I was in a Church a long time ago and during the prayer section the pastor was heard shouting " you all speak in tongue " speak in tongue, and I was like, them dey force person to speak in tongue? Na so I jejely Cary my wahala skum o

The pastor actually believed everyone should be speaking in tongues, and might not be aware that there are people who haven't received the gift who are presently in the church.

I believe that's where it lies

It is possible that everyone in a church flow in the Spirit together, and they are all edified, just that, the moment you stepped in, you seem to be the only one who doesn't speak in tongues. You really can't compare a new member to an old member, if you stayed longer in that church, you might have received the gift also,

Receiving the gift is all about having the proper understanding, and when they pray for you, you just receive it and believe me, you would wish you have received it long time before then, that's the natural experience for everyone who eventually receives the gift, but the truth is, Jesus wants everyone to speak in tongues, because speaking in tongues builds you

Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

And it edifies you

1 Corinthians 14:4a He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself;

When you speak in tongues, it's between you and God
1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

The God's Spirit helps us to pray better and serve God better
1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

How do you know I don't speak in tongues? undecided

First and foremost, Jesus Christ never said only those who have the Holy Spirit can speak in tongues. No, He said it is a sign of those who believe and last I checked not all those who believe have the Spirit of God - only those who are Holy can house the Spirit of God aka Holy Spirit. undecided

Second, how do you know I don't have the Holy Spirit living inside of me? undecided

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.
God bless you bro,there were so many people Gathered at the pentecost and the holyspirit, the helper did His thing. He unified their language such that people from other tribes could understand them. A contrast of what happened at the tower of babel.

Nowadays, we want ro proof we have higher powers of that webhave the holyspirit by speaking in tongues, some would even tell you, you dont have the holyspirit if you have not spoken in tongues.

May God help us in Nigeria because how many different ministries have we divided the body of christ into? And how has it worked for us? We are quick to convert people with mushroom description of salvation, go and check some of those people after a few years, they have become complete Atheists!

Even Satan speaks in tongue.

You don't have to take it that way cry cry, anyone who tell you about speaking in tongues, actually wants the best for you with respect to your relationship with God. Cause personally for me, my life experienced a turn around when I receive the gift, cause I found more joy and connection to God, than when I didn't have the gift. Cause the gift made me loved God the more cause I loved praying and it's an entirely new experience, it's just about praying for you and having the right understanding of the gift and anyone who receive it.

New Generation Churches are redefining a gift which was never appreciated

Though, not in the teaching sense though, but bringing people to understand the gift better

Scriptures said, how would they believe if they have not heard, so many people still do not understand how the gift works, so they can't receive it

The speaking in tongues is a gift of the Holy Ghost. Its not trainable .Check the book of Acts of Apostle 2 , you will discover that the holy spirit came upon the apostles cus they were praying for it. So my brother /sister , pray for the gift of the Holy Spirit from your heart and it comes upon you. But make sure you are born again

It still doesn't mean that's how the gift works

Scriptures said, in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established

I can give you verses upon verses that says it a different way

You don't explain a verse isolatedly, you use other verses to explain it, that's how to study the Bible

The fact it happened that way does not mean that was how God intended it to be. For goodness sake, souls were won that particular day, strangers especially from other countries, they heard it and they believed in the gospel simply because they were stranger and God wanted to reach to them

But the gift is a language, Paul called it the tongue of Angel, it is an heavenly language

I agree it is not a trainable gift, and no one trained me when I spoke mine, I just had my understanding about the gift changed. The truth is, the gift is for everyone, but our approach towards the gift would make us either receive it or not receive it. But like I said, God promised the Gift to everyone as a means of fellowshipping with God, not as a communication whatsoever

1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Both... You're given as a gift, and as you keep engaging it, it becomes like a second language to you.

Corinthians 14:2 does not corroborate your statement.

The Holyspirit is that which was promised for everyone, now there are about 12gifts of the holyspirit in which the gift of tongues is among. If I may ask did you receive all there other gifts of the Holyspirit written in Corinthians too?

Is it a must for everyone to speak in tongues, if yes is your answer then this is why we have people forcing and learning it. Infact we see people just saying a sentence in English and the last two words, they will end it with tongues, then follows a shipping laughter like it's a joke to them.

Personally I believe you don't have to speak in tongues for you to commune deeply with God sir/ma. When we turn it into a Law then it becomes a problem. Because you must have it then you must learn it.

I congratulate you for the gift that you have.

So many errors taught and not even established or near the truth as seen in the Bible.

Speaking in tongues means speaking another language which we all do daily but those who are seen these days as men of God with influence and many wish to be delusional and also want to still be adamant won't acknowledge this fact.

1 Corinthians 14:22 clarify it clearly its a sign for the unbelievers and from the onset, we all can read and understand in clear words what the Bible related to us on the day of Pentecost in particular when people from 16 nations came to celebrate and all heard Peter clearly in their own tongue (language) though they are of ancestry but didn't understand the native language but they all heard and understood him even asked how him being an illiterate (and fisherman) was able to read well and speak to them from the Holy Books to the extent of over 2000 souls were added (baptized) to the church.

From the original context, Glossolalia is from the Greek word γλωσσολαλία, itself a compound of the words γλῶσσα (glossa), meaning "tongue" or "language" and λαλέω (laleō), "to speak, talk, chat, prattle, or to make a sound". The Greek expression (in various forms) appears in the New Testament in the books of Acts and First Corinthians. In Acts 2, the followers of Christ receive the Holy Spirit and speak in the languages of at least fifteen countries or ethnic groups.

Acts 2, which describes an occurrence of speaking in tongues in Jerusalem at Pentecost, though with various interpretations. It simply means that "every man heard them speak in his own language" and wondered "how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?".

Reading further in Acts 10:46, the household of Cornelius in Caesarea spoke in tongues, and those present compared it to the speaking in tongues that occurred at Pentecost.

In essence, we all speak in tongues daily talking in one or two languages
