The story of pentecost in the Bible shows us how speaking in tongues started. The holy spirit caused fire to descend on the apostles and gave them the ability to speak in the languages of people that were actually around them.

Today, Christians have used it to further their holier-than-thou attitudes with babblings that nobody around understands(unlike in the bible).

ok, so you are filled with the holy spirit and you can speak in the other tongues, we have heard you now show us the fire



Acts 2:1-14
" When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” "

They claimed to have peace of mind and freed from the shackles of religion. Yet, their soul & body is tied to it—they talked, eat, think and sing religion!

Bunch of deluded and pitiable souls.......

Actually, we are just having fun. But seriously when are your top pastors going to start showing us the fire when they speak in tongues?

Speaking in tongues is the laziest display of spiritual empowerment possible. And that's why modern Christians have opted for it. They cant move mountains; they can't even move pebbles. They can't do any of those things that were promised as signs to be exhibited by them that believe. And the only time they attempt to do those signs are dubious stage showmanship by men of the cloth in controlled environments that lead to results and wild claims that cannot be vetted.
But not tongues. A continuous utterance of free-flowing gibberish can be pulled off by almost anyone. Never mind the fact that none of them seem to possess the linguistic structure most any other language has. To show u how easy and lazy speaking in tongues is, the Christ Embassy guys can grab a random guy on the street and force him to spit out gibberish then proclaim him filled with the holy ghost. All within 10 minutes.
As for the fire, don't hold ur breath. Modern Christian speaking in tongues is as empty as monkeys squawking.
