Do People Who Speak In Tongues Fake It Or Understand It?  https://plugblog.com.ng/do-people-who-speak-in-tongues-fake-it-or-understand-it/ I have always been spiritual than religious, i believe God is an entity who cannot be reached through a single source, he’s like a firm rooted tree with sprouted branches. We all say we worship same God then why do we feel our religion is the only and direct source to him? Recently my neighbor came to preach to me, he’s been on my neck ever since i told him i wasn’t religious and wouldn’t attend his church. The day he came to preach we argued and argued, i told him God cannot be worshiped through a single source, if you invite me to a mosque i will attend, if you invite me to an Osun festival i will attend i don’t have to attend a church because i am seeking God. I told him God gave us freewill to think, he gave us scientists and doctors and plastic surgeons, he gave us pharmacists and medicines, he wanted us to know there was more to him thats why we discovered other universes, thats why we can clone a human thats why we ca do IVF, thats why we can do inter sex change and etc. I reminded him that Christians see Muslims as unbelievers and Muslims see Christians as infidels, none of them are right of course but what do they know. He told me to repent that hell is real, i told him i have seen hell, i have seen the rapture more times than i can count, i told him not to believe everything he read in the bible as it was written by human beings like us, he got up looked at me and said “Na God hand u de” lol. Now back to my question, i get fascinated when people speak in tongue, in some churches if you dont speak in tongues u never belong, i had a flatmate in my hundred level then who stays with her boyfriend, after dem nack finish you go hear her then speak in tongue lol. During the halleluyah challenge, i was praying, crying, in spirit, whenever i pray to God i cry, because i feel his awesomeness through me, even when im singing praises, during this time i was praying i found myself speaking a language i do not understand, i was scared so i stopped lest i blasphemed, i continued praying and it started again, but i couldnt understand what i was saying so i stopped again. Dear christians, when you speak in tongues do you understand what you’re talking about? i thought some people were gifted with interpreting this speaking in tongues while others spake it? how come we have less interpreters and more speakers?

Interesting. . I do believe in tongues. . But whether it's being faked or not, I can't tell. . MODIFIED: Speaking in unknown tongues is real; it's not possible to tell if a person is faking it since no one understands it, but God. . That being said, I think the real question here should be "Do People Who Speak in Tongues Do It According To The Bible's Teaching?" Most of the times, the answer is 'NO'... I attended a church and at a point, we were instructed to pray in the Holy Ghost; I've also seen preachers who argue that speaking in tongues is a sign to show that yhu've received the Spirit, therefore, it is a must to speak in tongues.. What does the Bible actually say about speaking in tongues in the church? In Corinthians, Apostle Paul said that we should desire more the gift of prophecy (which could be likened to speaking in tongues of men), than the gift of unknown tongues. . Because the gift of prophecy edifies the people who are listening (the whole church) but the gift of tongues edifies only the person saying it (as people won't know when to say amen).. He said that he speaks in tongues more than the rest of the members, but in the church, he would rather say five words of understanding that a thousand in unknown tongue. . He also said that there must be an interpreter if ever anyone is being led to speak in unknown tongues so that the crowd will understand what the person is saying. . He went further to instruct that only ONE person should speak in unknown tongue at a time (as unbelievers might think they are mad if everyone starts saying what they don't understand with no one to interpret)... But sadly, some Pentecostals don't like the chapter as it condemns women speaking in church. . P.S. I dedicate my first FTC since 2013 to Osayuwa P, happy birthday love. . And also to my 400L CPE brethren 20 Likes 1 Share |

You neither fake it nor understand it. You're speaking to God, only him understands. First Corinthians 14:2 says, “For he who speaks in a ‘tongue’ addresses God, not man; no one understands him; he is talking of divine secrets in the Spirit” 30 Likes 2 Shares |

It is always faked. They believe that when you speak in tongues (read gibberish) that you are advancing spiritually. That's utterly laughable. The disciples of Christ according to the bible spoke in tongues. I.e, they spoke their own language and others who didn't understand Aramaic (the language Jesus spoke when he was on earth) heard them in their own different tongues. 66 Likes 2 Shares |

dguyindcorner: Just like many Christians, you have no idea of what speaking in tongues mean. When you speak in tongues during corporate worship, especially when you are making a public prayer and you start speaking in a tongue that no one can interpret to the rest of the church, then you have just spoken to the air. Gifts of the spirit is not to edify just the person that possesses it. It is to edify the whole church that is why the gift of speaking in tongues always goes hand in hand with the gift of interpretation. Speaking in a tongue that no one in the church understands is babel (Remember the Tower of Babel?) God gave the gift of speaking in tongues to make messages easier to pass across without the restrain of language barrier (Remember when the Apostles spoke in tongues and everyone listening heard in their own native tongues). Without the miracle of speaking in tongues, only a few natives would have heard the disciples. The Bible says that it is better to keep silent in church than to speak in tongues without an interpreter. 65 Likes |

It is meaningless. Nothing to fake, nothing to understand. It's just gibberish. I attended a pentecostal church and learnt the trick. It's just common pure gibberish. I swear. 41 Likes 4 Shares |

One time during Pentecost Sunday mass several years ago, the officiating priest told us that if whatever tongue the person is speaking can't be understood as a language, then it's total bs. When the apostles received the holy spirit, they spoke in different languages that people understood. A good number of people fake that tongue speaking today. Especially in sub Saharan Africa where we dey carry Christianity for head 22 Likes 1 Share |

95% Fraud of the Christiandom By the way I'm a Christian. For instance how can you be in a musical studio that you will have to take your line a couple of times and be speaking in tongue in your music record? Infact that's the trend in the Christian Music Industry now you must speak in tongue in your recording.. absolute scam. 16 Likes |
