Hello everyone,

Is praying in tongues real? What exactly is praying tongues? When you go to a church and the pastor says pray in tongues and everyone begins to speak in that way, what is really going on? Please kindly share your reasonable views and people who speak in tongues, also share your views as well. Particularly what exactly you are doing when you speak in tongues.

Thanks.

There really isn't any such thing as praying in tongues. undecided

God's formulae as far as prayer is concerned is quite simple. God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous but God answers all of the prayers of those who have been deemed righteous by Him. undecided

Some of those who teach the idea of praying in tongues suppose it possible to circumvent God's very decree by way of this ritual they profess but there is no proof to support their claims as proof of such would suggest God a liar, something even those who preach these ideas shy away from openly proclaiming as their stance. undecided

2. The speaking in tongues is the speaking of an unlearned language by the spirit born inside of a person at the time when one becomes born-again. The spirit does the speaking, singing, etc., not the individual in whom He lives inside of. The whole experience is outside of the control of the individual and reason why Jesus Christ stated it was a sign to follow those who believe in Him. undecided

You don't believe in your pastor, why not ask him?
Better still read the Bible prayerfully.
I do this myself.
Since the Christian God is the living God, He still answers prayers.
No one can give better answers than He.

1. God said cursed is any man who puts his trust in another man or makes flesh and blood his role model. Do not believe in any man. undecided

2. God absolutely does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous, so prayers will not be answered by Him until you are first righteous. To gain understanding, Rather, Jesus Christ taught that it is when you use the understanding you have that more will be given to you. So if more understanding is what you seek, begin putting to use what you already know that He said. undecided

I have always believed you need urgent medical attention.

1.The OP said, his pastor said.......
He should have asked for clarification.

2. You want us to believe that you advise God on whose prayers to answer. Even if a snnner, being a sinner asked for forgiveness, He would not answer.

3. If God does not answer your own prayers for a reason best known to Him and you.
Does that mean He doesn't hear others?




Psalms 65:2-5
2. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh
come.

3. Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

4.Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5. By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us,
6. O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
And
Matthew 7:7-8,11
7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

If God does not answer your own prayers, no problem, He answers mine and will still answer others.

There is nothing called praying in tongues!

Prayer is talking to someone in the spirit realm so when you pray you're talking to someone in the spirit realms and you believe you will be heard for your godly devotion {Hebrews 5:7} speaking in tongues is like passing out a message using another language that's not the one you speak often so there's no sense in going to meet someone who knew you very well that you're ibo only for you to get there and start speaking french. undecided

Yes it's in the book of acts and also in Paul's letters.

The one I love best is when Paul/Timothy says though I speak in the tongues of men and angels but have not loved it is nothing.

But know this brotherly, tongues is only possible with the holy spirit. There is no learning of tongues it's a gift from the holy spirit

Yes. Praying in tongues is real for those that actually received the baptism of the Holy Spirit as in the day of Pentecost.

Tongues means languages and you know language is connected to your spirit. So you see that even though people are now speaking english, when the prayer is hot, they naturally sink into their native tongues to express themselves. That is what praying in tongues means.
