Read and confront spiritually >>>Speaking in tongues is nonsense as it is in Churches,who ever is speaking in tongues is an enemy of Jesus Christ ,we the kingdom of Jesus Christ,the power that be ,the ancient world condemn it and it's an authority of heaven of God of justice and if you have eyes to see by now you should have known who is talking powerfully about Jesus Christ kingdom that has come back to revenge and judge people of the whole world unknown to those speaking in tongues and claiming to know Jesus Christ. I have spoken and who ever feels threatened is free to challenge spiritually the world of justice. John 6,6.-68 . Tell this to your prophets and pastors and don't forget that in the realm of the spirit there is no distance so those who have eyes to see read us and know who is talking powerfully

Direct me to someone with the gift of interpretation.
That I may not know.

And I wasn't against you by the way, I never said you should start speaking in tongues without an interpreter, I only said some are blessed with the gift

Can this really be fake � I have seen people speak from oau hall to school gate. If you have been to OAU you will know how far that is.�
you are very correct.

Some even "skalbosh" from across the hostel to staff quarters to school road 1 gate and back to the sport complex to finalize it.

I am a Muslim but i believe speaking in tongue is real

There is some certain level you attain in spiritual realm where you learn what you hav not been taught it could be languages or some courses.

In Islam, there some great (Hustas) Alfa or scholars who learn from spiritual realm and they dont read to learn or read twice to assimilate. They can learn the content of a text book within 24 hours and they hav strong retentive memory. Some of these Islamic sheik (Scholars) speaks any language of any ethnics they visit with the help of their spiritual gift. Example of this in Nigeria is Sheik Adam Al-hilori. The founder of Adam islamic school at Agege, Lagos but originated from Ilorin.


In Christianity, especially pentecostal pastors like Cherubim and seraphim hav some great pastors who speaks in tongue and their language have meaning as they always have interpreters who understand the language. I hav came across some pastors who speaks Arabic language fluently and they can read Quran as well. I found out that they learn those languages from spiritual realm.


Unfortunately, majority of those who speaks in tongue now a days ar fake. They just want to prove or impress their victim inorder to convince them that they ar spiritually sound.

Learning to speak a foreign language from the spiritual realm shocked shocked shocked

Yhu don't really know much about, I see!

There's speaking in tongues of men, like an Ibo man being led to minister in Azari. . . and there's speaking in tongues of angels - which no one understands but God. .

Apostle Paul in Corinthians talked about the two types of tongue.

So, I believe in speaking in tongues of angels; I don't speak in tongues; so whether it's being faked or not, I can't tell. .

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?

SOURCE: TALK2BELLA



Beautiful question and beautiful story.
I'll only reply with scriptures
1. Jesus is the only way
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.cts 4:11-12
For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, ‘The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.’
There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”
2. Don't mix advancement in technology with the will of God, remember in Genesis they were building a skyscraper and the Lord stopped them. (Let's not go into that now.)
3.
1 Corinthians 14:2
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.


I'll recommend these books for you.

What is the essence of speaking in a language that no one understands?

One purpose of speaking in tongues is to serve as a sign to unbelievers. Imagine you have a message for unbelievers and you start speaking in tongues that are strange to them, would they get your message?

Ever wondered why Paul said that those who prophesy are greater than those who speak in tongues?

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.

Re: Do People Who Speak In Tongues Fake It Or Understand It? by BluntBoy(m): 1:54pm On Feb 10, 2019
Speaking in tongues is the most abused gift of the Spirit.

The idea that you can use it anyhow without considering the church is the very reason why it is so abused.

You will hear choir mistresses and masters reverting to strange tongues while ministering. You will hear pastors reverting to strange tongues as they preached or prayed for a person or the congregation.

Paul described this abuse as akin to speaking mysteries (that would be lost to the rest of the church).
What is the essence then if only God understands you? You should better speak it privately to God rather than wasting your saliva and disturbing the rest of the worshippers. Self-edification is not a bad thing, ordinarily.


This is unlike prophesying which edifies the church, rather than edifies the self.

He who prophesies is said to be greater than he who speaks in tongues (without an interpreter) because he who prophesies edifies the church while he who speaks in tongues without an interpreter edifies himself alone.

I can't comment on this tho, being a foursquarian doesn't mean you can't get marry to other churches but I still understand her a little. Catholic doctrine is way different from ours and it isn't easy to adapt to other doctrines.

I said speaking in tongue is a spiritual language, it doesn't imply that any communication with God should be speaking in tongue.

as an evangelist or pastor or gospel preacher or whatever u might call yourself, if u want to convince someone to believe in Christ, do u open the bible to share numerous passage where Jesus has done many wonderful things and the promise of him coming back to take his people? or u open your mouth and start abusing the person up and down , telling them their brain is block hence they will not understand the way of the spirit, if Jesus has come to the world through any of the African country, the mission would have failed before it begin(majority of the people that has oppose speaking in tongue has done so with a verse from the bible and here u are follower of christ, couldnt quote a single thing other than abusive world, what this means is you are one of those who just believe their pastors hook line and sinker, who never by chance or choice open the bible to really check what is in there , is it that your pastor can not lie to you ? when Jesus himself said in the end time many will come in his name spilling trash and many like you will believe and be deceived by them )
