You are a Christian, yet you don't even begin to know or accept the Truth of Jesus Christ, as given to you since 2000 years ago. Are you any better than those you look down in thinking you do so on behalf of God? undecided

Please pick up the Gospels and read them through using the understanding that God has already given you - starting with basic human language comprehension skulls- and ditch the special interpretation magic which deluded you and your lot. undecided

Jesus Christ said in Matthew 13 vs 10 - 13 that it is to those who use the understanding they have that more understanding will be given. Those who refuse to use the understanding they have will have even the little they once had taken away from them - this is a reference core lesson taught by Jesus Christ in the Parable of the 10 talents - Matthew 25 vs 14-30 undecided

The reason why after claiming to be a Christian for so long, you still have next to no Truth about the Kingdom of God is because you have been feeding from the crumbs and regurgitates that fall from the mouth and tables of Mogs, the false teachers and false prophets who Jesus Christ warned you had the devil as their master. undecided

the reason for this my question is as a result of a lady that i met she said she wanted to teach or train me how to be speaking in tongue,so i was disturbed on whether speaking in tongues is gift from God or they receive training as claimed by this lady,so bible scholar share your opinion on this because she is seriously disturbing me.

I have been in our of these SESSIONS as a child. Where this zealous and charismatic man in the middle of prayer session got up and begin shouting and making some gibberish sounds. It wasn't funny then because he was pushing to fall under an anointing grin.
I only give in when he wanted to sprain my neck.

The word “tongues” in the New Testament is a translation of the Greek word “glossa”, and it means “language”.
'Tongues' is Shakespearian old English while 'Language' is a modern English.
Believe me, it's not the same as what is practice today.
In the Bible times, the person spoke in his native language, but the hearers heard in their native language. People with that gift then 'can speak in others native languages', it wasn't a mixture of incoherent words.


a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken

Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?
we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”(Acts 2:1–12.)[/b]

What he's go to teach you is just a fake word showmanship .This is really nothing more than euphoria induced by a show. You would understand if you've attended pop show concert before

Hmm! Have you not seen people who "automatically" speak the languages of the places they have lived in? Even in nysc, before they conclude the program, they have already learnt the language of their place of posting.

These are the people God gave the gift of the Tongue for, as Paul, they can preach to a diverse group of people in any locality.

Most people are not as they are, they mostly speak one language and when they are taught a foreign tongue, it is very difficult for them to learn.

But these linguists learn it in a blink of an eye.
We are talking about speaking in tougues in a spirit sense, not speaking a foreign tougue.

It is a gift according to the Bible. Not something you learn how to do.

Some denominations do claim it can be learned but that's not true because that was not how the people of old got ( through Learning). They got it in an instant and that was how I got mine too.

So anybody telling you to say as I say. That is... Trying to teach you some patterned syllables and claiming it's speaking in tongues is fake!

Mine came instantly and even when I tried to suppress it because I felt I was sounding weird, it didn't go back or stop. Rather with every new wave I felt it flow effortlessly.

Till now, if I start and maybe I want to switch back to english maybe to pour out that thing bothering me in English language so I'll know I've said that part, and the wave is still there, the tongue will not give way for English until I've exhausted that session.
So it's something you can't really control. It's the power of God. It controls you.

Speaking in tongues is speaking in a foreign language.

And people are not paying attention to the details of what happened on the day of Pentecost, which is "TO SPEAK WITH OTHER LANGUAGES (TONGUES)" Acts 2:4

And the other tribes in whose languages they spoke were there to hear and confirm that their languages was being spoken saying "WE DO HEAR THEM SPEAK In Our Language (Tongues)" Acts 2:11

it's a gift. That's why some people pray 7,8,10 hours nonstop in Tongues. If it were taught by man, you'd exhaust vocabulary. It's a gift, but constant use makes you a better user. Stop using it and it would vanish after a while.

Yes, it is the gift of the holy spirit as seen on the day of pentecost.

But you see, brother, what is done today, the speaking of unknowledgeable words is pure nonsense and wasn't what was done then.

Unless you want to explain the meaning of rashidi yekini yamaha wa ka susuki from a preacher's mouth.

When people spoke in tongues in ancient times, they spoke one language and people from different cultural backgrounds, languages, and heritage, understood them.

Suppose Paul was in a Hebrew land (with non-Hebrew visitors from around) and spoke Hebrew, of the gift of the spirit, the Greeks, people of Corinth, people of Ephesus, Igbos, Ijaws, Yorubas, etc., understood him! They weren't speaking nonsense! The gift allowed them spread the message far and beyond language barriers...not speaking ecstatic pronouncements of gibberish.

Now I ask you, is what that was done then the same with what we hear and see today?


Have a nice century.
since what they say is rubbish, which one do you now speak? Instead of criticising, ask the Holy Ghost to baptise you with the gift of tongues.

Speaking in tongues is a gift for everyone
Joel 2:28

You can only receive it when you pray for it or someone lays hands on you Acts 19:1-8

No one can teach, it is the Holy Spirit that puts those words in the mouth of the speaker
Acts 2:4

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

Speaking in tongues is different from praying in tongues, the apostles were the only people that spoke in tongues.
Speaking in tongues is when you use a certain language to speak and every tribe will understand you,
What we so now is praying in tongues because nobody understands you or the language you are using.

Have a nice century.

You made valid points but from my time reading the bible, I think there was a part that said speaking in tongues was a lesser gift as the speaker was only understood by the holy spirit. I don't think people around would understand what he said.
