Well said Stever. Back in the 90s when I was single we had a member who had left a Charismatic church and he admitted to us that they "taught" him how to speak in tongues. They told him to roll his tongue around in his mouth and to just let the Spirit start speaking through him. I guess he lost the ability when he came to our Baptist church. Like you said if it has to be taught then it is of man.
Another Pentecostal Associate Pastor I met got upset when I told a co-worker that I didn't believe tongues were Biblical for today. He got so fired up he told me that we could go down to the break room and in 30 minutes he'd have me speaking in tongues.
I should have lovingly said to him something such as "Nick, if you can have me speaking in tongues wouldn't that be the power of your flesh and not the power of the Holy Spirit?"
So many churches that equate tongues and other gifts such as Healing and Prophecy as being more spiritual. I guess they feel that if they are "feeling like it's a spiritual event" then it must be from God?
