jonbellion:

What are you saying
I just put it in a way you guys would understand since that's your belief
I was a christian once you know

jonbellion:
so you don't actively go to church

Ranchhoddas:
I have also fallen under the anointing more than once in different places. What exactly is the point of it? You just fall and get up and life goes on.

Emmanystone:

How did it happen? I mean before you started speaking or basking.

naijadeyhia:


The Point is not the falling. The point is the cause of it. Did anyone push you down? it wasnt your physical body actually falling. It was your physical body responding to the reaction from your spirit in the presence of the holy spirit.

The point is for you to know that there is one that is greater than you and whom you need and it is meant to make you desire to know him. Its not a show its an invitation

Omudia11:
You were a church goer, not a christian! Now give us scientific proof of hypnotism through air blowing.

jizzus:

Firstly they fined tuned me with verses from the Bible........then they set the atmosphere with some nice songs(yes those gospel songs are nice)then everyone else started speaking it........motivation talks of "its in Ur belly just speak it out" more melodious music........adrenaline rush and the the fact that everyone else was saying something I muttered some words and voila you've been filled with the holy ghost

In conclusion :
[b[How to get filled with the holy ghost [/b]
1. Tell them stories of others who have received the holy spirit.

2. Fill the atmosphere with sonorous and melodious tunes(very necessary )

3. Give them the "its in your belly" push

Ranchhoddas:
Some people appear to be more receptive to this anointing than others i.e they are consistent 'fallers'. Does this mean they are getting more invites?

Emmanystone:

Again, you didn't say that.
Do you remember Urheme? He was an Atheist here, just like you. He also said they were no demons. Ask him now will you?

Omudia11:
What fell you down? You were hypotised too? If yes, prove it scientifically.

Seun:

The video suggests that some Christians do not consciously concoct nonsense words when they speak in tongues. For those Christians, the tongues come from their subconscious minds while they are emotionally aroused. Those Christians are under a genuine and honest delusion.

naijadeyhia:


No its just the way they are. Same way some eat more food than others consistently. All in all there is a reaction inwardly which shows outwardly.

Ranchhoddas:
So it's a reaction and nothing else. The pastors are usually shouting 'receive it! receive it!' so I always assumed that the 'fallers' were receiving something until I started falling and did not receive anything. I started getting suspicious.

naijadeyhia:



when did I say I wanted to disbelieve anything? So sharr this your holy spirit experience with me if you would.

tintingz:
Don't worry.

urheme:







one day he will find out that there are lots that hospitals can't explain, people still die in the hospital......

naijadeyhia:


You have none. You should have said this from the start.

jonbellion:
have what??
A holy spirit encounter
Lol I'm only 24 maybe it's not too late
Ooooor maybe there just isn't anything like that atall and y'all are just decirving yourselves. I go with the latter though
Why would the holy spirit make you to be convulsing upandan and scattering yourself on the floor
Is that not madness
Can't he come in a sane way

naijadeyhia:


See why i said you are hovering like a vulture? You are responding to a comment not directed at you. Are you tintinz?

At the bolded, speaking in tongues DID NOT SHOW any frontal lobe activity in the study shown in the video.

Medical tests, including a brain scan, came up normal. EEG revealed normal neural activity during a resting state. But…

Attempts were then made to reproduce the arm jerking. Ms A did not feel comfortable speaking in tongues aloud during the EEG because she thought it disrespectful to record this phenomenon. However she was willing to enter into a meditative state in which she prayed silently in tongues. When she did so, she appeared very relaxed, possibly even in light sleep. After several minutes of silent glossolalia, electrical discharges would begin to emanate from the right posterior temporal region

Now, Neurocase has in the past published some rather dubious religious-experience EEG data; in that case, I’m pretty sure the ‘temporal lobe spikes’ were just a recording artefact. This time around, it looks real enough. The fact that the suspicious signal came from the right temporal lobe also fits with the woman’s left arm jerks, because the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body.

However, so what? These kind of results are always intriguing, but this one should serve as a reminder that brain activity can be caused by behaviour, as well as causing it.



This case doesn’t show that glossolalia in general has anything to do with electrical abnormalities. It doesn’t even show that this woman’s speaking in tongues was caused by a neurological lesion. Ms A had been glossolating (?) for years before the arm movements started, after all, and it’s quite likely that there was no EEG abnormality before then either. Even once the unusual activity started, it was only triggered when she chose to enter into a glossolalia state.

The Seun Delusion. smh

Thanks for responding even though your comments are always predictable even in the face of scientific evidence which you so crave for.

You admit that some Christians do not consciously concoct words which is a good thing then you went full kamikaze when you switched to emotional arousal and delusion.

Can you show me how actions from ones subconscious would evade triggering brain activity? Even when we dream (dreams are part of our subconscious) science shows our brain is actively involved so how did this particular "subconscious" action evade that?

I want us to now use science to answer science Seun. I can show you proof of brain activity spiking during the use of ones subconscious. Can we do this Seun?

Seun:
When I gave my life to Christ at Foursquare Gospel Church, I was in JSS 1. After we said the sinner's prayer, our Sunday School teacher tried to get us baptised in the Holy Spirit. I was waiting for the Holy Spirit to descend on me and make me speak in tongues, but I didn't feel anything. Most of the girls started speaking in tongues, but I got nothing. I earnestly and sincerely ask God for it, but nothing happened.

[b]When I got to Ife and started attending ECU, the fellowship my parents attended, we had to take a membership class and my teacher and his best friend also tried to get me baptised in the Holy Spirit to no avail. I remember them taking me to the sports center and praying with me and urging me to speak. I patiently waited for the Holy Spirit to descend on me but nothing happened. Then they had to explain that speaking in tongues is by faith. God supplies the word, and we speak them out, they said. To me it sounded as if they were encouraging me to fake it, and suggesting that everyone fakes it, but I just couldn't accept that. I wanted to experience it genuinely, like the apostles did in the bible.

So one day, as I was praying very intensely in my room, I felt a subtle urge to start saying some nonsense words that came to my mind, and I did. And once I started, I found that new words came to my mind and I could continue speaking them. That's how I started speaking in tongues. In my fellowship, it was common for the pastors to ask everyone to start speaking in tongues during worship; now I could join in! But it was also a bit of a disappointment because the experience was emotional, not supernatural. The Holy Spirit didn't take over my body.[/b]

When I was re-watching Sinach's video to transcribe her tongues, I actually felt the urge to speak in tongues again. I think listening to the beautiful way she sang the tongues triggered something in me. I bet I can still speak in tongues today if I choose to succumb to the feeling.

naijadeyhia:
Thank you for admitting that your experience was emotional and not spiritual
