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?

Only few who has the gift of understanding tongues that can understand their tongues and that of others. You can speak in tongues without understanding it.

It's like reciting a language you heard without understanding what it means. The owners of the language will definitely understand you without even knowing you are reciting what you learnt from someone without having a good knowledge of what you are saying.

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.

There is nothing more to say, this summarizes it all.

I no go that church afterwards

If they fake it don't you think they would have taught you how to speak in tongues that day?

If non of the pastors taught you how to, that means they didn't learn it either.

Speaking in tongues is REAL, though I do not believe this modern day speaking in tongues thingy. BUT what baffles me is why you hardly see such expisitory topics and intense arguments/refrain about islam on fridays. Can it be that the muslims do not know much about thier religion or they intentionally choose to keep mute about it?

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?

Speaking in a language no one understands is not of the Bible. . That's where the interpreter comes in. . So at least, one person understands what is being said; sadly we don't do that in many churches. . And that is a greater sign to unbelievers than just prophecy. But nevertheless, the fact that there is no interpreter doesn't mmake the gift fake, does it?

Back to yhur question: The essence of speaking in unknown tongues (mysteries) is to talk to God when yhu are alone, or prophesy in the church with the help of an interpreter

I only said some are blessed with the gift

If someone is blessed with the gift..... whatever he/she says will be understood by whoever is listening..... no need for interpreter..... as on the Day of Pentecost. If a guy from China is blessed with the gift.... stands on a box in the middle of Maza Maza Bus Stop and begins to preach in Mandarin..... those listening who understand Igbo...Yoruba...Hausa or whatever language/dialect only will understand what he is saying. If they can't...then he doesn't have the gift......and they will all gang up and get tyre and petr.... ehmmm.... let me shut up.

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. .

SPEAKING IN TONGUES OF ANGELS, ONLY UNDERSTOOD BY GOD AND ANGELS, NOT TRANSLATABLE TO HUMAN UNDERSTANDING. SO WHAT'S THE POINT? HOW DOES IT MAKE CHRISTIANS FEEL GOOD WHEN THEY WILLINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY DECEIVE THEMSELVES??
I'M TIRED.

You said all tongues in the bible were understood by those around but that is not true. Only at the pentecost did that happen.

There's something called Gift of Interpretation of Tongues, thereby the church receives the message that the person speaking in tongues is trying to pass across. capische?

I said that also, I didn't say an interpreter is a necessity. I said people who speak in tongue interpret themselves sometimes, esp when it's in the midst of the congregation but that doesn't mean people can't speak in tongue without interpretation(although that's personal) and it doesn't mean they are fake

And again someone might be blessed with the spirit and not be the one who receives the message. But if someon is blessed with the gift, an interpreter isn't needed.

What I'm trying to say is that there is the gift of interpretation of tongues which is for everyone

wow

so churches actually do send peeps to some school of speaking in tongues? grin

How worse can this get. Doctrines of demons that is.

Pls if your church is into that, it is very very very unbiblical. Come out from aming them o. That is a serious fallacy that is not from God. grin

Oluwa sanu wa.

So you enter a school, pay a fee and then you get a coach to teach you how to speak in tongues?

Or you are told to just blurt out whatever your mind thinks at that moment? Shuu. My ribs wan crack.

Chai.

See lemme just say this.... We have many intellectuals in the church than before, but they are more stupider(permit me) more foolish than Christians of the 70s and the 80s that were bent on studying and searching the scripture.

Shamefully, we have Followers of Mem of God than what the Bible says. Yawnnnnnnnnns.
