The thing is; 99.999% of people who speak in tongue fake. And it's unfortunate that most gullible people fall this cheap trick because of ignorance.

This is exactly how I spot a fake pastor. Once he/she speaks in non-existent tongue. I red flag the person immediately. Me taking you serious ends.

The abuse of speaking in tongues has gone so bad to the point I saw someone walking on the road and he was speaking in tongues for no just reason. I just gazed at him. The book of acts let us know that the apostles gathered themselves, and from my understanding they may be praying and waiting on God when spirit came upon on them, in our churches today before someone utters a word of prayer he will use almost an hour speaking in tongues

You have written an idea you got from someone, what revelation have you gotten yourself from the pages of the scripture and from your personal relationship with the Holy Spirit? You have no prerogative to pass someone's idea as the perfect submission.
ebubeson:
We have several verses of the scriptures on speaking in tongues 1 Corinthians 14:2 is one on them.

Today, we have problem in various churches concerning speaking in tongues, and the issue of speaking in tongues have been abused by so many people.

What are the abuses of speaking in tongues.

(1) Speaking in tongues after committing sin. Someone may just come from prostitution, do adultery or fornication, and then may go into blasting in tongues when he or she goes to church.

(2) Speaking in tongues during repentance prayer. It is wrong to speak in tongues during prayer for repentance. If your pastor leads a prayer of repentance to the congregation, it is not right to speak in tongues, but to point out clearly the sins you may have committed, telling God to forgive you. This idea I got from someone.

(3) Telling the whole congregation to always pray in tongues. It is good. But there are times to pray in the Spirit and there are times to pray with understanding. If you tell the whole congregation to always pray in tongues, there may be pollutions if many members of the congregation are speaking in tongues with strange or familiar spirits. It is not everyone that speaks in tongues through the Holyspirit.

(4) Praying in tongues "recklessly" during quiet time or morning prayers. When you wake up early in the morning, you don't just blast in tongues for long without sober reflection, deep prayer of openness with God, intense study of the word of God, examination of one's self and attitude etc. This idea I got from someone.

Come to ABU Zaria garden around Icsa/ Ramat roundabout come see how many Christians dey shout like mad people disturbing the peace of others in the name of speaking in tongues. What is Christlike about speaking in tongues like a mad man? Na so Jesus Christ dey pray?
Why don’t you first tell your imams to stop disturbing people’s sleep with those noisy speakers? Clean your house 1st before cleaning your neighbor’s.

Problem with people like you is you don't pay attention even when you read the Bible. Many Christians as basic as it is still don't know what happened to them the day they gave their lives to Christ and the basics to know about Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. When Apsotle Paul was addressing a whole church in 1 corinthians 4:18 when he said I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all and in the next verse he said that he'd rather speak 5 intelligible words in
CHURCH to instruct others than speak 10,000 words in tongues. This shows that Apostle Paul preferred speaking intelligible words in Church to instruct others yet he said he speaks in tongue more than a whole church put together. So, if he doesn't speak in tongues in Church really, where then and how did he speak in tongues more than a whole church? It's simple, he speaks in tongue everywhere, on the road to preach, when he's making tents and all. That a Christian brother or sister speaks in tongues on the road isn't wrong at all. Read your Bible and pay attention

I thought speaking in tongues is involuntary when someone is overwhelmed by the Holy Ghost.

It's not really a matter of choice. I see Pentecostals speaking in tongues in music, discussions and casual prayers.

Hello Christ Embassy.
Actually speaking in tongues is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says that the gifts of God are irrevocable. In other words, he won’t give you & then take it back. So the gift is within you. You are not waiting for some force to hit you so that it activates. grin

Really? Every instance in the scripture, people spoke
in tongue when they were overwhelmed by the Spirit, really? You should be able to prove this, let's give it a go, would you?
PHIPEX:
The abuse is a big turn off and nauseating. People open their mouth and utter gibberish and lie they are speaking in tongue. Isn't this part of sinning against the Holy spirit?

From every instance in the scripture, people spoke in tongue when they were overwhelmed by the Holy spirit. In our case, it's now a fashion and a pentecostal show off.

you should be the one proving where people spoke in tongue as fashion in the scripture.. From the first instance of the Pentecost to Paul speaking about the gift of the spirit. From teaching about speaking in tongues in churches to him praying in spirit and praying with understanding and the spirit helping our infirmity with groaning that can not be uttered. Now tell us where you got your fashionable tongues from?

It is obvious you are out of your mind. Have I condemned speaking in tongues in anyway, or is it that you can't understand write ups. People like you are the hypocrites we have. Pretending to know bible and God when you don't.

Which is non existent tongue? 😂. The Apostle Paul said that when we pray in tongues, our understanding is unfruitful. 1Corinthians 14:14-15. Whoever prays in tongues builds up himself, but whoever prophecies, builds up the church. So yes, actually praying in tongues is something even the person praying doesn’t understand, unless there is an interpreter of tongues.He says to pray in both the Spirit (tongues) and also in the understanding.

Most of those gibberish are feigned. Read the acts of Apostles were the phenomenon first occured. Those folk spoke in intelligible foreign language understandable to speakers of the foreign language present at the scene. It's like a Yoruba person suddenly speaking fluent Igbo or Hausa or Efik or Mandarin without learning it during a church worship or prayer meeting. It's not the godforsaken gibberish we hear all the time which no one understands!🤨

Any speaker in tongue that‘s not the Holy Spirit that‘s leading Him or her is merely blasting nonesense. No apology.

Any tongue that does not have an interpreter is a mere cacophonous Noise. Again, No apology.
Ok, Check this out;- what really is
“bababababababa-yayayayayaya-mamamamama RUBISH.
Which tribe on the Earth speaks like that if I may ask?

You people fail to understand even your Bible.

When the apostles of HighPriest Jesus spoke in tongues, there happened to be people of other languages understanding that it's their native language that was being spoken. It wasn't the meaningless gibberish you people speak this days.

No spirit involved, just arrogance and eye service.
