Speaking in Tounges

[jazzypooh]

I've never seen this in all my time as a Christian, wait once but I wasn't Christian then and don't really know if the guy was doing it or not. Is that bad? To be so ignorant on this?

just seek God for truth. ask Him to show you truth in this area. His WOrd says that He desires for all men to come into the knowledge of truth, so He will grant that to you as you seek Him for it.

There's a scene in the Borat movie where the guy was speaking in tongues at the Pentecostal Convention.

Then they slaid Borat in the spirit and you could see the pastor telling Borat to "come on now, speak in tongues, come on"

So Borat did! "Tralalalamalala mutti shamallalaalla mutti" etc etc etc.

I was in stitches watching it. Sorry if this offends some people. But even Christians are allowed to have a sense of humour

but we are not to make fun of the things of God. the world does that enough. God is not laughing at that. we grieve the HOly Spirit when we make fun of or abuse the gifts of the Holy Spirit. so please be careful in your humor.

We have to be aware, beware, and don't be unaware of Speaking in Tongues. It is a Spiritual Gift, but at the same time it can become a counterfeit as well, sometime referred to as a "demonic tongue"

Usually you find a person who is a counterfeit, and they usually speak in tongues, every meeting, drawing attention to themself, but their also needs to be an "interpretation of tongues", which is also a Spiritual Gift

If there is no interpretation, then beware of the person.

there's a difference between uttering a prophetic word for the church via tongues than just praying in the Spirit. tongues also edifies us as individuals. so if a person is just off to themselves in the church caught up in worship and they're praying in tongues to God, then they are edifying themselves and not the church as a whole. in that situation there'd be no need for interpretation, because the word is for that individaul and not for the church as a whole. that's why the Bible says he who speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh unto God.

I speak in tongues, and speak as such when I don't know what to say. Many times our Lord has called on me to intercede for a person, and I have no idea what to pray for, and I used my tongue.

When you pray in tongues you know it is of our Lord because you will also feel it in you heart. Those who pray from the mind, beware of. Ususally those sort of people will become hesitant on words, and stammer. If it is of God, then there will be no stammering.

Also, they seem to repeat themself continually. God doesn't repeat HIMSELF!

when a person has just received this gift, they dont know as many words as those who have had this gift longer. gifts are built upon as they are exercised. that's with any gift. so its the same way with tongues. i was baptised in the Spirit a little over a year ago, and when i go to church i'm surrounded by more seasoned saints that have been speaking in tongues half they're lives, so they know way more words than i do. and also, tongues is an entirely different language from English. in English one word may have just one meaning, but in other languages sometimes a word may express a phrase or several thoughts, but the Spirit knows the interpretation. so it may sound like to us they are repeating the same words, but we dont know what the Spirit could be expressing throught that individual. and not all tongues are the same language either, so we really dont know what's being said unless God has graced us with the gift of interpretation of tongues, which is a whole other gift all by itself. so these are all things that we have to take into consideration with this gift.

another thing that should be considered is the order of the house. not all churches have the same rules regarding the exercising of spiritual gifts. some allow more room for the Spirit, and some are very strict. like some churches may let a prophet prophesy to people individually in public and to the congregation as a whole. but then other churches only allow individual prophesying in private. so the order and the structure of the house has to be looked at too. so there's a lot to take into consideration when it comes to spiritual gifts.

The counterfeit tongue is not as apparent as many people think it is. If your church is moving in The Holy Spirit strongly, such things will be cast out, or the evil in that person will push the person out of that church.

People are quick to label something false that they just can't understand, and just as quick to condemn anyone who is not like themselves. If you are going to move strongly for GOD, then you will need the baptism of The Holy Spirit which brings about these gifts.

If you are not worried about doing those things that Jesus told us to do, then plant yourself in a cessionalist type church and condemn everyone else that doesn't agree with you and your church doctrine.
