Yeah tongues, not tounges thanks.
I dated a gal a couple decades ago who belonged to a nondenominational church some of which practiced what they called speaking in tongues, which to me sounded like gibberish, but according to them,was understood by the holy spirit. I thought that they had said they took this from the pentecostal sect. If I'm wrong on that that is what the pentecostal speaking in tongues is please accept my apology in advance and ..... enlighten me....Please.

Posted: 5/10/2007 10:26:28 AM | I've met some of the "speaking in tongues" folks... weird... and full of it.
I was at the county fair and they had a booth there. They REALLY wanted to bug me and get me to stop there and find out information about why "their" Church is right and nobody else's is... and I told them that I'm not Christian, and one of them wanted to "bless" me and "pray" for me so I would find Jesus Christ and make a big deal out of it to try to entice people into being interested in their Church (you know, put on a show)... and she closed her eyes and held her hands out and said:
"Da, da, da, da, daaa, da, da, daa, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da........." and went on and on...
I said, "Are you F-ing kidding me?" I walked away...
Of all the loons I've ever met... that was among the craziest.
Maybe Charley Brown's teacher was "speaking in tongues"???

Posted: 5/10/2007 10:28:37 AM | | From what I've gleened on the subject, speaking in tongues was to spread the good word to the people, not the holy spirit. It was the holy spirit from inside the speaker that was making the speaker speak in differant language(s) of the audience or area. There was suppose to be a interpeter also. I once was subjected to the screams of a room full of so called speakers in tongues, all it was, was a hall of babel. Now if the speaker was speaking with the holy spirit from within it would be understood by all and the room would then be filled with the holy spirit. That's my tongue on the subject, does it make any sense. | |

that makes total sense and it's what I've also understood from that passage. I've been to many different churches of which some have espoused the praying in tongues en masse, and I tellya it put me right off, what would a nonbeliever think of it? With all the incoherent screeching going on, one would naturally peg the crowd as somewhat psychotic. I don't how God would view that as an attraction... | |

Exactly and thats exactly what it is. It is communicating the Gospel in KNOWN languages to the local populations in that area. For example there were Egyptians, Greeks, Elamites, Phrygians, Arabs and others , and the speaking in tongues was basically speaking in THOSE LANGUAGES and not some ecstatic utterances.

Posted: 5/16/2007 6:44:48 AM | In Acts on Pentecost Sunday, they speak in known tongues to the people from many different countries, and they understood Peter and the others.
In Sydney some Jews walked past a Pentecostal meeting and heard the brothers speaking in Hebrew.
But some tongues are said to be angels' languages hellish spirits cannot understand, that prayers can be said that are not acted against with the knowledge of the requests.
Speaking in tongues can be interpreted for edification and direction and encouragement of a believer or interested person from the world.
Some interpret for themselves at home.
And praying in tongues for unbelievers does freak them out, and they think it weird, along with emotionalism, such as people expressing their love for Jesus crying, and mass tongues is not welcoming. Contemporary Pentecostal services are welcoming and explain these things later and aside. Prophecy is more dynamic and interesting, as someone tells you your troubles ,whom you never met before, and encourages regarding obtaining peace and friendship with god's spirit... | |

Thanks for the responses.
See, the idea that it was speaking in the languages
of the nearby locals was what I took from KJV that I have as a reference. I just couldn't
see the connection or transition to the unintelligible that seems to be all that is left of it
nowadays. Funny how these things get started, 40 to 4000 interpretations and your supposed to believe it's real and yet the myriad of puporters can't agree on only 10 versions, much less just 1. It only leaves me to ....go figure..?

Tongues, Gift of
GRANTED ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST (Acts 2:4), in fulfillment of a promise Christ had made to his disciples (Mark 16:17). What this gift actually was has been a subject of much discussion. Some have argued that it was merely an outward sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit among the disciples, typifying his manifold gifts, and showing that salvation was to be extended to all nations. But the words of Luke (Acts 2:9) clearly show that the various peoples in Jerusalem at the time of Pentecost did really hear themselves addressed in their own special language with which they were naturally acquainted (compare Joel 2:28, 29).
Among the gifts of the Spirit the apostle enumerates in 1 Cor. 12:10—14:30, “divers kinds of tongues” and the “interpretation of tongues.” This “gift” was a different manifestation of the Spirit from that on Pentecost, although it resembled it in many particulars. Tongues were to be “a sign to them that believe not.” | |

Posted: 5/29/2007 11:43:59 PM | | Many of the churchs got it wrong, you must have a translator when speaking in tounges, you just cant go out in a rampage babbling in a tounge no one else understands, I left a church because they didnt follow the teachings of the aposoles on the art of speaking tounges. This whole speaking in tounges business is a penatacost thing and I did research and found out that the pentacostal church stemed from a "holy rollar" church where people handle venomous snakes and drank poison thinking the holy spirit would save them, but they did amit there have been deaths due to the snakes and poison, hence they said not everyone can have the holy spirit. | |

speaking in tongues:
and when three or more are gathered in his name(Jesus)
there will be chosen among them, one interpretor to reveal the
message spoken!
It is not a language of this world....but of the next!

How 'bout next time, you use your own words to explain something, instead of copy-pasting quotes without any sort of context or reference. Anybody can do that: if you feel a scripture proves your point, tell us why.
I don't often say this, but:

Posted: 6/1/2007 8:13:24 PM | | Simply unbelievable the mockery that goes on here in these threads. I generally have not perused the section on religion but since I have I have found so many people filled with hate casting their hypocritical accusations toward christians and their beliefs. Some of you atheist and agnostics all try to say how tolerant you are of others religions while blasting the christian faith. You are nothing more than filled with venom waiting for the strike. | |

Posted: 6/1/2007 8:45:44 PM | i was like alot of people being freaked out when i first seen people "speaking in tounge"
and quite some time after seeing that it more. i thought they were nuts=or putting on a act-but---when it happened to ME- i changed my opinion-because i knew i wasnt putting on a show, and at first it was a bit strange to me=but it is such an amazing experience, not easily to explain-if you have never had the experience- the bible says speaking in tounge is a gift= and god,jesus,and the holy spirit are ONE- meaning god, the father,son,holy spirit- known as the trinity- it is not something you can make happen, and it doesnt happen all the time- i've experienced over a dozen times in 7 years i've been saved. if you dont believe in every word of the bible=you cant-- understand or believe. It is a choice=to believe or not to. but when you have the experience, it is amazing, and you feel so good-relaxed,happy afterwards- i do not discuss this subject with family,or anyone who is determined to believe it is not real-
we all are entitled to our opinions-beliefs-i'm not one to force mine on others-but i cant say its not real, when i have experienced it-but it is the most amazing, experience i've ever had. | |

Posted: 6/1/2007 8:56:34 PM | Black Knight, if you actually look at the responses that most of the "non-faithful" post up, its not like anyone is singling out christianity. ALL religions get their dose of the "venom". It also doesn't help when people of whatever religion come in here quoting scripture and standing on their moral soapbox.
You ever see the "athiests and agnostics" attacking the pagan's on here? Nope, and would you like to know why? Its because all the pagan people are relaxed and generally don't shove their religion in the face of the world in such an offensive way. 99% of the religion bashing that goes on in this forum is purely reactionary. Its brought on because of how the faithful go about wording their posts. Its brought on by the smug, self righteous attitude. Its brought on by their own intolerance and bigoted views. | |
