If u pray in tongues unknown to you, who are you communicating with. Or is the god you communing with don't understand the tongues you understand and speak fluently?...
The scripture has made it self clear that God is not an author of confusion so any unknown tongues spoken in the gathering of two or three in the presence of God must be interpreted to the hearing and understanding of everyone.
Uninterpreted spoken tongues is of the devil and scripturally i can prove it over and over again to you.
We black people we are good in quoting the scripture but understanding it is the difficult thing because we want to understand the scripture base on our ideology forgetting that the scripture says " the word of God is revealing". In proverbs 3:5 the Wise King Solomon strictly instructed his son to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto thy own understanding of things". In other words he was telling his son that if his education, idea, knowledge etc is contrary to the Word of God, he should lean to the Word of God and let go his Education, idea, knowledge. Though it's not a bad to aquire education, idea and knowledge it's a good thing and will help you to meet people of great intellect and also make living a little better for you but the Word of God is Life and to know it is Life and God say you should know Him for He is the Word. I always Believed that when we die God will not require from us our education, knowledge, idea or degree but what he will require from us is our understanding of God's Word while we were alive.

Have you equally read Romans 8:26-27? Or just dey condemn wetin u non know

Don't you think that will even cause more confusion in the body of Christ, hence the need for moderation.

Moderation by who?

It's ignorant pride. They want to tell their listeners that they have Holy Spirit and their song is inspired. It has also become a trend.

I'm sure you don't choose so you also believe what the devil says in the Bible right? I'm also sure you believe every tongue is genuine so the same questions you asked go back to you, how do you know they're all genuine?

You must have been there and saw when the Holy Ghost was giving it to them right? You must have also seen Him giving it to me when I was speaking nonsense despite being truly born again because of such ignorant man-made ideas and doctrine of men in the church?

The disciples who Jesus said that to didn't just start uttering gibberish nonsense in the name of speaking in tongues as most do today but they patiently waited and the difference was clear.

That's the difference between that church and this!

The case of the disciples speaking in tongues on the day of Pentecost is different from other days when some of them ministered and people were speaking in an unknown tongues.

That is not true

Techstar:
At times, when I sing in private, I start singing in tongues too, not consciously, the Spirit gives me utterance. It is also possible that when some ministers are recording their songs in high Spirit-filled atmosphere, they too can break in tongues. I spent 20yrs of my Christian life insulting those who speak in tongues. Two years ago, I was singing with all my heart, after sometime, I realised I was no longer singing in English but in tongues, I felt so much peace, since then I've been speaking in tongues. Please, I beg you all in the Name of God, don't be like my past self insulting the Precious Holy Spirit and His precious gift of speaking in tongues. If you have never experienced it, just pray for Him to reveal Himself to you. He had mercy on me and showed me Grace even though, I never prayed for one day to speak in tongues.

Pls what is the essence of speaking in a tongue you don't understand? And nobody around you understand.

It doesn't make sense to me.

And FYI the first place speaking in tongue was recorded in history, there were people around that understood the language.

If you are conversant with the modern-day gospel music industry, you would have noticed a sudden surge of unknown tongues in many gospel songs from gospel artists of mostly black descent. This sudden development in my opinion is worthy of serious interrogation as the Bible says that we should test all spirits so as know which is of God [1 John 4:1].

The gospel songs I knew while growing up emphasized godly living using language(s) that can be understood. The hymns for example are written in plain language(s) and one can attest to the fact that those songs are divinely inspired and spirit-filled. Meanwhile, the present crops of gospel music raving the moment are mostly incorporated with unknown tongues and spiritual chants that can not be understood by anyone and yet we have not found a single interpreter to interpret the tongues in these popular songs. I believe that in itself negates the fundamental injunction stated by Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:27.

I have been to megachurches in several regions of Nigeria where I have heard worship leaders repeating the same tongues in these popular gospel records verbatim and I get confused each time. Damn! Something is wrong somewhere. It's almost impossible to hear a gospel record these days without hearing an unknown tongue in it. Could that be the latest marketing strategy to sell gospel records?

Yes! I believe in tongues but I also believe that not all spirit-filled Christians must speak in tongues. Some operate in other gifts like prophecy, Discernment, word of knowledge, words of wisdom, walking of miracles e.t.c [1 Corinthians 12:4-11]. it is the spirit that distributes these gifts but I wonder while the present church places much emphasis on tongues. Well, maybe that's because tongues are the easiest to fake. Maybe I said.

Now to my honest questions:

1. If speaking in tongues only edifies the one who speaks it and not the body of Christ as it is in 1 Corinthians 14:4, why will any gospel musician incorporate an unknown tongue in his or her song lyrics for the body of Christ?

2. Where exactly is it written in the Bible that Christians should sing in tongues? Is there anywhere in the Bible the Apostles did? I know pentecostal christians will mention 1 Corinthians 14:15 but is that what Apostle Paul was really saying in that passage?

3. Why were the ancient gospel songs not incorporated with unknown tongues as we have now? Could it be that modern Christian worship has been hijacked by strange spirits?

Above are my reservations about the sudden proliferation of unknown tongues in modern gospel music. I will appreciate answers with biblical reference(s) to my questions in the comment section.

Thanks!

I was following your narration oooo, until I got to the part where you wrote, "NOT ALL SPIRIT-FILLED CHRISTIANS MUST SPEAK IN TONGUES", I went off there.

You are wrong.
Speaking in Tongues as a sign of the baptism of the Holy Ghost is a MUST for all spirit filled Christians. You can't be spirit filled and not speak or pray in other Tongues. Not possible.
Moreover, the speaking in divers Tongues is a gift of the Spirit...not every one should. This is not the same as the Tongues you speak when you are filled with the Holy Ghost or when you pray in other Tongues. Pls note it.

Stop mixing them togeether.

These n!ggars mumble!

Most of the tongue thing is purely fake let me say its entertainment purpose only.

So what was Apostle Paul saying in 1 Corinthians 12:30 where he ask that, does all speak in tongues? In fact he even went further in 1 Corinthians 14:5 that he would prefer that believers prophesy because he that speaks in tongues edify himself but he that prophesy edifies the church.

What's your take on that?

Daniel interpreted Mene Mene etc after all the wise men in Babylon had failed to? These wise are picked from all races of the world, just the way Daniel found himself in Babylon. So if Mene was a known language, why Was Daniel called for SPECIALLY? Why did the king promise to reward him specially for cracking an existing language?
When Jesus said Eloi, why did those present think he was calling on Elijah? Is dat they didn’t understand Aramaic? or Yiddish or Greek? Same thing too Tali Takumi and Ephatha. There meaning come only to us via the gift of interpretation of tongues. In vain is all the fake worldly scholars attempting to prove they were all local languages

Illiterate just like the typical brainwashed sheep, they are hebrew and aramaic language.
Eloi is a common hebrew word meaning “my god”, which verse did they think it was “elijah”?

Daniel interpreted it to a meaning not “mene mene”. The king was looking for who to interpret it to a meaning not the “exact words” dummy!

What's your take on that?

Well, let's try and understand Paul's take on this subject. Firstly, he was writing to the Corinthians, and the Corinthian church was by far the most spiritually gifted church as at that time. That's why, most of the matters pertaining to spiritual gifts were mostly addressed in the letters to them.
It was a case of disorderliness, even in the church. They were all gifted by the Spirit...but there was no order among them. Hence Paul was trying to address that issue, and also had to chip in the issue of LOVE which is far impartant than all the gifts...just for them to "calm down and be orderly".
Speaking or praying in the Hoky Ghost, is not a gift of the Spirit. It's an evidence, a sign, a proof that a Christian has been baptized of the Holy Spirit. Paul, encouraged that, we should be able to "put it under control", while in the church or a spiritual gathering...cos we may, have other people who are not yet baptized and may not be able to flow along that path with us, hence, PROPHESYING! - to benefit the whole church.
Remember, even Paul said, "Thank God that I speak in Tongues more than ye all"...
But you won't catch him now blasting in Tongues because he can, everywhere he is, while people not "benefiting" from his teachings, or misnitrations.

I hope you get this now?

If you are a christian that is filled with the holyspirit.then your spirit would testify to you which of the tongues is of God or carnal. if you have the gift of tongues.not the one they learn or teach in some churches.then you can know the difference.genuine tongues edifys the spirit man.its a spirit to spirit connection. and i assure you that tongues are very important and powerful too.the few tongues i listened to in songs and i know they are genuine are;spirit pray by elijah oyelade,song of angels by mercy chinwo os so.drop it at my feet by bomah,and donnie mcclurkin.etc

Because if you had the spirit in you, even if you don't interpret the tongues, you should be able to discern its source, and tell if its appropriate or not

Oga or madam I'm not here to point out scripture verse to you, what I'm try to say here is that there two spirit running the spiritual affairs of this world " spirit of truth and spirit of lies" and anything contrary to the spirit of truth " unscriptural" is from the spirit of lies which is of the devil just as the spirit of truth is of God.

8 And all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation of it.

An Aramaic king cudnt read an Aramaic writing on the wall? His linguists cudnt either, so they had to call a man in whom is the spirit of the gods? U have to explain how suddenly everyone cudnt understand Aramaic in that room

Truly, it's a thing of concern, and it's should be balanced. And thats where the musicians should strictly yeild to the leading of the Holy Spirit at all time, even while they sing.
To me, it's not all the songs I listen to. In fact, because you chanted or sang in Tongues, doesn't mean, I will listen to you. There are some that my spirit bears witness to, these are the ones I listen to. Many songs I've downloaded and had to delete after listening to them. They didn't carry Life, (to me o).

The singular reason is blatant DISREGARD for biblical instructions on the use of tongues in public spaces and places.
1Corinthians chapter 14 clearly spells it out.
But because we live in the Age of Disobedience and Disrespect for Scriptural guidelines, supposed Christians do whatever they like.
To correct your assertion, singing in tongues or in the spirit is biblical BUT it should be exercised ONLY in private worship and devotion, except, of course, if there is interpretation.
In public gatherings of believers, the Apostle Paul forbids believers from speaking in tongues loudly, if there's no one to interpret the tongues.
But one can pray and sing in tongues silently during Christian Praise or Prayer meetings.
That's the same way the previous generation of Christians neglected and disregarded the biblical command for sisters to wear a veil on their heads while praying or prophesying.
We are in the Last Days. So, we should expect more departures and deviations from WHAT IS CLEARLY WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE from WOKE CHRISTIANS.
Shalom.

Okay.
Go to Acts.19.6 - And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

The Bible didn't they, some of them spoke in other tongues...the statement above proved that all the people that Paul laid hands on, spoke in tongues. Well, it happens that, some don't speak instantly at that moment. I've had many experiences with that...but sooner than later, they spoke!
Alps, at the House of Cornelius, while Peter was still speaking with them, the Holy Ghost fell on them and they began speaking in other tongues.
So, a believer SHOULD speak in other tongues if he is truly baptized of the Holy Ghost.

To prove that Tongues is a sign - 1Cor.14.22 - Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

This debate about speaking in tongues should stop already.

If you hear tongues in a song, just settle in your mind that's the singer is speaking to God. Same goes for prayers.

All you need is the part in your understanding. And you're blessed.

I'm being sincere with you here
Speaking in tongues is not an issue for born again Christian. If u start having issues with speaking in tongues, then check ur salvation very well.

Apart from when the holy ghost came down in d day in the book of Acts, that was the only time pple heard them speaking in their language bcuz they needed to be saved.
Check carefully, all through the book of Acts where pple heard them speak in their native language when they spoke in tongues.

The OP clearly stated that he is not against speaking in tongues. The issue is that, many Nigerian gospel singers have formed the habit of incorporating it in popular Gospel songs which is meant for everyone to consume. Didn't the Bible speak against using the gift this way?
Don't you think this will cause lots of people to abuse it just to look cool?

jesusjnr2020:
All those ideas are man-made and led to the problem we're having today with the proliferation and rise of false tongues.

The most important thing is if the tongues is genuine and that it's the Spirit of God that gave the utterances, once that happens everything else is secondary because Spirit of God knows well what He's doing better than any human and is much more capable, so it's bound to produce results just as it did in the day of Pentecost even though we may not know it.

Therefore that's what we should focus on not the man-made idea of edification or whatever.

To my own personal undestanding, i think songs are well compose then practice for some weeks even months before going to the studio to record what you composed. While tongue divine, i wonder how they compose tongue in music.
There nothing genuine about tongues in music.

There are people who spirit-filled gospel songs stir their spirit man and make them burst into tongues. One said there were times he locked himself in the bathroom when such happened. Yes, Holy Spirit can inspire utterances while singing. It happens a lot these days. That being said, I don't think a person who sings another person's gospel song to the point of speaking verbatim the tongues as spoken by the gospel minister in his song is of the Holy Spirit. That looks fake!
