The Gospel and believed and received, that was 1984, in 1993 I heard the Gospel being preached in Ipswich, I felt The Holy Spirit telling me to go forward for prayer, I did and spoke with an elderly lady, we went and sat down in the coach and the leader came over too, they prayed for me, the lady stood behind me with her hands above my head either side, they both went into other tongues, we said our goodbyes and I left, in my car on my way home Suddenly I was absolutely filled with The Holy Spirit from Above, JESUS Was sitting next to me and 2 Angels in the back The Whole car was Glorious! I was filled from head to toe and as it came up again like a wave out of my mouth came The most powerful tongue and then what felt like 30 seconds into English ~ I was worshipping in The Spirit The Father The Son & The Holy Spirit and I am a son of GOD.
Awesome! Out of this world.

There is another kind of tongues, in Roman’s 8:26 & 27, there’s a mention of the Holy Spirit interceding on our behalf with groaning too emotional for words that is according to the will of God. This is prayer in tongues that is meant to edify us when we are lowly as well as pray out Gods perfect will when we might not know exactly what it is.
Amen
Groaning is not the same as speaking
@@_Kroaken_ the word groaning is used there because the sounds aren’t understood by our earthly languages.
Exactly! So tongues is not in one dimension only.
Acts 19:1-6, was there any interpretation?
To be clear, there must be an interpreter present when speaking in tongues or a prayer language to a congregation or assembly so that all can know what exhalation the person speaking is giving.
We can still and should still speak in tongue or a prayer language in our private time with the Lord and the Holy Spirit because God knows what we are saying so we don’t need an interpreter.
Sometimes our spirit just needs to communicate with the Holy Spirit and we need to surrender our tongue and vocal cords to him in private.
Check the wording in 1 Cor 14:13 about interpret. The person himself, herself can interpret.

1 Corinthians 13:8-10
”The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers. If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God. For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,“

There was a couple and one was sick ( hospitalized for years ) and they were revered in the church. And this was a Bible believing and operating in all the gifts church.
We were praying in tongues over the wife for her husband.
And I heard clearly the Lord say I will not heal him. Whew. I was not about to tell them that so I said nothing. They so earnestly wanted God to do it and I was afraid I'd get rebuked if I told them what I heard in the Spirit as I interpreted someone's tongue.
I was also healed at this church from the laying on of hands and the praying in tongues. From an issue of blood that later I learned it was from fibroids.
He was not healed as far as I know.
But it is very powerful prayer language and one of the gifts of the Spirit.
I can easily go into the language when I am worshipping and in normal prayer.
I am talk in the language that changes in dialects to me it's like 3 or 4. My mind prays in English and my mouth speaks in tongues. Even I can interpret the utterances that can not be touched with human words. Its like a direct speed dial to the very Throne of God.
We all can reach the throne through sincere contrite prayer.
It's like moving water and tunnel of living water straight to Heavens throne.
But of all the gifts Paul warned us to make love the most important one. Love is the supreme gift.
I meant * I am able to take in the prayer language and it's in 3-4 different dialects or languages that I've heard over the years and they appear to be ones of lament, worship, praise and just communing.
I love the Lord!
Once I was praying for my sister who does not speak in tongues. I stayed off in English and went into tongues and after the call. I asked the Lord why did I speak in tongues to hear and she could not interpret or understand.
He replied " so that she could catch on 🔥 fire in her Spirit.
Ugh these typos. * Talk not take and * started off in English
The point is... God gave this miraculous gift so people could understand the Gospel. It does no good for people to get up and say: "ako lala shemma abutept" and "yabba dabba do" in worship services. That is NOT tongues, that is mere lip service, people making up words, copying what they grew up watching, and putting on a show.
Exactly! I have seen this many times during Pentecostal services and I’m so embarrassed for these people who are faking-especially the preacher! It’s almost as if they encourage the parishioners to fake it just so though their religion can stand out as The Only True And Original Church-they constantly tell people that when questioned about speaking in tongues. The young kids cry when baptized into the Pentecostal church cuz they can’t speak in tongues but know they must to belong. I have seen them cry and just spat out gibberish cuz they feel like they have to. When I asked a teenager who left that church if she really spoke in tongues, she said no, but you can’t belong to the “cult” if you don’t drink the kool aide. It’s a total hoax!
Excellent and accurate explanation.
All the kids in my neighborhood used to come to Church with me every Sunday, because they thought the people were speaking French and it sounded so beautiful to them. I told them the first one stands up to give us a message from God, and the second one stands up to tell us what He said in the language we understand.
Those kids are probably grandparents by now.

3. Edification - When a person speaks in another language, he helps himself grow. My grandmother had tongues when she was a child she didn’t know what it was - when you pray in Tongues continually you pray Gods will without your brain getting in the way - you pray the perfect will of God / if you don’t pray your robbing yourself of praying Gods will into your life - you can also be praying the perfect will through Holy Ghost for others or even nations countries
I used to pray while driving my car - the car became hosting His presence - non Christian’s were impacted when they hopped into my car

1 Corinthians also says that the Holy Spirit will give out the spiritual gifts, like speaking in tongues, as He pleases. We don't get to choose our gifts, like most think in the Pentecostal movement believes.
Notice how the pastor says that speaking in tongues is other languages, not just babbling incoherently. The Corinthians thought the same thing, but Paul had to give write a letter telling them how it's done.
You're partially correct because Paul was actually speaking about the gift of tongues interpretation he was not talking about tongues as a personal prayer language he was talking about it used in a public setting a gifting that we can all ask for and not everybody receives this gift but we can all be filled with the Holy Spirit the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues with a personal prayer language to the Lord now if you're a specialty gifted in tongues and interpretation that's a whole other thing but please understand there's a separation of the two things so don't disqualify yourself or other people from receiving a gift that's actually for everybody because in the book of Acts it says they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they all began to speak with other tongues in their own personal prayer languages it was not an electric thing it's not a leadership thing it's not a specialty holy thing it's a individual gift that's there for everybody as your personal prayer language not to be confused with the special elect gift of tongues and interpretation where you are correct on that one point but just wanted to point out the differences between the two there
@@3SonsRC please provide scriptural evidence that there is a difference between the spiritual gift and the prayer language. Since I became a believer, I have never spoke in tongues. Other believers have insinuated that I'm not doing it right. They said that I should pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give it to me, just because I want it. I only want what the Father wants for my life. Nor should I covet or envy what other people have. And this is what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me.
There are three occasions in the book of Acts where speaking in tongues accompanied the receiving of the Holy Spirit-Acts 2:4, 10:44-46, and 19:6. However, these three occasions are the only places in the Bible where speaking in tongues is an evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit. Throughout the book of Acts, thousands of people believe in Jesus and nothing is said about them speaking in tongues (Acts 2:41, 8:5-25, 16:31-34, 21:20). Nowhere in the New Testament is it taught that speaking in tongues is the only evidence that a person has received the Holy Spirit. In fact, the New Testament teaches the opposite. We are told that every believer in Christ has the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 1:13-14), but not every believer speaks in tongues (1 Corinthians 12:29-31).
@@JayBee-JB69 to be fair bro you seem like a pretty smart guy and a student of the word so all you have to do is Google any scriptures talking about tongues you'll see in Corinthians many times Paul talks about groanings that cannot be uttered or understood by your natural man that's talking about your natural prayer language and there's plenty of other places but nobody has the time to go through a theological debate here on UA-cam just keep going and asking the holy spirit for Revelation read books on it about the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a prayer language and as the gift and interpretations there is a difference and some of what people have been telling you is actually accurate it is a gift for any believer but you do have to reach out in faith and take it
@@JayBee-JB69 and to put it very simply and this is absolutely not to brag but I have prayed for by the gift of God for hundreds of people get to get filled with the Holy Spirit and the simplest way to explain it, is it's a faith move, you have to open your mouth and speak it by faith as the Holy Spirit fills your mouth just like you receive salvation it's a gift of God for anybody, but you have to believe it in your heart and confess with your mouth, you have to open your mouth but it's faith, it takes some Measure of Faith to at least start to speak in tongues, it's not mind control it's not mental manipulation but the holy spirit will help you as you open your mouth and begin to speak it, it's the same thing with prophecy, many times with a prophetic word as someone speaks a prophetic word or a word of knowledge someone might get one word or a phrase and when they begin to speak those words the holy spirit will give them many more words but they have to start speaking by faith, faith is how the kingdom operates..... good luck on your journey brother
Pray to God for everyone of his followers. Not all Christians have received tongues and I am one. If it is to happen I will not fake it. I’ve felt Gods overwhelming Love on me like a wave of warmth and tears pour from my eyes…but I did not speak out loud in tongues. God loves you if you’re reading this. Pray for me, them, and you. Jesus is the truth.
YES if a person got up to speak in tongues to address the assembly in the place where they're gathering then there must be an interpretation at that time. We do have a prayer language (TONGUES) #NOT GIBBERISH that's between you & GOD. THERE'S tongue when a person speaks eg. indi spanish polish etc for a specific person or nation. I've seen a prophetess spoken in indi she's not indian she recognized it's indi but knew not what she said but was able to interpret under the ANOINTING HOLY SPIRIT, that person she was speaking to wasn't indian BUT it was the grand mother that was indian #BOOK OF ACTS #GOD IS BIGGER THAN WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO SAY HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS #HE IS‼️
That's right Different types of tongues
Hallelujah when I received the gift of the Holy Spirit and I spoke in many languages it was Amazing and I was shocked and crying and of course I also have my prayer tongue praise Jesus
I can interpret tongue. Each word produces a vivid pic in my mind that I'm able to describe. It's amazing
Wow

@@EthanStrick There is a form of godliness that denies the power of the spirit. Or so Paul says. Be careful.
The Feast of Pentacost was a gathering of Jews throughout the world. The Holy Spirit came upon the Jewish leaders of the day to communicate what God wanted the Jews who spoke different languages. Those leaders communicated what God wanted all these Jews to know about God
I interpreted toungs before. It was pure understanding that defied English.
I felt, saw and heard with a perfect understanding of intent. It came with scripture testifying of Christ
I received the Holy Spirit baptism in a divine way, in a miraculous manner 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My testimony makes me weep
My jawbone opened up like elastic band a chunk of airmass gushed into my belly as I swallowed a mouthful of airmass.
Bababababa was the initial sounds my lips made....few minutes later I started speaking heavenly language.
My tongue speaking is unusual.
I speak in diverse tongues of violent quaking and shaking of hands, body , and head
As a skeptic, I think that the original Pentecost tongues seem like a sensible sort of miracle for the Holy Spirit to do. It achieves something practical and demonstrates something amazing to the eye-witnesses.
To what end would the Holy Spirit make a person speak gibberish? If he wants to convey a message, why not just inspire the interpreter directly? If the believers want to demonstrate something amazing (or actually cared if it was real or not), they would test it with experiments with multiple isolated interpreters.
Do not test the Lord
🤦🏻
There's tongues to edify oneself then there's tongues to be interpreted the ones to edify the enemy wants understand as it's a direct communication to God and it does edify and its your own prayer language
@luiscollazo5128 , is silent prayer not direct communication with God?
@bigdavexx1 silent prayer in the mind is the secret place. It's also communication between you and Him, and it's direct. "Anyone who speaks in tongues does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him, he utters mysteries, with his spirit." 1 Corinthians 14:5
Im in a very important phase of life,Please pray for me to achieve successful,this is very important for me, if i suceed in this project my life will change oh lord help me
My surname is Pentecost. My family are the only ones iv ever heard of. Im proud of my surname and thw history. Amen
Praying in tongues man is the most amazing feeling. Whatever the Holy Spirit is speaking through you, you really feel kinda drunk in the Holy Spirit. You will have this for yourself these prayers in tongues are like an incense to God they go straight to the thrown room!! God Rapha Adonai oh he’s so amazing thank you Jesus give George more Lord. Faith to faith and Glory to Glory in Jesus name! god blesss you!! Watch what God does if you start speaking in tongues and just step out and start praying for people. Watch I promise! It’s simple I feel the need to pray ,Back line up spine line up be healed in Jesus name whoever reads this and has back pain I command the back to be new 100% healed in the mighty name of Jesus we thank you and we thank you for it father God! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
On speed dial for sure.
I always imagine them ( the Father and the Son) leaning over their thrones to hear !
He made one mistake here, tongues were not given to communicate the gospel it was a sign given to the unbelievers to hear the wonderful works of God meaning Praise! Acts 2:11…Peter preached the gospel afterwards in his own tongue and people were cut at the heart to receive the truth.
In Greek there are 4 words for works: Ergon-most common, deeds or action
Praxis- practice-works performed
Dynamis - supernatural works- miracles
Mageleios - to magnify or praise.
Mageleios is only used 2 times in the New Testament and one of the times is in Acts 2:11 thus the speaking tongues was a praise given unto God. That is what speaking in tongues is a praise 99% of the time unless it’s a prophetic message needed to be interpreted.
One can speak heavenly or earthly languages in a true worship from the Spirit who is in you.
Even Paul said if you speak in tongues you do praise well but no one will understand what you are saying. In other words it’s awesome you’re praising but speak the gospel in words of understanding so people can make a decision for Christ.
Amem
Thank you for this cause I’ve been trying to figure out this question and this is the clearest answer I found thus far !
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's a prayer language
God speaks every language.
I’ve been a witness to the second example. We were in a prayer circle in a retreat with a priest giving us an intro to the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit and one of us started praying in tongues. It sounded just like gibberish to me, but one of my buddies was like “what do you mean? He was speaking in plain English” turns out it was a message specifically to him relevant to difficult situations in his own life.
Sure wish more people understood this ! So many confuse this gift with jiberish !
Speaking in heavenly tongues is real!!
@@LLolLmaNsjdhsushNo its not
@@LLolLmaNsjdhsush yes it is but there are rules ! Every gift is meant to glorify God

It is gibberish.
This is a very clear explanation of what scripture says about speaking in tongues. Once I asked a pastor that if I prayed and tried for years to manifest the gift of tongues, yet it just wouldn’t happen, was there something I didn’t know, or was I doing something wrong. His answer to me was, “it’s like a smile, you’ve got to fake it until you make it.” I thought to myself, “ok, that’s what people are doing when they redundantly repeat a set of gibberish words. But as for me, I will wait on the Lord to manifest this gift if there were ever a need for it. I’m not faking anything when it comes to God and my Savior Jesus Christ.”
Wow this was so wrong 😢how many believers out there are faking it?
Does not make sense that a interpreter would mean anything else than someone who can understand many languages. As his first point suggests. Than he does a 180 and says tongues mean an unknown langauge and the holy spirt makes another understand another private language to God?
Its not a interpreter for tongues in an unknown language, but an interpretor for a known language
Some time in the past, the Holy Spirit gave me a french term to speak to a french guy that worked with me, I am Afrikaans and still learning french so only knew like "The woman" "The man" "Hello" etc. The term, je suis avec toi, came up while we were speaking... It means "I am with you" but only in the way that Jesus says He is with us. The french guy believed in Christ so I was the vessel carrying a message from YHVH to him without even understanding the language myself
Happened to me before but I was not obedient to reply and I will next time if given another chance of obedience.
It was not French.
Thank you for your testimony.
The gift of a woven tongue is the ability speak to a crowd of different languages and everyone can understand it, not people speaking jiberish and need interpreter......
The truth will be spoken, Hallelujah ❤
Any Greek who knows Greek who can read Koine Greek knows that the word should be "languages" not "tongues", it's the same word and in the Greek it's clear it's referring to human language not "tongues" . . .whatever that means
in many langages tongue is a synonym for language. i mean the word tongue can have 2 meanings in many languages. 1 the physical muscle in your mouth
2 a language
i guess thats were it came from
@@frankwilliamk3769 if it was correctly translated then it would be clear that the Bible in every instance it is referring to "tongues" it is referring to understanding and communicating in different earthly languages. There is no "tongues" language that you see on UA-cam where people are making strange sounds
@Unknown987X Yes exactly, it is absolutely critical to know and to read the Greek otherwise you will be open to the interpretations and beholden to the interests of a person who does spend the time to learn it.
@@CP-my7qz wrong, youve been led astray by people faking tongues. there is a language called tongues that demons and the devil cannot understand. the bible doesnt lie. and it wasnt incorrectly translated
corinthians 14
6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching? 7 Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played? 8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? 9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without [a]significance. 11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a [b]foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me. 12 Even so you, since you are [c]zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the [d]edification of the church that you seek to excel.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding. 16 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say? 17 For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
therefore its clear such a language exists, also ive heard tongues spoken and translated and its always lining up with the bible. tonges is one of the gifts of the holy spirit
read the bible its all there

Ive only ever seen one person speak in tongues where I felt the holy spirit was present. His brother was standing next to him speaking in english and you could clearly see he was interpreting what his brother was saying. One was a marine, and the other a pro boxer and they were pretty rough around the edges. They werent being paid, they never asked for money, and they were only focused on the word of God and praying. It was amazing.
There is absolutely nothing mysterious about Biblical "tongues" - and there is only one type - when referring to something spoken, they are nothing more than real, rational language(s); usually, but not always, unknown to those listening to them, but always known by the speaker(s) - it’s their native language (in some cases, it is a language the speaker has learned).
In contrast, the “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with.
It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure. It is also interesting to note that any and all phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will _also_ govern their tongues-speech.
Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically.
Occasionally some speakers will use two or more subsets of phonemes to generate glossolalia, producing what, to them, sounds like two (or more) distinct “tongues languages”, thus claiming to be able to speak in “divers tongues”.
There is absolutely _nothing_ that “tongues-speakers” are producing that cannot be explained in relatively simple linguistic terms.
Conversely, when it comes to something spoken, there are absolutely _no_ Biblical references to “tongues” that do not refer to, and cannot be explained in light of, real rational language(s), though it may not be the explanation you want to hear, and it may be one which is radically different from what you believe, or were taught. _Nowhere in the Bible is modern tongues-speech advocated or evidenced._
“Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will.
I'm not doubting or questioning the 'tongues experience'; glossolalia as the spiritual tool that it is, can be very powerful and, for many people, the experience is profound. As one commenter put it, “Speaking in tongues distracts the ego/analytical/conscious mind while leaving the subconscious (the heart) wide open to import the divine." Both the spiritual and physical benefits of using this tool are also well documented. Again though, it is important to note that this same statement can be made for virtually _any_ other culture that practices glossolalia. Religious and cultural differences aside, the glossolalia an Evenki Shaman in Siberia, a vodoun priestess in Togo and a Christian tongues-speaker in Alabama are producing are in no way different from each other. They’re all producing their glossolalia in the exact same way; they just have different explanations and beliefs as to why they’re doing it, and where it comes from. It is only in certain Christian denominations where is it construed as something it never was.
‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers. It is not xenoglossy, nor is it modern tongues-speech.

I am so glad I found this video. My understanding of speaking in tongues was always from the perspective of the first instance. The ability to communicate with everyone at once so all could understand. So, when I see videos of people speaking gibberish, I was left thinking it was an act. Now I understand the second instance is biblical. Shows I have plenty more to learn about the word!
🤔 Makes sense now. Thank you, God for giving me the ability to hear, see and understand, even from distance. 💯 It's not gibberish, the actual language can be understood, but I couldn't understand why it was possible, but know it doesn't stop there. There's understanding of that which travels from past, and to be. 💕
I had a desire to receive this gift, to be able to talk to God without my enemy hearing my words.
God directed me to a church that believed in the operation of all the gifts of the Spirit. Pentecostal Church. And I tarried for it and received it from the Laying on of hands. It was to be the first time like baby talk as I was encouraged to keep going and with the fire of the Holy Spirit I did. When I left to go home and was shy to try I always started off in worship and then I would slip into tongues because I worship with understanding and truth. Over the years it has refined just like from a baby to a child's language would to and adults. I can hear 3-4 different languages or dialects.
One for worship, another for sorrow or lament , another for communing and one that is Prophetic that I am to share .
Im so happy Cliffe said it as it is….. there are no other tongues. Some Christians today think they can talk in tongues but yet there are no interpreters. God will send an interpreter if needed, if HE feels that here is a person that needs to speek in tongues HE WILL send an interpreter!!!!!!!!!
The tongues spoken in most churches is from Satan. They never have an interpreter
You best read your bible before making statements like this, careful not to accuse Holy Spirit of false things.
Check 1 Corinthians 14:13
@@Mary-kg2xi yes i have, but also, you have to read the chapter before and after to understand the whole concept. Ive studied these chapters back and forth many times. Reread chapter 14 from the beginning at least for better context.
When you prophesy “you’re speaking in tongues” prophecy is to encourage others so you need an interpreter for that, otherwise noone will know what you’re saying. But also when holy spirit gives the gift of tongues we can also pray to receive the gift of translation, thats why Apostle Paul writes to “desire the gifts” the last 4 verses in this chapter are the most important ones.
Theres also speaking in tongues as personal mystery language between you and God, thats for personal prayer time which you don’t need a translator for because the Spirit knows how to speak with God. But it depends if your church believes in quiet prayer or out loud prayer. Not to say that praying in tongues from the pulpit is a wise thing to do. I don’t believe its biblically correct but it’s also not demonic.
Id like to explain more of my position but its too much writing. People not only have to read the bible to argue with others but to actually study verse by verse and then draw big picture and understand the concept of the time it was written in, etc.
@@yanka1650 Context is king. I do read that for interpreting, it can be the speaker.
@@Mary-kg2xi of course it can be the speaker. I was referring to this initial comment. Praying from the pulpit without translation is not wise but it’s not demonic. We have to be very careful to call things demonic, maybe instead educated or refer people to the bible.
What about the 3rd point, when in Corinthians says when you use tongues in prayer you are speaking to God. Which is a powerful tool that we need.
Which verse is that?
When we speak in tongues it is God speaking through us.
WHEN YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES IT'S NOT THE LORD GOD SPEAKING THROUGH YOU IT'S YOUR SPIRIT SPEAKING TO THE LORD GOD ....

THAT IS A SPIRITUAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND THE LORD GOD ...
THE DEMONS CAN INTERPRET IT.
AND VERY UNLIKELY YOU'LL BE AROUND ANYBODY THAT COULD INTERPRET IT SPIRITUAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN YOU AND THE LORD.
IF YOU WERE IN A BIBLE STUDY PRAYER GROUP AND EVERYBODY WAS JUST PRAYING OUT LOUD , AND YOU WERE GIVEN A SPIRITUAL UTTERANCE , THERE MAY BE SOMEONE THEIR TO INTERPRET IT.
BUT INTRUDERS IN MY 50 YEARS I HAVE NEVER BEEN ANYWHERE WHERE I'VE HEARD ANYBODY SPEAK IN TONGUES AND ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL INTERPRETED IT....

1 corinthians chapter 14.It is also a good private prayer language ,praying the perfect will of God.
They spoke in Aramaic, yet they were understood by all.
No
I've only heard it once when people were praying over me at a healing service but I had no idea what they were saying or praying. Personally, I believe the Holy Spirit gives some people this gift but as stated in Scripture if there's no one to interpret the tongue being spoken then it is useless to those who only hear gibberish. Doesn't mean it's evil but it could be prayer from the speaker to God alone and isn't meant for the listeners. I find it very interesting but if I am never provided this gift from God then He has His reasons and perhaps it's not an appropriate gift for me. Frankly, I'm just grateful for every moment I have in this life as it is God giving me time to repent and follow Him even when I don't deserve any of His Mercy....He gives it anyway.... how awesome is that...
When I asked the Lord why I spoke to my sister in praying for her in tongues ( as the spirit gives utterance) when she doesn't understand it or there is not an interpreter.
The Lord says so her spirit can catch on Fire 🔥.
The Holy Spirit was trying to catch her Spirit on fire with what was prayed and spoken over her.
But all things can only come about by Believing or faith. Right.
Janes says a double minded person cannot receive anything from God.
One must believe to receive.
Ask the Lord why in prayer you have not received this gift.
He will assuredly answer you with a thought or audible.
Wisdom cries out in the street, Proverbs says.
So wisdom is audible meaning we can hear it.
In Isaiah he says he will tells us to 'turn to the right and to the left "
He will guide us audibly and Jesus said my sheep Hear my voice and another voice they will not hear.
Learn to hear the voice of the Lord as he instructs and guides you.

A language that nobody understands is useless. He had the first part right
Maybe people aren't always ehat tongues is about? Do you think God can discern what they speak?
@lowercasepeople49 God does not ask us to speak or pray in a language nobody knows outloud to Him. We can pray within our minds becausehe knows not just our every thought but our intentions as well. So I stand by my comment that language between human beings that neither understand is utterly useless.

As an atheist who's interested in biblical history and theology and scholarship, from what i'm aware there is a passage in the end of Mark's gospel about speaking in tongues but that passage as you're probably aware wasn't in the earliest manuscripts and therefore was added much later. It's a textual variant. Speaking in tongues can be easily disproved as anything more than self-deception by recording it then playing it back to the person at a later date and asking them to translate it.
Did she say gibberish?😮 🤦
Trust me it really does, like im not even kidding you will not understand anything but for some had reason you feel something of confident and Truth like if there speaking from the heart its like the language is love.

yeah because that what it sound like if you dont know it XD the point of tongues is so the devil cannot listen along he can understand every language except for the language of the holy spirit which is tongues. ive heard it, it sounds like gibberish to me but i know its a real language im just not blessed to understand it

Speaking in tongues is Biblical,
There must not be an interpreter, and Paul never said such things. Paul said, he thanks God he speaks in tongue more than others, he also said he prays in tongues and also prays with understanding.
When one speaks in tongue to address a congregation, to preach or pass a message, then there should be an interpreter, when you pray in the Holy Spirit in your closet, then you edify yourself, no interpreter is needed and it's not gibberish.
The scripture must be preached balanced.
Go ahead and pray in the Holy Spirit with faith, it's your prayer language, don't allow the enemy use subtilty to rob you of that. Speak the more.
There have been occasions when while praying in the spirit, my eyes where opened to see someone about to commit suicide by jumping into the river, and prayed for him.
There are also deep groanings which cannot be understood.
Study the Bible for yourself and don't depend on human interpretation.
The day of pentecost was just one incident, and is not enough to discard other biblical experiences. You must teach balanced.
There "must" not be an interpreter, except when you're evangelizing or trying to pass a message in tongues, if you're praying, nobody should interpret what you're praying to your father about, it's not their business.
This is what I said
It's funny how we have so many people speaking in tongues today, yet no one ever just starts speaking in a language they didn't know before 🤔
