Speaking in tongues is a necessity for any christain..The bible says when you speak in tongues you speak the language only God can underastand..
The bible says in the book of Exodus that Moses' face was glowing after speaking with God that means that when you speak in tongues means you will be a light to this world

Speaking in tongues is compulsory for any christian who wants to live a victorious christian life in this age. When you speak in tongues, you speak in the wisdom of the most intelligent being in the universe. There are things God wants to do in the earth and through the church that we can't fully understand yet and even if we do understand it by the revelation of the Spirit, it will be impossible to fully articulate them in prayers using man-inspired words. Speaking in tongues is most perfect way to bring down God's kingdom and birth his purposes on the earth.

Secondly, life is like a maze. We don't know when to turn right or left or how far we should go in the direction we choose before we make another turn. It takes someone looking down from above on the maze to lead us out to the other side. When you speak in tongues, you pray with the wisdom of the one looking down from above on the maze of our lives. Without speaking in tongues, praying yourself out of challenges will be ten times as hard, coz you will only be praying generalized prayers like God help me.

Then thirdly, praying in tongues is the purest undefiled prayer we can pray into God's ears. In tongues, our understanding is unfruitful, our emotions are sidelined and our prejudices our suspended. Under this mode, we can pray God's will for our worst enemy and even people we think are most undeserving of our prayers. In tongues we superimpose God's will over our own carnal desires; infact the best way to say, 'Not my will but thy will be done' is to pray in tongues. You CANT pray amiss in tongues.

Not so, the bible says 'the spirit of a prophet is subject to a prophet'. God does not take us over the way evil spirits do, his spirit bears witness WITH our spirit, meaning he does whatever he does in us with the cooperation of our spirit. WE speak as HE gives the utterance. He doesn't just speak through us, we open our mouths and he supplies the utterance.
