AllenSpencer:Hahahahaha NEW GENERATION PENTECOSTALS have succeeded in destroying Christianity. They have rendered people thinking about the existence of God. They have become MERCHANTS with Business Associated Everywhere. Anyway, the BIBLE predicted them, but my concern is “why is NIGERIA now the HEADQUARTERS of FAKE and PONZI PASTORS”..?? I think GOD shouldn’t extend Rapture beyond NIGERIA and SOUTH AFRICA What do you think....?? |

DipoAy:you shouldn't be wary! Tongues is for the edification of the members for who can interpret it but if no one can interpret it, is as good as talking nonsense! Many Nigeria Churches got it wrong and misleading others! Prayer is not about speaking in tongues or hitting your head in the ground for answer, prayer is about communication with God or rather your personal daily life with God! Tongues is of little significance |

BluntBoy: New International Version Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church. New Living Translation A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church. English Standard Version The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. Berean Study Bible The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church. So what's your point or you just want to argue for nothing? |

dguyindcorner:Good morning, it's not only God who understands speaking in tongues. In the bible when the disciples were speaking in tongues, some people understands because it was their language. When you speak in tongue, you speak others' language, might be French, Spanish, Hangul or anything. You don't understand simply because it's not your language but theirs. If those people are opportune to be present then, they would understand because it's their language. The same way someone over there might speak our language(Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo or the minor ones) when speaking in tongue and won't understand because it's not their language and we would understand if we are opportune to be there because it's our language. So speaking in tongue isn't gibberish And the funniest thing about speaking in tongue is when you speak in tongue, you might not be praying for yourself, you might be praying for someone out there in the world who needs the prayer at that moment. That's why most times you would be like I don't know how this problem got solved, it might be someone somewhere who doesn't even know you that prayed for you without even knowing he or she did. So speaking in tongue is an indirect way of being a blessing to others 5 Likes |

[s] dguyindcorner:[/s] The apostles who spoke in tongues prophesised in foreign tongues or languages. The city of Antioch was a highly cosmopolitan city with different Nationals. The apostles preached in the tongue of the Greek, Assyrian, Arab, etc. The nonsense gibberish these fake pastors are fond of spewing is not the same as that recorded in the Bible 1 Like |

Pure rubbish!. If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret.” 1 Corinthians 14:26-27. Have you ever seen any church where speaking in tongue is interpreted? 6 Likes |

Tundexxy: Some speak in tongues....now this one decides to write in tongues. Abeg.... explain the above.... I just need evidence to show people who speak or write in tongues don't know what they are saying or writing...let alone others who are listening or reading. Feel free to pretend you didn't read this. @ topic. To those defending speaking in tongues..... two simple questions.... 1. Did the Bible say if one speaks in tongues and there is no interpreter he should be quiet/stop? (Yes/No) 2. When speaking in tongues while praying in church.... does anyone interpret? (Yes/No) Tongue speakers can also feel free to pretend not to read this. 1 Like |

A N50,000 CHALLENGE Here is a N50,000 challenge: send to me the names and addresses of any 5 people that you know that speak in 'Tongues' recognized by the Bible. Your submissions MUST be native Yoruba, Igbo, Effik, Nupe, Hausa, Chinese, English, French, Spanish (any language) speakers who, suddenly, without any schooling, start speaking fluently any other language as a result of any church activity. There are basically only two groups that deceive themselves on speaking in tongues: (1) the totally fake; and, (2) the demonically possessed. Read Acts 2:5-11 PENTECOSTALISM WAS SET UP BY PSYCHICS AND PEOPLE WHO TALKED WITH THE DEAD: OCCULT PEOPLE. That is where they get their fake 'tongues' and other doctrines from. THEY ARE NOT CHRISTIANS www.thetruechristianfaith.com/2016/10/12/tongues-and-snake-oil-salesmen/ |

ElsonMorali:It is not always fake, but yes speaking in tongue can be faked. Speaking in tongue is a gift of the spirit, so is interpretation. Some people receive the gift of speaking in tongue, some interpretation, some teaching, some discerning spirit. So because you don't speak in tongue doesn't mean you won't make heaven, it doesn't make you a sinner and it doesn't mean God loves you less. Different gifts for different people. But some people fake it, yes because they feel not speaking in tongue makes them inferior, so they fake it or learn it. But there's always a different. Cos people who learn it actually when speaking it, would keep repeating the same word and won't flow like those who do not. Again, it can't be controlled when you are in the spirit because it's not you who is speaking but the holy spirit is the one giving you utterances. Like Jesus said that in the last days, many would perform wonders in his name but won't be recognised by him because they didn't get their power from him, so also is speaking in tongue, many would speak in tongue and won't be recognised by God because the spirit didn't give th utterances. We only need to pray for the gift of discerning spirit so as to be able to tell the fake from the real 1 Like |

Originalsly:To your first question, "NO" I quote someone up there, speaking in tongue doesn't necessarily mean you are praying for yourself, you might be praying for someone out there in the world who needs that prayer at that particular moment, praying I'm some. people's language which if those people are present, they would understand just like in the bible. Your second question. "YES" It might not be always, but yes there are interpreters and again the person who speaks in tongue might interprets the message him or herself, it depends on how the spirit is working 1 Like |

dguyindcorner: Why have you chosen to be led astray? When the apostles of Jesus Christ spoke in tongues after his ascension to heaven, were there not people from other nations and tribes other than Israel, who understood the sermons of God in their various dialects? So why is it that during our time, it is only God who understands the gibberish uttered all in the name of speaking in tongues? |
Re: Do People Who Speak In Tongues Fake It Or Understand It? by queenitee(f): 11:48am On Feb 10, 2019 |
vivienD: Yes, if you thirst for it, you will have it. But you must have the thirst for it, the reason you need it. No because you feel inferior to those speaking it, not because you want to show off And when you feel the urge to speak another language, do so. It's not rubbish, it's another language entirely. You might not understand but someone in the world does. Just as you are connecting with heaven, you are also touching someone's life out there in the world. Do not kill the gift in you, build it 1 Like |
