God knows what you ought to pray for before you even start praying. So why then do u even have to speak in tongues??? Does it benefit the guy beside u? Can he/she says AMEN to your unknown shikirabababsahndaaba? Praying in spirit is not necessarily saying out a word/syllable. You can keep silent and pray in your heart and yet God still hears you! So now tell me how do the mute guys shall speak in tongues? Are they left out? Speaking in tongues means speaking in a known language!!! For all the language in the world, none is without meaning! Don't pray like the pagans! Speaking in tongues is not the greatest gift and you shall be eager for gift of prophesy.
Here’s my testimony with tongues: I attended church service Sunday, the pastor was praying over the entire congregation to make us speak in tongues. The whole service was literally worship & prayer to speak in tongues. I began to feel sad because I could hear and see many people saying words in tongues and being baptized in tongues. Unfortunately, I didn’t speak in tongues but I told Jesus, “I know when I am ready, you will bless me with speaking in tongues.” I went home. Prayed before bedtime and went to sleep. While sleeping, I got woken up by mumbling noises coming out of my mouth. My mouth literally woke me up. I awoke, conscience, my lips continued to speak and I could see them moving. So I got frightened, “am I possessed?” I thought. Suddenly I felt Gods voice saying “Now get on ur knees and pray” as if this was the way for me to find out what was going on. Mind u, the whole time my lips continued moving and these words kept flowing out. I started praying. I felt the fire of the Holy Ghost. That’s when my heart leaped for joy because I knew it was TONGUES that I was speaking 😁 But there was this particular word that I kept repeating. I grabbed my blackberry (that’s how long it was ) and looked up that particular word in my phone. When I read the definition. It blew my mind 😮, it said something like: TO GIVE JOY AND PRAISE TO GOD. TO FILL GOD WITH JOY. ✝️ Now it’s been so long that I can’t remember the word. But the other day I heard someone say “MASHA ALLAH” and that sounds similar to the word I kept repeating in tongues. Moral to the story ❤Be patient my dear brothers and sisters. When ur time is right, it will come. Be ready and when u start to speak in tongues, continue to practice them so they become stronger ❤
@@anchi86b wow! that’s amazing to hear u had the same experience as me. ☺️ And yes, that word is used in Islam. Regardless, we have an awesome mysterious God. I don’t question his works. He is who he is. And Blessings to you brother! I know people who have been in the church for years and can’t speak in tongues. What a gift! ❤️ God Bless You
❤🙏✝️ I observed individuals practicing this on television and in church. Initially, I believed they were simply fabricating it, and I couldn't relate to it. However, one day while I was engrossed in reading the Bible at home, I began praying and suddenly, I experienced the overwhelming presence of the Holy Spirit. Without pause, I found myself speaking in tongues, overcome with a mixture of loud cries and tears. Although it felt like an extended period, it was merely a duration of 10 minutes. I was utterly drained and depleted of energy when it was over. My hope and prayer is that you, too, will encounter the holy Spirit and have the privilege of speaking in tongues. May God bless all of you! 😮😮
@@franzlisztbatayola9235yes it builds you up spiritually and is the Spirit praying for his perfect will to be done in your life. It’s an intemate thing that only God can understand when it’s in mysteries not other languages
Agreed. Every Christian can be filled with the Spirit and therefore speak in tongues, but ultimately it is up to the believer. Just as salvation is a choice, so is this.
When i prayed and was filled with the Holy Spirit i had to surrender my tongue to the Spirit so that He could scripturally confirm that i had recieved the Holy Spirit.( I simply opened my mouth, after i had been filled,and relaxed my tongue. After a short time i became aware if the Holy Spirit seizing control of my tongue and i immediately began to speak in this spirirual language, that in English, we call "tongues". Recieving the Holy Spirit is so important to our salvation that God has given us this sign to confirm that it has occured. I could easily have believed that i had recieved when i had been filled and would have been wrong.
I had waited or received the anointing of the Holy spirit and the gift of speaking in tongues at the age of 17-18 (since the day I was born) now I'm 24
Nawadays all tonges are nonsense, , why are they the same every day??if they were true then they will be different since you dont pray the same message all times
@@norahk6587 Speaking in tongues is speaking in one spiritual language so its natural that it would sound the same. Psul calls it the unknown tongue that" no man knows" 1Cor.14:2. If no man knows it then its not a language nstive to this world. Paul calls it praying in the spirit. When we pray in our native language it is source us our mind. But when we pray in our spiritual language its source is our spirit. Psul also said "when i pray in an unkown tongue my spirit prays but my understanding is unfruitful.."(1Cor.14:14) In other words Paul is saying that when hpe prays in this unknown langpuage he doesn't understsnd what he is saying. Its not necesssry that we undersand what we are saying because our spirit is praying through us and praying for what we really need prayer for because sometimes we don't know what we need to pray for.
Tongues are not learned or taught the Bible clearly says it’s a gift from God, when you are filled with fire of the Holy Ghost. A gift cannot be developed now it is possible your were desiring it for two hours and then all of a sudden you received it but it’s not something you start trying by repeating words until your tongue is released or developed this is a false doctrine that many preachers teach.
@elirodriguez514 You are right that the spiritual gift of tongues/the language isn't learned or taught. But when I was a teen, and asked for the gift of tongues, I first persevered in speaking syllables that came to my mind as a step of childlike faith. I don't believe those syllables were tongues, but God honoured the perseverance and suddenly, when I turned my focus away from myself and away from the sounds I was speaking and focussed on sincerely praying to the Lord for someone in my mind, a language began to flow from my spirit, nolonger from my mind. In this sense it was like the gift was released, I don't think that would be too inaccurate a phrase.
If u read the whole verse 1 corithians 14:5 it says there should be someone who can interpret so that the church can receive edifying same to 1 corithians 14: 27 but that doesnt happen in churches as we see today
There are 4 types of tongues my dear. One of it is tongues of interpretation that's requires and interpreter who can interpret the tongue, It's mostly prophetic. The others are public tongues which was manifested at the day of Pentecost where people started speaking tongues of different languages. The other is private tongue its heavenly language, where the Holy Spirit prays for you to strengthen you. The other is tongues of praise where you are praising God and singing in tongues for him.
When the bible mentions "speaking in tongues", it's talking about suddenly speaking in a KNOWN UNDERSTANDABLE LANGUAGE THAT THE PERSON HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY KNOWN BEFORE, NOT BLABBERING NONSENSE GIBBERISH. READ THE BOOK OF ACTS AND THE CONTEXT CONTEXT CONTEXT!!! The apostles were speaking in different tongues/languages they hadn't known before, by the power of the Spirit, to be able to preach to other people who didn't speak their language. Also remember that believers have different gifts, some can prophesy some can't, some have the gift of teaching some don't, some have the gift to be able to speak in tongues AND SOME DON'T, AND THAT'S OKAY!! As a Christian, I'm tired of pastors and other Christians babbling complete nonsense and saying it's the Holy Spirit. "For God is not the author of confusion [. . .]" - 1 Corinthians 14:33
There's praying in tongues (that is not a language man can understand, only God) and then there's being baptized with the holy spirit and speaking in tongues (technically not supposed to do unless someone is there to interpret). I forget where exactly it says everyone can and he wants us to, but it's there somewhere.
1 Corinthians chapters 12-14 is pretty much saying that there are different parts of the body that do different things for specific reasons, to edify each other. The eyes don't look at the ears with resentment because they can only hear or they feet being envious of the hands because they don't do all the walking etc. Pentecostal, Baptist etc are neither wrong or right persay, but are different from each other so we can edify each other and learn from each other. There are certain denominations and religions within christ that we definitely have to be aware of that accept heresy in their church, but for the most part there is really no wrong or right "denomination" pentecostal is definitely biblical Just as Baptist is❤
Where does the bible specifically say there are different TYPES of tongues as in gifts? It mentions diversity of tongues to be understood as different languages. You can pray in the spirit with your native language.
In 1 Cor 14, Paul speaks of tongues as being a spiritual gift (not referring to a natural ability) and describes the languages as our spirit praying to God while our mind is unfruitful. He says we should not only pray in the spirit, but also with our understanding. I pray in my native language in my mind when praying audibly in tongues (not native language), the language sometimes changes as I pray for different people and situations. I don't know for sure, of course, if what I'm praying with my spirit by the Holy Spirit correlates to what I'm praying in my mind.
@@upsidedownkingdom5263 Just so I am understanding your position correctly are you saying tongues is a heavenly language and that you understand what you're saying when you speak it?
@@dre5773 Thanks for asking for clarification, I need to learn the wisdom of doing the same! No, I meant that when I am praying in tongues my mind is unfruitful in regard to understanding the language. Similar to what Paul described. I am often, at the same time, praying in my own native language in my mind though. I don't think what I'm praying in my mind is an interpretation of the tongues. I don't know if the tongues I speak in prayer are heavenly languages or earthly ones, but they sound like earthly ones. What would a heavenly language sound like? I have no idea. Paul wrote of (at least hypothetically) speaking in the tongues of men and of angels. But since we don't know all the languages in the world how would we know if our tongue is an earthly one? I myself don't give messages in tongues in church, I don't get interpretations. I pray privately in tongues.
Amen 1 Corinthians 14 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Where in the Bible does it say: 1. There are different types of speaking in tongues; and this is how you recognize it. 2. If Paul is speaking of private usage of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, why does he say I want you to prophesy?
1. It is described in 1 Corinthians 14 (maybe also other places but I haven’t done extensive studying). I wouldn’t call it different “types” but more just different uses of speaking in tongues. Verse 5 kind of addresses both, by saying prophecy is greater than tongues (prayer use) unless there is an interpretation (edifying the body use). Verse 15 also talks about praying in the spirit I.e. tongues. Verse 28 also talks about the gift with interpretation but if no one can interpret, pray to God in tongues privately. 2. Paul is kinda going back and forth talking about private usage and public. Just depends on the context to know which. It is a kinda confusing chapter but when the lord blesses you with the gift of the Holy Spirit , it is the best thing ever! Literally solidified my faith and my walk with God when I first felt His presence fill me❤
@@hailey5672 @Hailey 1. What I mean by "types" is that there is an understanding here that there are 2 types of tongues: a. Foreign language that is unknown to the speaker but certainly a language that exists on Earth; and b. Language that is not spoken on Earth between creation, rather is a personal prayer language of man to God. I do not find the latter in the Bible. So, that's my query. 2. The same gift is to be used depending on the context. I am not disagreeing with the you on the application of this gift in church. I only have a problem with the interpretation of this one gift as two separate gifts.
@@JesusAlwaysIsGod ah sorry, I misunderstood. I can’t remember if there are more scriptures about it but 1 Corinthians 13:1 (NKJV) says “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.” To me, this verse is Paul saying there is an angelic kind of tongue. And maybe this is the same kind in chapter 14 verse 15 that I mentioned earlier when he contrasts praying in the spirit and praying in understanding. Praying in the spirit won’t be understood by human ears. I don’t think it’s 100% clear but the same Spirit is working. I heard an evangelist one tell about an experience he had in a church. A Jewish man visited the church and they asked people to come to the front and he did so out of respect, not because he connected with the message. They tried to explain to him that Jesus is the same God of the Old Testament, jehovah. And he said he would not believe it unless he heard God tell him in Hebrew. A moments later, a lady who did not know Hebrew was standing nearby I assume praying in tongues as normal but he heard her start saying something like “ I AM God and my name is Jesus” in perfect Hebrew. This man was shook and asked people if she knew Hebrew which she did not. He surrendered to Jesus in that moment though! All that to say, whether the speaker is speaking in an angelic tongue or an unknown language of men, God is at work and can use it for His own purpose. Wish I had more knowledge for you but that story was so beautiful to me how faithful our God is to move in that situation and give this man exactly what he asked 🙌
@@hailey5672 Scriptural clarity and method of scriptural interpretation matter. I am certain that we agree on this. Here is my understanding: Let's say, 1. I am in India attending a service in Hindi language. Nobody in attendance speaks any language but Hindi. 2. I can communicate in Hindi. But I also know English. Summary: If I pray in English, I am not understood by the congregation. Hence, it is more useful for me to speak 5 words in Hindi than preach 15 minutes in English- unless I have a translator. If I have a translator, my preaching in English can edify the church. Likewise, is the gift of tongues. Every gift of the Holy Spirit is for the good of the church- including the gift of tongues. The gift of tongues works along with the gift of interpretation to edify of the church. I do not deny that angels have a language. Angels do communicate after all... Our God speaks! He has always spoken! Praise God! However, I fail to see where it says in scripture that "we speak in angelic language when we speak in tongues"; or that "even the devil can not comprehend what we say when we speak in tongues (like one of my dear brothers once preached)". Hailey, I thank you for taking the time to reply to my message in love and truth. May the Lord bless you. May His peace dwell in your heart and His counsel guide you in all righteousness and truth.
@@hailey5672 I loved the experience you shared with me (regarding the Jewish man who asked for a sign). Scripture says that the gift of tongues is a sign for the unbeliever, and prophesy for the believer. Fascinating how God works! This is clearly in accordance with 1 Corinthians 14 : 22 - 25.
Dedicate your time to God Catherine by reading the word,praying and if you can fast as you pray and read the word God is faithful he will answer you, love the lord with your heart
Paul wanted all people to speak in tongues does not apply that all will. Nor does anything about that verse indicate that tongues is a prayer language.
There are a few things that I have very strong conviction over: one in particular is, when a man or preacher says; "I'm going to prophesy'' and then goes on to say something.. Now, I have read that God will tell the prophet to prophesy, but I do not see a prophet saying he is going to prophesy. The closest thing I see as far as that is, when the one sent by God says; ''Thus says the Lord.'' I fear and respect God too much to ever say, I'm going to prophesy.. And whenever I hear a "preacher" say that, he loses respect from me.. Am I wrong?
It's not a rhetorical question. If you read at the being on the chapter, you will find out that not all have the same gifts. He says that not all can speak in tongues, and not all can be prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:14-15 describes different utility for tongues when looked at in context. Not for edification of the put for prayer and worship - “pray in the Spirit” = tongues according to verse 14. Also later in verse 28 it mentions speaking in tongues to God privately
1 Corinthians 14:5 Paul KJV - “I SHOULD like all of you to speak in tongues…” NIV - “I WOULD like everyone of you to speak in tongues…” NASB - “I WISH that you all spoke in tongues…” ISV - “I WISH that all of you could speak in foreign languages…” NLT - “I WISH…” NKJV - “I WISH…” The Apostle Paul wishes (WISHES) all could speak in tongues, but just like he stated before, “The Holy Spirit decides who gets what” (that’s me paraphrasing) Pray for it. 🙏🏽
Did alot of people miss the fact he said you don’t need an interpreter for personal prayers????? Some of us speak in tongues as we pray to God. What part of it confuses the enemy are alot of people not understanding? This is one of those scriptures that people who really feel it is an embarrassment to speak in tongues just hold on to that one part when in fact it is all about the timing & purpose in which you speak them that determines if you need an interpreter. You can pray out loud your personal prayer using tongues instead of words. It is a gift from Jesus that He left as a part of Himself that He gave to us after His resurrection.
I had waited or received the anointing of the Holy spirit and the gift of speaking in tongues at the age of 17-18 (since the day I was born) now I'm 24
Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift, it’s a manifestation (one of 9) of Christ in a believer aka The Holy spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7) EVERY believer can do it. However there are gift ministries that are given to SOME believers (Ephesians 4:11-12) This is often taught erroneously when not rightly dividing the Word
No. That’s not what is being said. Paul was rebuking the Corinthians. He was saying that Prophecy is the true gift. Tongue speaking is nonsensical and does not glorify the church. It’s selfish and glorifies oneself.
I have no need for tongues. It is the least of all gifts, and too much confusion remains about the issue. It is a gift that Jannes and Jambres can mimic, and some denominations have prioritized the gift as if its necessary proof that one has been filled with the Spirit. It is a Laodicean gift (in this current age), in my opinion. I am content with the gifts God has given me, and if you are content with the gift of tongues, then to God be the glory.
Can believers request the gift of speaking in tongues from God? When should this gift be used? During a speaking to a group of people with different languages? Confused!
This is phrased weird. Yes, every Christian can but only by God’s grace. We can’t just access it on our own but by what God gives. So no, we can’t all speak in tongues
The NLT brings out the interpretation that seems to read from the context. Paul is simply highlighting that he is not against people speaking in tongues, and to drive the point home he expresses his wish that everyone would speak in tongues. 1 Corinthians 14 5 I wish you could all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you could all prophesy. It’s pretty clear from other passages that not everyone has the gift of tongues. I Corinthians 12 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit ……to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. He then goes on to say later in the chapter 30 Do we all have the gift of healing? Do we all have the ability to speak in unknown languages? Do we all have the ability to interpret unknown languages? Of course not! Drawing a distinction between what Paul says about tongues that are or are not interpreted seems artificial. In 1 Corinthians 14 Paul teaches 27 No more than two or three should speak in tongues. They must speak one at a time, and someone must interpret what they say. 28 But if no one is present who can interpret, they must be silent in your church meeting and speak in tongues to God privately. In other words, if there is no one present to interpret a tongue on a particular day then the person should just exercise their gift in private. There is no hint here that there is one tongue that is used in public and another in private tongue. Just that when exercised in public, the tongue should be interpreted.
I applaud the Pentecostal's eagerness to use the gifts. I think their theology gets a bit wonky at different points. The idea that everyone can speak in tongues easily leads to a sense of failure or people faking it when they don't get the gift. God is dishonoured when that happens.
There's no reason to speak In tongues, speak the gospel to where everyone understands it...other then that its gibberish..Speaking In tongues was for nonbelievers... He wants true Christ followers to share the gospel having faith in Jesus Christ
People in these comments use their intellectual about speak in tongues the bible says in 1Corinthians 14:14 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. . Nkjv If you pray in tongues you cannot understand what you are saying, your mind is unfruitful but your spirit prays to God. And only God can understands it in 1Corinthians 14:2.
God knows what you ought to pray for before you even start praying. So why then do u even have to speak in tongues??? Does it benefit the guy beside u?

"for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues," For the life of me, I don't see how people elevate tongues as THE ultimate gift of the Spirit. It is the most easily faked and misunderstood gift. And I Cor. 14:1-5 in context is about how prophesy and tongues (actually human languages) are for the edification of the church. It is not about a prayer language. Paul is saying that when someone speaks in tongues, the hearers won't understand a language that is foreign to them. This is where the gift of prophesy is important because the one who speaks in a tongue that is not understood, only God understands what is being said. So Paul says to seek to have understanding. That is all this context is conveying, not a secret prayer language.
Speaking in tongue. To my understanding is suppose to be proof of god for the non believers. To hear the message of the god in there native tongue from a believer. So that the unbeliever can witness the message and miracle of god.
if I'm not mistaken St. Peter holds the keys to the gates of heaven and says praying for forgiveness is the most important prayer. forgive me for my procrastination for it is off the charts my Lord.

can someone explain my situation to me please. a couple years ago when i was 18 i was walking downtown at night with a male friend and 2 female friends. at times i get in a mood where i want to be alone and think to myself due to recently losing a father to suicide. so i let all 3 friends walk ahead as i was behind. then a homeless man walked up to them asking for money and they walked around him as if there was a big hole in the ground to avoid. me being me, im a empath and know how it feels to be treated as not human. he came up to me next and i told him “im sorry i have nothing i wish i could give you something but if there is anything i can do i can pray for you”. he told me he usually doesn’t let people do that but he will allow it. so i held his hand and closed my eyes trying so hard to find things to say without taking pauses and saying nonsense since i never prayed for anyone but i wanted to do this for him. out of nowhere i started speaking tongues and i felt no control over it. then i snapped out of it and tears fell from my face and i got a feeling that felt so good i have never felt before. mind you i didnt grow up in a church or with the word of god, i had never read the bible i kinda found my own way to god little by little. ig my question is what does it mean ? can i do it again ? why me ?, why a kid who wasnt raised in the name of god and who was a trouble maker and black sheep of the family.
with all due respect, faith is the substance of things hoped for an evidence of things not seen, abraham had faith, Daniel had faith etc the just shall live by faith A tongue is a language and un unknown tongue is a foreign language read revelation 7:9 relationship with God is not based on feeling No
And as far as tongues, I have the stammering lips, and the groanings, which are a manifestation of the Holy Ghost, but after receiving the Holy Ghost thirty-seven years ago, to the best of my knowledge, I have never spoke in tongues. I did however, repent, and was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of my sins, and God filled me with the Holy Ghost.. My heart breathed in pure love: my heart pulsated pure love, and God's peace rested upon me.. It is not a simple thing to receive God. It involves death, and rebirth: both of which are not a simple thing to endure. The year before God filled me, God spoke to me audibly. God did not tell me to do anything. God called me by name, and told me He loves me.. And then after that, the enemy showed up, and told me he was taking me with him.. God, let me see and know, that first of all, God is, and secondly, it would be a battle. And God's words have kept me, and my faith, and my hope, and my peace, and had developed my love for God as a tether line, and for man, as a mission. We, His people, are living epistles, written by the hand of God. And if you disagree, how could I make anyone with a traditional belief, to believe me? Take care, in Jesus name.
Actually I would encourage you to READ Corinthians & Acts of the Apostles re tongues and pray on it as no offence to this Dude he’s just giving his understanding which i am not sure this is right as speaking in tongues is a gift not a requirement. We all have different gifts
I so badly want to speak in tougues i have a vew words that just sometimes come out but I'm not sure if it is of the holy spirit how do i know because it doesn't come out when im with my spirit family what do i do how do i know if it is real
I have a question when you speak in tongues is it something that you always know that you're doing I mean there are times when I spoke in tongues and I knew for sure that I was speaking in tongues and there are other times when I try to but I get nothing I can definitely still sound like I'm speaking in tongues and I'm still trying how do you experience this
as a fellow Mark, I want to say I think having stillness and peace in ones heart is something jesus would prefer sometimes over forcing "speaking in tongues" just something I've felt on occasions. but if your doing it without really thinking perhaps just rejoice or maybe add fervency behind it.
Hi Mark when you speak in tounges you will know you are speaking in tounges. You can speak in tounges when you do things like driving, working, etc. You don't need to pay attention to it if you are doing something and speaking in tounges. Its your spirit praying. But when you are praying in your prayer closet you can pay attention to what you are saying and ask God for interpretation. This is from my experience. Blessings
Not a thing in the Bible says tongues is a free gift for all. All it means is languages. It was used for a very specific purpose--never for private prayer in a secret language. Stop. It.
As I study both sides of the argument amd seek the truth behind this I can say the same thing for your side as both sides sound very compelling in using there narrative
God knows what you ought to pray for before you even start praying. So why then do u even have to speak in tongues??? Does it benefit the guy beside u?

Tongues are an unknown heavenly language for our Spirit and God directly, it's known as the perfect prayer. It's also a sign for unbelievers. It's a gift for all, as all the gifts are but we only can operate in what The Holy Spirit gives us in the moment. Check out Kenneth haggans message on tongues
god wants a partnership, and I think it can change your entire surrounding's "groove" also doesn't have to be all gibberish. all last week I couldn't stop saying the name Topanga. just felt right. could just say a regular prayer or sometimes I think speaking in tongues and not actually speak it out loud idk...
@@NotForNowNo No it's not a gift for all. Speaking in tongues is not a gift for all. Show me in the bible. I do believe there is a legit speaking in tongues as i heard it myself before and its not "Srabababababa". It's a language. You are being fooled by believing that the "sharabababa" is the Holy Spirit. It is not! The Holy Spirit is more than that!
@@NotForNowNo And if you really do have the legit speaking in tongues gift, what's the rule u have to follow? Can all of u together speak in tongues? So it edifies you alone? But I thought all these gifts are to edify the church? Unless someone interprets, only then it edifies the church. Agree?
@@eurekayankee6690 Matthew 6:7-8 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like the pagans.. for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. So brother when you pray in the spirit, pray also with your understanding so that your mind will be fruitful.
Someone explain this to me, so God is Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. If you’re not consciously speaking (communicating) to God when you speak tongues, then who is? The Holy Ghost takes over you say, right? How is it that God the Spirit is talking to, God the Father or Son. Are you saying God is speaking to himself? I mean you don’t understand what you’re actually saying to God with tongues, how is it that you’re praying to him?
Speaking in tongues was about being able to speak different languages. Not gibberish. And not the language of angels. Angels and God spoke Aramaic and every language ever known to man. You dont need to "speak in tongues" to speak to God. Nor does your armor fall off every night. May the Lord reveal His Holy truths to you
@@Historyprepares Thanks for the reply Hayden. You are right in that when we hear the gospel and believe it but not in the context that many think it means. In the Greek that the N.T. was originally written in the Word " believe" can be a noun or a verb. When we hear the gospel and believe it ( noun) that's only the beginning of a process by which we are saved and recieve the Holy Spirit. It is "believe" in the verb form the saves us. It is what we have come to believe when we hear the gospel in action through obedience to the scriptures plan of salvation that saves us. What did Peter tell the men in the crowd in Acts ch.2 after telling them the gospel message," Save yourselves..". For instance, when you hear the gospel message and believe it you have a choice. You can either accept it and act on what you have now come to believe or decide you want to stay as you are. If you decide that you want to become a Christian you first must repent, turn from your past sinful life and become a Christian. This is something you have to do to be saved or you won't be saved. This is after you believe the gospel message and before you recieve the Holy Spirit. This is the first step in obeying the gospel plan of salvation. All of the apostles, including Paul taught that to be saved/ born again one must repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and you would recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit. The word " recieve", in the original Greek, means " to take hold of". We take hold of by diligently praying for the Lord to fill us with the Holy Spirit. This is something, after we believe( noun) we must do to be saved. Lastly, we recieve the Holy Spirit as a result of the Holy Spirit baptism. That is, we diligently pray for the in filling until God grants our request and fills us with the Holy Spirit. Then we must surrender our tongue" The body's most unruly member that no man can tame," until God takes control of it and enables us to speak in the spiritual language that the English translation calls " tongues". Now we have recieved the Holy Spirit indwelling and are born of the Spirit.

Anyone can learn to pray in tongues - it's just a matter or overcoming one's inhibitions about playing with the sounds of one's language. Modern tongues-speech is non-cognitive non-language utterance. It is a completely self-created phenomenon; the subconscious playing with sounds to create what is perceived and interpreted as actual, meaningful speech.
@@supremegrace2317 That was always one of my 'comments'/'questions' to those who promote modern tongues-speech. If a person is deaf and or mute, are they just out of luck??
@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 first of all, you can’t learn a gift. If it’s a gift, then it’s a gift 100%. Why would u need to learn it? Only then you can experience how amazing God is to give u that gift. But if u didn’t get the gift, don’t force yourself to learn that gift, or force God to give u that gift. Praying in the spirit doesn’t necessarily means praying with words. You can pray in the spirit even when you’re quiet for you are praying in your heart and even crying out to God in your heart. And you can be so genuine when your pray from your heart. And that’s a perfect prayer!
Dr. Caroline Leaf a Christian Neuroscientist speaks about this. The science behind speaking in tongues. Remember science is just written facts and understanding of what our spirits already know. I really think you should be careful when you say self created. Think of it more as self-surrender.
@@supremegrace2317 My point is that modern tongues-speech is not the "gift of languages" Paul describes. What modern tongues-speakers are producing today can easily be learned by just about anyone. Yes - “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. In Pentecostal/Charismatic parlance however, the phase has come to be equated with modern “tongues”, i.e. when one “prays in the Spirit”, it signifies that one is typically engaged in some form of tongues-speech.

Speaking in tongues is done in worldly religions including Hinduism it’s called kundalini. How do you ensure it’s not the same when it sounds and looks exactly the same as this personal prayer language?
When you are praying for the Holy Spirit ,and the Lord answers your prayer , He isn't going to allow some evil spirit to interfere and give you a fake language in place of the spiritual language that we call " tongues" which He Himself has chosen to confirm that you have recieved the Holy Spirit. This whole emphasis on a " kundalini" spirit is to keep believers from recieving what the Lord has for them. The Holy Spirit is recieved as a result of the Holy Spirit baptism. The Spirit baptism is to be filled with the Holy Spirit to overflowing. I prayed for and was filled with the Spirit before I recieved the Spirit baptism. Once I was filled I had to then surrender the last vestige of my will, my tongue to the Spirit until He took control of it, " tamed" it and enabled me to speak in the spiritual language that our English translation calls. " tongues". The Word says that no man can tame his tongue ( James ch.3). Man can't but God can. Once that happened it triggered the fillings overflow while at the same moment the Holy Spirit joined with my spirit, becoming one. Then I has recieved the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit. There are only three instances in the book of Acts to where its recorded that believers recieved the Holy Spirit and what happened the moment that the recieved, Acts ch 2,10, and ch.19. In each instance the first thing that happened was that they spoke in " tongues". If I hadn't known any better I could have easily been convinced that I had recieved the Holy Spirit when I was filled. God confirming that we have recieved by enabling us to speak in " tongues" is absolutely essential so there is no doubt that it has occured.
Paul doesn't seem concerned that the believers in Corinth are speaking in tongues, but rather that things are done orderly. Unfortunately, many Pentecostal churches do not follow that order and that is how you can easily spot the error.
@Josh Gellock In Pauls' letters concerning the saints in Corinth, he is speaking of large numbers of the saints speaking in tongues out loud in services to where it is disrupting the service. That was much different than today in pentecostal churches, where the occasional over zealous saints do so. And the fact that it does happen in no way indicates that the plan of salvation taught, in those churches, is not authentic.
@@robertnieten7259 Yeah, Jehovah's Witnesses think they follow Scripture too. As do SDAs. As do Oneness Pentecostals. They all think they have a true understanding of Scripture. Right. Paul and Peter were consistent. At the beginning of Acts, Peter said what was happening (the outpouring of the Holy Spirit) was the fulfillment of the prophet Joel, who said, "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Acts 2:21). Paul says the same thing in Romans 10:13: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Paul also says in another place, "you are saved by grace through faith" (Ephesians 2:8-9). So when we call out to Jesus and ask Him to save us, and put our faith in Him, we're good. It's not because we go to a Oneness Pentecostal church, or because we got water baptized in the name of Jesus, or because we speak in tongues. It's because of our faith in Christ. Should you get baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus? I believe you should, but it isn't a requirement for salvation. We are saved by our faith in the Lord Jesus and His finished work on the cross (he paid for our sins and arose on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures). I'm happy that on UA-cam there are so many testimonies of those who have left the UPC. They should rejoice, having left a church that places unnecessary burdens on others. I cannot even imagine how many people have had to fake "tongues" so they can demonstrate their salvation. Some of the videos I've witnessed from UPC churches of people "speaking in tongues" remind me more of Montanus, rather than an actual Christian church.
@@robertnieten7259 "In Pauls' letters concerning the saints in Corinth, he is speaking of large numbers of the saints speaking in tongues out loud in services to where it is disrupting the service." I've been to services where large numbers of believers start shouting in "tongues". I've watched sermons be interrupted by someone who claimed the Holy Spirit came over them and they just had to stand up and shout loudly in unknown tongues. I've had to drive friends home from service and while we're in the car, they're like, "what was that, Josh?" I don't know. Please, spare me the argument that this was isolated to Corinth. It wasn't. It happens today in many Pentecostal churches. "That was much different than today in pentecostal churches" No it isn't much different. "And the fact that it does happen in no way indicates that the plan of salvation taught, in those churches, is not authentic." Even Paul knew that when an unbeliever or even a believer that is uninformed comes in, they'll say that everyone is out of their minds. There's no defense for such conduct. Those "over zealous saints" should be put on blast right there in service. And yet, in my experience, the service went on after their episode. So, so sad to even see people like you try to defend such reprehensible practices. As for the plan of salvation being taught, if you mean the Oneness Pentecostal plan of salvation, the one with the faith in Jesus with however many other things you need to do to be saved, is questionable at best. And frankly, who would see such escapades in church and say oh yes, I want that too. Sorry friend, no. Just no.
i don’t think 1st Corinthians particularly the verse you cited shows that everyone can speak in a private prayer language. In 1st Corinthians 14 Paul tells those who have the gifts of tongues to remain silent and “to speak to themselves and to God.” He’s speaking directly to those who do have the gift of tongues to pray privately, but He doesn’t say that everyone in the church should pray privately in tongues. For the verse you cited, Paul says that “I wish all of you could speak in tongues,” but that’s exactly what it is, a WISH, in the same way that he wishes that all of us would be celibate like he was, yet he knows we can’t. I really enjoy your videos and a lot of your teachings but I think your interpretation is a little off here with all due respect, not that you’ll read this anyway 😂
Even more to prophesy so we should give more importance to prophecy ; I mean most preachers don’t have the spirit of God so their speaking in tongues is just vain babbling .
You Better speak and pray in tongues PERIOD.. Why? You ask? Acts 19 talks about believers receiving the Holy Spirit after salvation.. The Evidence is tongues. Its our direct access to the Father. Satan can’t do anything with a believer that does…
Tongues where/are known languages and unless you have cloven tongues of fire above your head like at the day of pentacost you are being deceived (im being hyperbolic) I say this in also a hyperbolic way because even then the tongues were known languages. The NAR, Word of Faith and a giant swath of the pentecostal "churches" are unbiblical nonsense that is leading people to hell. Show me any evidence of any apostle or even early church members that spoke in gibberish.....I'll wait because you can't. EVERYONE involved in this nonsense is either 1) being deceived or 2) purposely deceiving others. Nothing about speaking in gibberish is providing edification to the church nor is it helping win souls over to Jesus. All it does it turn anyone with any sense away from your church and hopefully to a good Bible believing church that rightly divides God's Word.
Without God, you'll die to only find that the intolerable pain will increase significantly more. Don't loose your soul. Rather, live loving God and your neighbors as long as He gives you time in this earth. What other way is there besides Jesus's? Not a pretty one. God bless you. ✊️Yessir.

Can he/she says AMEN to your unknown shikirabababsahndaaba? Praying in spirit is not necessarily saying out a word/syllable. You can keep silent and pray in your heart and yet God still hears you! So now tell me how do the mute guys shall speak in tongues? Are they left out? Speaking in tongues means speaking in a known language!!! For all the language in the world, none is without meaning! Don't pray like the pagans! Speaking in tongues is not the greatest gift and you shall be eager for gift of prophesy.
Vol so low couldn't understand it
Here’s my testimony with tongues:
I attended church service Sunday, the pastor was praying over the entire congregation to make us speak in tongues. The whole service was literally worship & prayer to speak in tongues. I began to feel sad because I could hear and see many people saying words in tongues and being baptized in tongues. Unfortunately, I didn’t speak in tongues but I told Jesus, “I know when I am ready, you will bless me with speaking in tongues.”
I went home. Prayed before bedtime and went to sleep. While sleeping, I got woken up by mumbling noises coming out of my mouth. My mouth literally woke me up. I awoke, conscience, my lips continued to speak and I could see them moving. So I got frightened, “am I possessed?” I thought. Suddenly I felt Gods voice saying “Now get on ur knees and pray” as if this was the way for me to find out what was going on.
Mind u, the whole time my lips continued moving and these words kept flowing out.
I started praying. I felt the fire of the Holy Ghost. That’s when my heart leaped for joy because I knew it was TONGUES that I was speaking 😁
But there was this particular word that I kept repeating. I grabbed my blackberry (that’s how long it was ) and looked up that particular word in my phone. When I read the definition. It blew my mind 😮, it said something like: TO GIVE JOY AND PRAISE TO GOD. TO FILL GOD WITH JOY. ✝️
Now it’s been so long that I can’t remember the word. But the other day I heard someone say “MASHA ALLAH” and that sounds similar to the word I kept repeating in tongues.
Moral to the story ❤Be patient my dear brothers and sisters. When ur time is right, it will come. Be ready and when u start to speak in tongues, continue to practice them so they become stronger ❤
Masha allah is used in Islam but regarding the tongues, the same happened to me. I was woken up by Holy Spirit then I started praying in tongues.
Thank you for this testimony this helped me
@@anchi86b wow! that’s amazing to hear u had the same experience as me. ☺️
And yes, that word is used in Islam. Regardless, we have an awesome mysterious God. I don’t question his works. He is who he is. And Blessings to you brother! I know people who have been in the church for years and can’t speak in tongues. What a gift! ❤️ God Bless You
@@mazzyriddick Aw. Thats so sweet. Thank you.
My grammar is off but the intention is good. 😇😊
I’ll take “things that never happened” for 500, Alex.
❤🙏✝️ I observed individuals practicing this on television and in church. Initially, I believed they were simply fabricating it, and I couldn't relate to it. However, one day while I was engrossed in reading the Bible at home, I began praying and suddenly, I experienced the overwhelming presence of the Holy Spirit. Without pause, I found myself speaking in tongues, overcome with a mixture of loud cries and tears. Although it felt like an extended period, it was merely a duration of 10 minutes. I was utterly drained and depleted of energy when it was over. My hope and prayer is that you, too, will encounter the holy Spirit and have the privilege of speaking in tongues. May God bless all of you! 😮😮
I spoke in tongues when I surrendered myself fully. I gave the holy spirit everything in my body while praying 🙏 God bless each and every one of you 🙏
do u speak in tongues when ur alone in ur room?
@@franzlisztbatayola9235yes it builds you up spiritually and is the Spirit praying for his perfect will to be done in your life. It’s an intemate thing that only God can understand when it’s in mysteries not other languages
While I don't hold that every Christian *must* speak in tongues, I believe every one of us *can* access that gift by the grace of God.
Agreed. Every Christian can be filled with the Spirit and therefore speak in tongues, but ultimately it is up to the believer. Just as salvation is a choice, so is this.
When i prayed and was filled with the Holy Spirit i had to surrender my tongue to the Spirit so that He could scripturally confirm that i had recieved the Holy Spirit.( I simply opened my mouth, after i had been filled,and relaxed my tongue. After a short time i became aware if the Holy Spirit seizing control of my tongue and i immediately began to speak in this spirirual language, that in English, we call "tongues".
Recieving the Holy Spirit is so important to our salvation that God has given us this sign to confirm that it has occured.
I could easily have believed that i had recieved when i had been filled and would have been wrong.
I had waited or received the anointing of the Holy spirit and the gift of speaking in tongues at the age of 17-18 (since the day I was born) now I'm 24
Nawadays all tonges are nonsense, , why are they the same every day??if they were true then they will be different since you dont pray the same message all times
@@norahk6587 Speaking in tongues is speaking in one spiritual language so its natural that it would sound the same.
Psul calls it the unknown tongue that" no man knows" 1Cor.14:2. If no man knows it then its not a language nstive to this world.
Paul calls it praying in the spirit. When we pray in our native language it is source us our mind. But when we pray in our spiritual language its source is our spirit.
Psul also said "when i pray in an unkown tongue my spirit prays but my understanding is unfruitful.."(1Cor.14:14)
In other words Paul is saying that when hpe prays in this unknown langpuage he doesn't understsnd what he is saying.
Its not necesssry that we undersand what we are saying because our spirit is praying through us and praying for what we really need prayer for because sometimes we don't know what we need to pray for.
It’s difficult. It took me two hours but it was very much worth it. Most beautiful thing ever
how did you do it ?
Tongues are not learned or taught the Bible clearly says it’s a gift from God, when you are filled with fire of the Holy Ghost. A gift cannot be developed now it is possible your were desiring it for two hours and then all of a sudden you received it but it’s not something you start trying by repeating words until your tongue is released or developed this is a false doctrine that many preachers teach.
by repeating words? that's dangerous, where is that written in the bible
@elirodriguez514 You are right that the spiritual gift of tongues/the language isn't learned or taught. But when I was a teen, and asked for the gift of tongues, I first persevered in speaking syllables that came to my mind as a step of childlike faith. I don't believe those syllables were tongues, but God honoured the perseverance and suddenly, when I turned my focus away from myself and away from the sounds I was speaking and focussed on sincerely praying to the Lord for someone in my mind, a language began to flow from my spirit, nolonger from my mind. In this sense it was like the gift was released, I don't think that would be too inaccurate a phrase.
When you get a gift, it's not hard. Don't deceive people please.
If u read the whole verse 1 corithians 14:5 it says there should be someone who can interpret so that the church can receive edifying same to 1 corithians 14: 27 but that doesnt happen in churches as we see today
So what if you’re speaking in tongues at home. Who’s gonna interpret it then?
@@pinkorangesodanobody needs to interpret it at home
Someone to interpret, you mean a mental health professionl?
There are 4 types of tongues my dear. One of it is tongues of interpretation that's requires and interpreter who can interpret the tongue, It's mostly prophetic. The others are public tongues which was manifested at the day of Pentecost where people started speaking tongues of different languages. The other is private tongue its heavenly language, where the Holy Spirit prays for you to strengthen you. The other is tongues of praise where you are praising God and singing in tongues for him.
Praying is different then gift of tongues
This respected pastor is very critical 😢
Love you HOLY SPIRIT😊😊
Thank you very much my dear lord Jesus Christ for your holy spirit 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉 thank for
When the bible mentions "speaking in tongues", it's talking about suddenly speaking in a KNOWN UNDERSTANDABLE LANGUAGE THAT THE PERSON HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY KNOWN BEFORE, NOT BLABBERING NONSENSE GIBBERISH. READ THE BOOK OF ACTS AND THE CONTEXT CONTEXT CONTEXT!!! The apostles were speaking in different tongues/languages they hadn't known before, by the power of the Spirit, to be able to preach to other people who didn't speak their language. Also remember that believers have different gifts, some can prophesy some can't, some have the gift of teaching some don't, some have the gift to be able to speak in tongues AND SOME DON'T, AND THAT'S OKAY!! As a Christian, I'm tired of pastors and other Christians babbling complete nonsense and saying it's the Holy Spirit. "For God is not the author of confusion [. . .]" - 1 Corinthians 14:33
Thank you! I'm tired of this too SPEAK THE TRUTH. These pastors are prosperity pastors
Yeah.. no
There's praying in tongues (that is not a language man can understand, only God) and then there's being baptized with the holy spirit and speaking in tongues (technically not supposed to do unless someone is there to interpret).
I forget where exactly it says everyone can and he wants us to, but it's there somewhere.
@@leahbia82 if you can't show us where, I think it's best you don't bring it up at all.
1 Corinthians chapters 12-14 is pretty much saying that there are different parts of the body that do different things for specific reasons, to edify each other. The eyes don't look at the ears with resentment because they can only hear or they feet being envious of the hands because they don't do all the walking etc. Pentecostal, Baptist etc are neither wrong or right persay, but are different from each other so we can edify each other and learn from each other. There are certain denominations and religions within christ that we definitely have to be aware of that accept heresy in their church, but for the most part there is really no wrong or right "denomination"
pentecostal is definitely biblical
Just as Baptist is❤
Where does the bible specifically say there are different TYPES of tongues as in gifts? It mentions diversity of tongues to be understood as different languages. You can pray in the spirit with your native language.
No one wants to accpet the truth
@@ruukibane301 Sadly
In 1 Cor 14, Paul speaks of tongues as being a spiritual gift (not referring to a natural ability) and describes the languages as our spirit praying to God while our mind is unfruitful. He says we should not only pray in the spirit, but also with our understanding.
I pray in my native language in my mind when praying audibly in tongues (not native language), the language sometimes changes as I pray for different people and situations. I don't know for sure, of course, if what I'm praying with my spirit by the Holy Spirit correlates to what I'm praying in my mind.
@@upsidedownkingdom5263 Just so I am understanding your position correctly are you saying tongues is a heavenly language and that you understand what you're saying when you speak it?
@@dre5773 Thanks for asking for clarification, I need to learn the wisdom of doing the same! No, I meant that when I am praying in tongues my mind is unfruitful in regard to understanding the language. Similar to what Paul described.
I am often, at the same time, praying in my own native language in my mind though. I don't think what I'm praying in my mind is an interpretation of the tongues.
I don't know if the tongues I speak in prayer are heavenly languages or earthly ones, but they sound like earthly ones. What would a heavenly language sound like? I have no idea. Paul wrote of (at least hypothetically) speaking in the tongues of men and of angels. But since we don't know all the languages in the world how would we know if our tongue is an earthly one?
I myself don't give messages in tongues in church, I don't get interpretations. I pray privately in tongues.

1 Corinthians 14
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Brother thank you for this message I felt it in JESUS NAME amen 🙏 🙏
Where in the Bible does it say:
1. There are different types of speaking in tongues; and this is how you recognize it.
2. If Paul is speaking of private usage of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, why does he say I want you to prophesy?
1. It is described in 1 Corinthians 14 (maybe also other places but I haven’t done extensive studying). I wouldn’t call it different “types” but more just different uses of speaking in tongues. Verse 5 kind of addresses both, by saying prophecy is greater than tongues (prayer use) unless there is an interpretation (edifying the body use). Verse 15 also talks about praying in the spirit I.e. tongues. Verse 28 also talks about the gift with interpretation but if no one can interpret, pray to God in tongues privately.
2. Paul is kinda going back and forth talking about private usage and public. Just depends on the context to know which. It is a kinda confusing chapter but when the lord blesses you with the gift of the Holy Spirit , it is the best thing ever! Literally solidified my faith and my walk with God when I first felt His presence fill me❤
@@hailey5672 @Hailey
1. What I mean by "types" is that there is an understanding here that there are 2 types of tongues:
a. Foreign language that is unknown to the speaker but certainly a language that exists on Earth; and
b. Language that is not spoken on Earth between creation, rather is a personal prayer language of man to God.
I do not find the latter in the Bible. So, that's my query.
2. The same gift is to be used depending on the context. I am not disagreeing with the you on the application of this gift in church. I only have a problem with the interpretation of this one gift as two separate gifts.
@@JesusAlwaysIsGod ah sorry, I misunderstood. I can’t remember if there are more scriptures about it but 1 Corinthians 13:1 (NKJV) says
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.”
To me, this verse is Paul saying there is an angelic kind of tongue. And maybe this is the same kind in chapter 14 verse 15 that I mentioned earlier when he contrasts praying in the spirit and praying in understanding. Praying in the spirit won’t be understood by human ears. I don’t think it’s 100% clear but the same Spirit is working.
I heard an evangelist one tell about an experience he had in a church. A Jewish man visited the church and they asked people to come to the front and he did so out of respect, not because he connected with the message. They tried to explain to him that Jesus is the same God of the Old Testament, jehovah. And he said he would not believe it unless he heard God tell him in Hebrew. A moments later, a lady who did not know Hebrew was standing nearby I assume praying in tongues as normal but he heard her start saying something like “ I AM God and my name is Jesus” in perfect Hebrew. This man was shook and asked people if she knew Hebrew which she did not. He surrendered to Jesus in that moment though!
All that to say, whether the speaker is speaking in an angelic tongue or an unknown language of men, God is at work and can use it for His own purpose. Wish I had more knowledge for you but that story was so beautiful to me how faithful our God is to move in that situation and give this man exactly what he asked 🙌
@@hailey5672 Scriptural clarity and method of scriptural interpretation matter. I am certain that we agree on this.
Here is my understanding:
Let's say,
1. I am in India attending a service in Hindi language. Nobody in attendance speaks any language but Hindi.
2. I can communicate in Hindi. But I also know English.
Summary: If I pray in English, I am not understood by the congregation. Hence, it is more useful for me to speak 5 words in Hindi than preach 15 minutes in English- unless I have a translator. If I have a translator, my preaching in English can edify the church.
Likewise, is the gift of tongues. Every gift of the Holy Spirit is for the good of the church- including the gift of tongues. The gift of tongues works along with the gift of interpretation to edify of the church.
I do not deny that angels have a language. Angels do communicate after all... Our God speaks! He has always spoken! Praise God!
However, I fail to see where it says in scripture that "we speak in angelic language when we speak in tongues"; or that "even the devil can not comprehend what we say when we speak in tongues (like one of my dear brothers once preached)".
Hailey, I thank you for taking the time to reply to my message in love and truth. May the Lord bless you. May His peace dwell in your heart and His counsel guide you in all righteousness and truth.
@@hailey5672 I loved the experience you shared with me (regarding the Jewish man who asked for a sign). Scripture says that the gift of tongues is a sign for the unbeliever, and prophesy for the believer. Fascinating how God works! This is clearly in accordance with 1 Corinthians 14 : 22 - 25.

@@partlysimpson5154 it doesn't work like that. The spirit chooses what gifts one will get, not the individual.
@@partlysimpson5154you don't even understand what speaking in tongues is.
There are a few things that I have very strong conviction over: one in particular is, when a man or preacher says; "I'm going to prophesy'' and then goes on to say something.. Now, I have read that God will tell the prophet to prophesy, but I do not see a prophet saying he is going to prophesy. The closest thing I see as far as that is, when the one sent by God says; ''Thus says the Lord.'' I fear and respect God too much to ever say, I'm going to prophesy.. And whenever I hear a "preacher" say that, he loses respect from me.. Am I wrong?
It's not a rhetorical question. If you read at the being on the chapter, you will find out that not all have the same gifts. He says that not all can speak in tongues, and not all can be prophesy.
Where does the verse says that there is a certain tongue that indicates personal prayer language?
I was asking myself that question as well.

ISV - “I WISH that all of you could speak in foreign languages…”
NLT - “I WISH…”

The Apostle Paul wishes (WISHES) all could speak in tongues, but just like he stated before, “The Holy Spirit decides who gets what” (that’s me paraphrasing)
Pray for it. 🙏🏽
Amen thank you Lord ❤
Did alot of people miss the fact he said you don’t need an interpreter for personal prayers????? Some of us speak in tongues as we pray to God. What part of it confuses the enemy are alot of people not understanding? This is one of those scriptures that people who really feel it is an embarrassment to speak in tongues just hold on to that one part when in fact it is all about the timing & purpose in which you speak them that determines if you need an interpreter. You can pray out loud your personal prayer using tongues instead of words. It is a gift from Jesus that He left as a part of Himself that He gave to us after His resurrection.
I had waited or received the anointing of the Holy spirit and the gift of speaking in tongues at the age of 17-18 (since the day I was born) now I'm 24
how did you know you received the gift of tongues?
I dont think everybody speaks in tongues, but God to allen parr "why I stop speaking in tongues" he explain this better❤
Amen everyone can with the grace of god❤
WOW HALLELUJAH ❤
Love you my lord great great great great great great great hollyspiritJESUSYHWH the devine
Speaking in tongues is NOT a gift, it’s a manifestation (one of 9) of Christ in a believer aka The Holy spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7) EVERY believer can do it. However there are gift ministries that are given to SOME believers (Ephesians 4:11-12) This is often taught erroneously when not rightly dividing the Word
No. That’s not what is being said. Paul was rebuking the Corinthians. He was saying that Prophecy is the true gift. Tongue speaking is nonsensical and does not glorify the church. It’s selfish and glorifies oneself.
Amen, good to see someone that isn't deceived in this comment section.
I have no need for tongues. It is the least of all gifts, and too much confusion remains about the issue. It is a gift that Jannes and Jambres can mimic, and some denominations have prioritized the gift as if its necessary proof that one has been filled with the Spirit. It is a Laodicean gift (in this current age), in my opinion. I am content with the gifts God has given me, and if you are content with the gift of tongues, then to God be the glory.
All believer can, otherwise Paul would not state that. It's obvious. ♥️🙏
Any believer can speak in tongues, but not all people have the GIFT of tongues.
Can believers request the gift of speaking in tongues from God? When should this gift be used? During a speaking to a group of people with different languages? Confused!
Shalom
This is phrased weird. Yes, every Christian can but only by God’s grace. We can’t just access it on our own but by what God gives. So no, we can’t all speak in tongues
I perfectly understand
NO NEED TO WORRY
Wow…just wow. How do people believe this and function normally? In any other situation they would be hospitalized and HEAVILY MEDICATED.
I am asking myself the same
Well said
The NLT brings out the interpretation that seems to read from the context. Paul is simply highlighting that he is not against people speaking in tongues, and to drive the point home he expresses his wish that everyone would speak in tongues.
1 Corinthians 14
5 I wish you could all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you could all prophesy.
It’s pretty clear from other passages that not everyone has the gift of tongues.
I Corinthians 12
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit ……to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
He then goes on to say later in the chapter
30 Do we all have the gift of healing? Do we all have the ability to speak in unknown languages? Do we all have the ability to interpret unknown languages? Of course not!
Drawing a distinction between what Paul says about tongues that are or are not interpreted seems artificial. In 1 Corinthians 14 Paul teaches
27 No more than two or three should speak in tongues. They must speak one at a time, and someone must interpret what they say. 28 But if no one is present who can interpret, they must be silent in your church meeting and speak in tongues to God privately.
In other words, if there is no one present to interpret a tongue on a particular day then the person should just exercise their gift in private. There is no hint here that there is one tongue that is used in public and another in private tongue. Just that when exercised in public, the tongue should be interpreted.
I applaud the Pentecostal's eagerness to use the gifts. I think their theology gets a bit wonky at different points. The idea that everyone can speak in tongues easily leads to a sense of failure or people faking it when they don't get the gift. God is dishonoured when that happens.
There's no reason to speak In tongues, speak the gospel to where everyone understands it...other then that its gibberish..Speaking In tongues was for nonbelievers... He wants true Christ followers to share the gospel having faith in Jesus Christ
Amen
Agreed, pastor.
But should believers pray in tongues in gatherings?
People in these comments use their intellectual about speak in tongues the bible says in 1Corinthians 14:14 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. . Nkjv
If you pray in tongues you cannot understand what you are saying, your mind is unfruitful but your spirit prays to God. And only God can understands it in 1Corinthians 14:2.
God knows what you ought to pray for before you even start praying. So why then do u even have to speak in tongues??? Does it benefit the guy beside u? Can he/she says AMEN to your unknown shikirabababsahndaaba? Praying in spirit is not necessarily saying out a word/syllable. You can keep silent and pray in your heart and yet God still hears you! So now tell me how do the mute guys shall speak in tongues? Are they left out? Speaking in tongues means speaking in a known language!!! For all the language in the world, none is without meaning! Don't pray like the pagans! Speaking in tongues is not the greatest gift and you shall be eager for gift of prophesy.
U just had him quote a scripture and u still have a problem with that? That's God's word, not his. Take it up with God.

corrithians 1;14,27
"for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues,"
For the life of me, I don't see how people elevate tongues as THE ultimate gift of the Spirit. It is the most easily faked and misunderstood gift. And I Cor. 14:1-5 in context is about how prophesy and tongues (actually human languages) are for the edification of the church. It is not about a prayer language. Paul is saying that when someone speaks in tongues, the hearers won't understand a language that is foreign to them. This is where the gift of prophesy is important because the one who speaks in a tongue that is not understood, only God understands what is being said. So Paul says to seek to have understanding. That is all this context is conveying, not a secret prayer language.
Many have crept in the church using kabbalah magic !! saying they are speaking in tongues or a heavenly language.
Speaking in tongue. To my understanding is suppose to be proof of god for the non believers. To hear the message of the god in there native tongue from a believer. So that the unbeliever can witness the message and miracle of god.
Yes
if I'm not mistaken St. Peter holds the keys to the gates of heaven and says praying for forgiveness is the most important prayer. forgive me for my procrastination for it is off the charts my Lord.

can someone explain my situation to me please.
a couple years ago when i was 18 i was walking downtown at night with a male friend and 2 female friends. at times i get in a mood where i want to be alone and think to myself due to recently losing a father to suicide. so i let all 3 friends walk ahead as i was behind. then a homeless man walked up to them asking for money and they walked around him as if there was a big hole in the ground to avoid. me being me, im a empath and know how it feels to be treated as not human. he came up to me next and i told him “im sorry i have nothing i wish i could give you something but if there is anything i can do i can pray for you”. he told me he usually doesn’t let people do that but he will allow it. so i held his hand and closed my eyes trying so hard to find things to say without taking pauses and saying nonsense since i never prayed for anyone but i wanted to do this for him. out of nowhere i started speaking tongues and i felt no control over it. then i snapped out of it and tears fell from my face and i got a feeling that felt so good i have never felt before. mind you i didnt grow up in a church or with the word of god, i had never read the bible i kinda found my own way to god little by little.
ig my question is what does it mean ? can i do it again ? why me ?, why a kid who wasnt raised in the name of god and who was a trouble maker and black sheep of the family.
@@CherriJo i really appreciate you taking the time to inform me. this made alot of sense and is what i needed to hear. God bless you

A tongue is a language and un unknown tongue is a foreign language read revelation 7:9

I can't speak in tongues... I'm struggling in general.
Very good and quick explanation. Thank you.
they were talking to the israelites that spoke languages of other countries
There is no “personal prayer language” tongues
Should it be done in church without a interperter?
So unbiblical. Some of us are more lead by our feelings and emotions than the Word of God.
And as far as tongues, I have the stammering lips, and the groanings, which are a manifestation of the Holy Ghost, but after receiving the Holy Ghost thirty-seven years ago, to the best of my knowledge, I have never spoke in tongues. I did however, repent, and was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of my sins, and God filled me with the Holy Ghost.. My heart breathed in pure love: my heart pulsated pure love, and God's peace rested upon me.. It is not a simple thing to receive God. It involves death, and rebirth: both of which are not a simple thing to endure. The year before God filled me, God spoke to me audibly. God did not tell me to do anything. God called me by name, and told me He loves me.. And then after that, the enemy showed up, and told me he was taking me with him.. God, let me see and know, that first of all, God is, and secondly, it would be a battle. And God's words have kept me, and my faith, and my hope, and my peace, and had developed my love for God as a tether line, and for man, as a mission. We, His people, are living epistles, written by the hand of God. And if you disagree, how could I make anyone with a traditional belief, to believe me? Take care, in Jesus name.
Actually I would encourage you to READ Corinthians & Acts of the Apostles re tongues and pray on it as no offence to this Dude he’s just giving his understanding which i am not sure this is right as speaking in tongues is a gift not a requirement. We all have different gifts
I so badly want to speak in tougues i have a vew words that just sometimes come out but I'm not sure if it is of the holy spirit how do i know because it doesn't come out when im with my spirit family what do i do how do i know if it is real

Notice how he asked can everyone pray in tongues. And the bible verse he showed referenced speaking in tongues.
I have a question when you speak in tongues is it something that you always know that you're doing I mean there are times when I spoke in tongues and I knew for sure that I was speaking in tongues and there are other times when I try to but I get nothing I can definitely still sound like I'm speaking in tongues and I'm still trying how do you experience this
as a fellow Mark, I want to say I think having stillness and peace in ones heart is something jesus would prefer sometimes over forcing "speaking in tongues" just something I've felt on occasions. but if your doing it without really thinking perhaps just rejoice or maybe add fervency behind it.
@@eurekayankee6690 thank u 😀 I will give it a shot
Hi Mark when you speak in tounges you will know you are speaking in tounges. You can speak in tounges when you do things like driving, working, etc. You don't need to pay attention to it if you are doing something and speaking in tounges. Its your spirit praying. But when you are praying in your prayer closet you can pay attention to what you are saying and ask God for interpretation. This is from my experience. Blessings
Not a thing in the Bible says tongues is a free gift for all. All it means is languages. It was used for a very specific purpose--never for private prayer in a secret language. Stop. It.
I cannot hear your recording tho my volume is on loud
Way to abbreviate 1Corinthians 14:5 to fit your narrative. Context is key.
As I study both sides of the argument amd seek the truth behind this I can say the same thing for your side as both sides sound very compelling in using there narrative
God knows what you ought to pray for before you even start praying. So why then do u even have to speak in tongues??? Does it benefit the guy beside u?

Tongues are an unknown heavenly language for our Spirit and God directly, it's known as the perfect prayer. It's also a sign for unbelievers. It's a gift for all, as all the gifts are but we only can operate in what The Holy Spirit gives us in the moment. Check out Kenneth haggans message on tongues
god wants a partnership, and I think it can change your entire surrounding's "groove" also doesn't have to be all gibberish. all last week I couldn't stop saying the name Topanga. just felt right. could just say a regular prayer or sometimes I think speaking in tongues and not actually speak it out loud idk...
@@NotForNowNo No it's not a gift for all. Speaking in tongues is not a gift for all. Show me in the bible. I do believe there is a legit speaking in tongues as i heard it myself before and its not "Srabababababa". It's a language. You are being fooled by believing that the "sharabababa" is the Holy Spirit. It is not! The Holy Spirit is more than that!
@@NotForNowNo And if you really do have the legit speaking in tongues gift, what's the rule u have to follow? Can all of u together speak in tongues? So it edifies you alone? But I thought all these gifts are to edify the church? Unless someone interprets, only then it edifies the church. Agree?
@@eurekayankee6690 Matthew 6:7-8 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like the pagans.. for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. So brother when you pray in the spirit, pray also with your understanding so that your mind will be fruitful.

Great
Someone explain this to me, so God is Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. If you’re not consciously speaking (communicating) to God when you speak tongues, then who is? The Holy Ghost takes over you say, right? How is it that God the Spirit is talking to, God the Father or Son. Are you saying God is speaking to himself? I mean you don’t understand what you’re actually saying to God with tongues, how is it that you’re praying to him?
Speaking in tongues was about being able to speak different languages. Not gibberish. And not the language of angels. Angels and God spoke Aramaic and every language ever known to man. You dont need to "speak in tongues" to speak to God. Nor does your armor fall off every night. May the Lord reveal His Holy truths to you
*should anyone lay hands on me so that i will be baptised with holy spirit ?? or i can simply pray on my own*
Go to an Apostolic Pentecostal church they will pray with you.
You can certainly pray on your own, too. You can often rely on yourself through God, before relying on others.
You get the holy spirit when you hear the Gospel and believe the record that God gave of his Son. No man laying his hands on you grants it.
@@Historyprepares Thanks for the reply Hayden. You are right in that when we hear the gospel and believe it but not in the context that many think it means.
In the Greek that the N.T. was originally written in the Word " believe" can be a noun or a verb. When we hear the gospel and believe it ( noun) that's only the beginning of a process by which we are saved and recieve the Holy Spirit.
It is "believe" in the verb form the saves us. It is what we have come to believe when we hear the gospel in action through obedience to the scriptures plan of salvation that saves us. What did Peter tell the men in the crowd in Acts ch.2 after telling them the gospel message," Save yourselves..".
For instance, when you hear the gospel message and believe it you have a choice. You can either accept it and act on what you have now come to believe or decide you want to stay as you are.
If you decide that you want to become a Christian you first must repent, turn from your past sinful life and become a Christian. This is something you have to do to be saved or you won't be saved. This is after you believe the gospel message and before you recieve the Holy Spirit. This is the first step in obeying the gospel plan of salvation.
All of the apostles, including Paul taught that to be saved/ born again one must repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and you would recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit. The word " recieve", in the original Greek, means " to take hold of". We take hold of by diligently praying for the Lord to fill us with the Holy Spirit. This is something, after we believe( noun) we must do to be saved.
Lastly, we recieve the Holy Spirit as a result of the Holy Spirit baptism. That is, we diligently pray for the in filling until God grants our request and fills us with the Holy Spirit. Then we must surrender our tongue" The body's most unruly member that no man can tame," until God takes control of it and enables us to speak in the spiritual language that the English translation calls " tongues". Now we have recieved the Holy Spirit indwelling and are born of the Spirit.
@@robertnieten7259 Robert you are an enemy of the Gospel of Christ. You teach works. I rebuke you. For by Grace are you saved through FAITH not WORKS. I know who are, and your teaching leads people to hell. You need to repent and believe the Gospel of Grace through faith. Do not respond to me, I will not continue this conversation. I rebuke you Satan.
Anyone can learn to pray in tongues - it's just a matter or overcoming one's inhibitions about playing with the sounds of one's language. Modern tongues-speech is non-cognitive non-language utterance. It is a completely self-created phenomenon; the subconscious playing with sounds to create what is perceived and interpreted as actual, meaningful speech.
But what if I’m mute? I can’t even produce a sound. So how then i can learn that “speaking in tongues”?
@@supremegrace2317
That was always one of my 'comments'/'questions' to those who promote modern tongues-speech. If a person is deaf and or mute, are they just out of luck??
@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 first of all, you can’t learn a gift. If it’s a gift, then it’s a gift 100%. Why would u need to learn it? Only then you can experience how amazing God is to give u that gift. But if u didn’t get the gift, don’t force yourself to learn that gift, or force God to give u that gift. Praying in the spirit doesn’t necessarily means praying with words. You can pray in the spirit even when you’re quiet for you are praying in your heart and even crying out to God in your heart. And you can be so genuine when your pray from your heart. And that’s a perfect prayer!
Dr. Caroline Leaf a Christian Neuroscientist speaks about this. The science behind speaking in tongues. Remember science is just written facts and understanding of what our spirits already know. I really think you should be careful when you say self created. Think of it more as self-surrender.
@@supremegrace2317
My point is that modern tongues-speech is not the "gift of languages" Paul describes. What modern tongues-speakers are producing today can easily be learned by just about anyone.
Yes - “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. In Pentecostal/Charismatic parlance however, the phase has come to be equated with modern “tongues”, i.e. when one “prays in the Spirit”, it signifies that one is typically engaged in some form of tongues-speech.
Brother read the context deeply. 1corinthain 14.5. Paul urging all can speak in tongue but. Preaching the word of God better than in speaking tongue .. Unless he interpret.. Bro can you interpret... Brother Dnt for get to explain about ( but )in .i corinthain 14:5.and Read verse 9. Dnt ashamed to read vers 9

Speaking in tongues is done in worldly religions including Hinduism it’s called kundalini. How do you ensure it’s not the same when it sounds and looks exactly the same as this personal prayer language?
When you are praying for the Holy Spirit ,and the Lord answers your prayer , He isn't going to allow some evil spirit to interfere and give you a fake language in place of the spiritual language that we call " tongues" which He Himself has chosen to confirm that you have recieved the Holy Spirit.
This whole emphasis on a " kundalini" spirit is to keep believers from recieving what the Lord has for them.
The Holy Spirit is recieved as a result of the Holy Spirit baptism. The Spirit baptism is to be filled with the Holy Spirit to overflowing.
I prayed for and was filled with the Spirit before I recieved the Spirit baptism. Once I was filled I had to then surrender the last vestige of my will, my tongue to the Spirit until He took control of it, " tamed" it and enabled me to speak in the spiritual language that our English translation calls. " tongues". The Word says that no man can tame his tongue ( James ch.3). Man can't but God can.
Once that happened it triggered the fillings overflow while at the same moment the Holy Spirit joined with my spirit, becoming one. Then I has recieved the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
There are only three instances in the book of Acts to where its recorded that believers recieved the Holy Spirit and what happened the moment that the recieved, Acts ch 2,10, and ch.19. In each instance the first thing that happened was that they spoke in " tongues".
If I hadn't known any better I could have easily been convinced that I had recieved the Holy Spirit when I was filled. God confirming that we have recieved by enabling us to speak in " tongues" is absolutely essential so there is no doubt that it has occured.
Paul doesn't seem concerned that the believers in Corinth are speaking in tongues, but rather that things are done orderly. Unfortunately, many Pentecostal churches do not follow that order and that is how you can easily spot the error.
@Josh Gellock In Pauls' letters concerning the saints in Corinth, he is speaking of large numbers of the saints speaking in tongues out loud in services to where it is disrupting the service.
That was much different than today in pentecostal churches, where the occasional over zealous saints do so. And the fact that it does happen in no way indicates that the plan of salvation taught, in those churches, is not authentic.
@@robertnieten7259 Yeah, Jehovah's Witnesses think they follow Scripture too. As do SDAs. As do Oneness Pentecostals. They all think they have a true understanding of Scripture. Right.
Paul and Peter were consistent. At the beginning of Acts, Peter said what was happening (the outpouring of the Holy Spirit) was the fulfillment of the prophet Joel, who said, "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Acts 2:21). Paul says the same thing in Romans 10:13: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Paul also says in another place, "you are saved by grace through faith" (Ephesians 2:8-9). So when we call out to Jesus and ask Him to save us, and put our faith in Him, we're good. It's not because we go to a Oneness Pentecostal church, or because we got water baptized in the name of Jesus, or because we speak in tongues. It's because of our faith in Christ.
Should you get baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus? I believe you should, but it isn't a requirement for salvation. We are saved by our faith in the Lord Jesus and His finished work on the cross (he paid for our sins and arose on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures).
I'm happy that on UA-cam there are so many testimonies of those who have left the UPC. They should rejoice, having left a church that places unnecessary burdens on others. I cannot even imagine how many people have had to fake "tongues" so they can demonstrate their salvation. Some of the videos I've witnessed from UPC churches of people "speaking in tongues" remind me more of Montanus, rather than an actual Christian church.
@@robertnieten7259 "In Pauls' letters concerning the saints in Corinth, he is speaking of large numbers of the saints speaking in tongues out loud in services to where it is disrupting the service." I've been to services where large numbers of believers start shouting in "tongues". I've watched sermons be interrupted by someone who claimed the Holy Spirit came over them and they just had to stand up and shout loudly in unknown tongues. I've had to drive friends home from service and while we're in the car, they're like, "what was that, Josh?" I don't know. Please, spare me the argument that this was isolated to Corinth. It wasn't. It happens today in many Pentecostal churches.
"That was much different than today in pentecostal churches" No it isn't much different.
"And the fact that it does happen in no way indicates that the plan of salvation taught, in those churches, is not authentic." Even Paul knew that when an unbeliever or even a believer that is uninformed comes in, they'll say that everyone is out of their minds. There's no defense for such conduct. Those "over zealous saints" should be put on blast right there in service. And yet, in my experience, the service went on after their episode. So, so sad to even see people like you try to defend such reprehensible practices.
As for the plan of salvation being taught, if you mean the Oneness Pentecostal plan of salvation, the one with the faith in Jesus with however many other things you need to do to be saved, is questionable at best. And frankly, who would see such escapades in church and say oh yes, I want that too. Sorry friend, no. Just no.
Amen ❤
i don’t think 1st Corinthians particularly the verse you cited shows that everyone can speak in a private prayer language. In 1st Corinthians 14 Paul tells those who have the gifts of tongues to remain silent and “to speak to themselves and to God.” He’s speaking directly to those who do have the gift of tongues to pray privately, but He doesn’t say that everyone in the church should pray privately in tongues. For the verse you cited, Paul says that “I wish all of you could speak in tongues,” but that’s exactly what it is, a WISH, in the same way that he wishes that all of us would be celibate like he was, yet he knows we can’t. I really enjoy your videos and a lot of your teachings but I think your interpretation is a little off here with all due respect, not that you’ll read this anyway 😂
Even more to prophesy so we should give more importance to prophecy ;
I mean most preachers don’t have the spirit of God so their speaking in tongues is just vain babbling .

You literally said it yourself it was a rhetorical question
You Better speak and pray in tongues PERIOD.. Why? You ask? Acts 19 talks about believers receiving the Holy Spirit after salvation.. The Evidence is tongues. Its our direct access to the Father. Satan can’t do anything with a believer that does…
Tongues where/are known languages and unless you have cloven tongues of fire above your head like at the day of pentacost you are being deceived (im being hyperbolic) I say this in also a hyperbolic way because even then the tongues were known languages. The NAR, Word of Faith and a giant swath of the pentecostal "churches" are unbiblical nonsense that is leading people to hell. Show me any evidence of any apostle or even early church members that spoke in gibberish.....I'll wait because you can't. EVERYONE involved in this nonsense is either 1) being deceived or 2) purposely deceiving others. Nothing about speaking in gibberish is providing edification to the church nor is it helping win souls over to Jesus. All it does it turn anyone with any sense away from your church and hopefully to a good Bible believing church that rightly divides God's Word.

Rather, live loving God and your neighbors as long as He gives you time in this earth.
