The first instance as recorded in the Bible where the Apostles spoke in 'tongues' was on the day of Pentecost and it was clearly stated there that this became necessary because many foreigners who visited Jerusalem for the Passover feast needed to hear the Apostles preach the Gospel.
That was the purpose for the gift at that particular moment to enable the Apostles cater for that need.

What do you see among many self-righteous Christians today? They speak in gibberish language which they think is divine. In my assumptions, I think most of them either make it up or the devil is using such incantations to corrupt God's Message for the redemption of humanity.

I may be right or wrong. But what's your own assumption?

Please Moderator, can you move this to Front Page to attract more responses from readers?

One of the surest way to recognize a false pastor..

I think it is plane madness for a man to knowingly speak gibberish all in the name of speaking in tongues

Come to Jesus, you many will then know what you have been missing

When people do something and claim it serve the same purpose as what you have heard before, what should first come to your mind?

For instance, you see a person with sewing machine claiming he's a tailor shouldn't such a person present the clothes he has sewn before?
Well the purpose of speaking in tongues in the first century is to take the message Jesus (a first century Jew) delivered to few Jews and ordered them to pass it along until it reached all the earth! Act 1:8
Surely the first obstacle this Jews will encounter is language barrier, that's the reason why the first miracle that happened to the small group is a change in their tongues so that each of them spoke the language of people that visited Jerusalem that day! Act 2:1-4

So the purpose of speaking in tongues (according to what is found written in the Bible) is to pass the information to other people whose tongues differs.
Today Jehovah's Witnesses (Jesus real followers) have gone to all the nations and tongues throughout the earth so there's no language on this planet that you won't find a JW to PREACH and TEACH what Jesus commanded {Matthew 28:19-20} therefore do you still think there's any further need of speaking in tongues? 1Corinthians 13:8-10

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

Exactly how do you know it's gibberish? I Tongues is the language of the spirit and it helps us pray according to the will of the father.

It's gibberish to you since you don't understand. That doesn't mean God doesn't. It's the same way when you hear a German speak and you don't understand German(language) all you hear will be gibberish.

Foolish op . We have speaking in tongues and praying in tongues . Both are two different gifts mentioned in the Bible. Op only know speaking in tongues ( which is speaking in another human language). But he doesn't know about praying in tongues ( praying In heavenly language).

Tongue is the nonsense of the Holy Spirit. It doesn't add any value to humanity. It's just noise all along. It doesn't cure, heal or do anything notable to anyone. It is a big scam to humanity.

The world itself is a mystery.

We all speak in tongues. You are speaking via writing in one right now to wit, the English tongue.

Tongue means Natural Language.

Read what I said again.

I know what you had in mind and my point is we know the difference between a natural language even if it is strange and artificial fabricated one.

Don't you know that prophet Sex Award Winner (SAW) used to make animal noises when he was receiving Koranic verses from Satan We Trust (SWT)? Is that not the greatest form of gibberish possible?

You can not show me any bible portion that tell you this?
But I know there's a pastor or prophet that made you believe this.
When will you people stop following what your 'men of God' says and start following what your bible says?

Pls give me the portion of the Bible that talks about praying in tongues or praying in heavenly language.
I'm waiting...

1 Corinthians 14:14
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

Praying in an unknown tongue is a well known phenomenon.
