Mr_Anony:
Actually I know of an old illiterate woman in a church I attended when I was back in Enugu who only speaks Igbo and cannot speak a word of English but whenever she prays in tongues, she prophesies in English.

I have also heard the testimony of a muslim who came to Enugu for a conference and while the church was praying, a particular brother was praying in tongues and speaking in Hausa and this muslim (now ex-muslim) was listening to him and asking questions in his heart while the brother who was speaking in tongues was giving him direct answers to the thoughts in his heart. That is how the guy got saved from Islam and came to Christ. Mind you, the guy that was praying did not know how to speak Hausa at all.

I can tell you about the first day I spoke in tongues. I remember consciously trying not to speak but whenever I opened my mouth, the words came bubbling out. I remember going down on my knees and crying because I was a skeptic and it had only been about a few weeks since I came to the knowledge of Christ but the Holy Spirit chose to give me an experience that cleared all doubt for me.

ooman: Tongues and visions!! you are only hallucinating, there is no God. If you are hallucinating more than you should, then you have hurt your brain with the religious crap so much that you are going crazy. See a doctor!

Do you hear voices wiegraf? Do you receive messages from these voices?

davidque007: its very real, but always remember that a non-spiritual person CANNOT understand it, its follishness to the carnal man, so trying to explains it or proove its existence to a carnal person is a waste. Only proofs will make people believe in this age

What flavor of stoopid is this? Explain to me why these questions oh deluded one?

Willy7: As a christian and active worshiper,i've witnessed and most times experienced the diverse gifts of the Holy Spirit as listed in 1 cor.12:7-12,but i'm yet to even see one person manifesting the gift of interpretation of tongues recorded in the verse 10 of the said chapter.I'm having the thought that after the pentecost,such gift never existed again.Today we hear so many kinds of tongues been spoken,but nobody interprets or can tell what its been spoken,not even the speaker.And this leaves me with the question,Have you ever seen or witnessed this gift in operation before? Please no insults,i need matured inputs.Thanks

realsammie:
Can not understand what u call all those rabababa sheborebashe speaking in tongue. SMH. I am still waiting for those that can speak in HEBREW, LATIN etc like the early apostles did because the Bible said that they were speaking in the peoples own languages and not the crap u guyz are spitting out
Acts 2:6

mygirrl:

You cannot say that someone is speaking rubbish just because what you can hear is gibberish, let God be the judge after all it is him we are trying to communicate with. I remember the first day I ever spoke in tongues. I told God that I don't want to talk rubbish but that he should make me know that it is indeed from him. I remember we were told to lift up our hands and just talk to Jesus, while I was saying thank you Father for a beautiful day and so on, suddenly a very powerful but light wind/force pushed me to the ground, I started rolling and when I opened my mouth to say you are the alpha and the omega a different language came out. It felt as if my tongue was loosed and I started talking I kept on speaking in this strange language for over an hour. If I try to speak in English, a different language will come out

mulumele: Jesus said,"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you".
Some of these topics being brought up for debates and comments in this forum full of atheists and mockers only lead to blasphemy.These should be rather discussed among Christians.
Just my opinion.

Evil Brain:
I kept looking for someone who'd start speaking Cantonese or some other foreign tongue. Instead, all I kept hearing was "rabababa mamamama shokoraba" Even a 10 year old can tell the difference between a strange language and gibberish.

Tunby: Its relatively easier to speak with tongues than to interprete.Paul urged the corinthian church not just to pray in tongues but to prophecy(1cor14:5,39).Interpretation of tongues only takes a mature mind that is knowledgeable and has exercised himself enough in spiritual things.Just as natural things, spiritual things can be practiced and mastered.Many today are too lazy and busy to do spiritual exercises.Now tongues are not human language(1cor14:2,14) 'no man understandeth him'.Also there are two kinds of people that think tongues are crazy:1- The unbeliever. 2- The unlearned(spirituall illiterate) christian 1cor14:23.

Bidam: point of correction sir! U don't ave to be a matured xtian to be able to interprete tongues..the corinthian folks paul was speaking to were carnal(baby xtians)..yet they manifested the gifts of d Spirit though in a disorderly manner..the friuts of d Spirit is expressed in all believers as they grow in grace and knowledge but the gifts of the Spirit is instantaneous...there is also a difference between ministry gifts(five fold ministry) and devotional gifts of tongues
