Debunking the Mystery of Speaking in Tongues 

And then you woke up? Why do you guys have to lie to get people to convert? 😂

Muslims speak in Arabic 🤨

That's amazing ❤

Aramaic is dead language just like Latin; there are way more people who know Latin than Aramaic, plus why would Muslims know Aramaic??? You need to repent of your taqiyya!

@@rickyboyce2323 Have you read about Gerd-Rüdiger Puin? Based on philological analyses, he put forward the thesis that the difficult-to-understand passages in the quran - he estimates them at 20% of the text - must be read taking into account the influence of the Aramaic language at the time the quran was written.

That’s amazing

It doesn’t have to be just a one-time experience.

I remember my mother also prayed for me once when I was very sick, everything around me was white and I felt like going up on stairs, then I came back and I heard my mother praying in another tongue. I didn't know what praying in tongues was back then.

Just saying..GOD NEVER OVER-RIDES OUR FREEDOM OF WILL..but HE will inspire us..to pray in the spirit/speak in tongues/unlearned language...in many situations where we do not know WHAT to pray for..Romans 8:27...GOD continue to bless you & your baby!!🙏🔥💯

Pray in toungs every day

Wow! Amazing testimony

...good thing you were Sensitive to the Spirit here; what if you ignored the Prompting and Rolled over back to Sleep ? God Forbid !

Thank God that your pastor is not greedy and let your great grandma go where she can grow with the Lord. I pray that many church leaders will be like that. Praise God!

Lord, please fill my family and I with the presence of the Holy Spirit in Jesus' name. Amen and Amen.

​@selah838 ... there is nothing to be Thankful for in that Situation that I can tell ; the Pastor is supposed to be leading the Spiritual life of the Church ! When he is spoken to about the next thing he is supposed to do for his members - he kicks the Message down the Backstairs ... and the Messenger to the exit... ... that Congregation will Never grow again Spiritually...because they didn't follow the Lord's appointed next step in their walk with the Saviour. The motto of our Armed forces is to, " leave No Man behind!" ... but Grandma was ordered to do just that to her friends by the General in charge... ...Terrible situation oft repeated...

Great story! Wow! I am just guessing....maybe the pastor spoke in tongues in secret.

What language are you speaking and who is your interpreter?? Tongues are meant to be known languages. The purpose of tongues was for people of different languages to hear the Word. It's not meant to be gibberish that no one understands or can interpret

This was really beautiful. Thank you for sharing!!

Share this With everybody..EVERY ONE YOU KNOW... THIS GIFT IS FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES AND ASK OUR LORD FOR THIS GIFT... THANK YOU JESUS 🙏

Your experience is so common. When we walk away from the Lord our desire and inclination to pray in general and of course in tongues, diminishes. But get close, desire nothing but Him and you will begin speaking in tongues. Just don't stress about it so much or focus on the gift. Focus on the giver. Remember it is a work of grace. "Draw near to God..(James 4:8)

When ‘confusion’ is in the mix, that should be a tip off as to what spirit is trying to draw you away from the things of God. I asked God to confirm this was from Him. He did. I never doubted it again.

Praise king Jesus, tongues are indeed a gift by God, I have been speaking in tongues for years and I have experienced sweet moments with the Lord.

Tongues in original Greek mean foreign language and dialects. Not babble...not of God. He understands proper language just fine.

I still don't understand what tongues is. When you are praying do you understand what you are saying?

No I do not know but images will come into my mind

Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. 1 Corinthians 14:1-5.@@stevenwithaph9785

@@stevenwithaph9785 1 Cor 14:1-19 are contrasting the gifts of the Spirit with prayer in tongues, the only verses about "prayer in tongues" are *1 Cor 14:2, 14-15, 18,* 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands [him]; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. ... 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is [the conclusion] then?

...you are going to learn something again, today, OMGodseesies are you Blessed ! ...it's the Holy Spirit that is the Gift... not the Tongues ; Speaking in Tongues is the sign that we have Received His Holy Spirit ... ...yes , I, also , have heard the CRAZIEST reasons that some folks have come up with to explain away not only Tongues...but much else of the Spiritual things in the Bible ; my Fave " Excuse " for not embracing Tongues...is that it was merely a way for God to tell ( in code) to the Temple Priests that the language of the Bible is going to change from Hebrew , to Greek ...

I would encourage a Gen 1 to Rev 22 study on the Spirit of God - most of the authors of the canon do not see the Spirit of God as a person - probably none of them actually do.... There are some significant questions you ask to see this...

Thats Great .Praise the Lord Jesus Christ ...

@@greglogan7706 Yes they did. They knew Gods Holy Spirit.

@@paulmerritt2484 You have idealized the text out of your own ego

The only way a believer can perform the miraculous sign and wonder of speaking in tongues is by an Apostle (Acts 1:15-26) placing hands on you (Acts 19:6 & Acts 8:17) or by an Apostle speaking to you (Acts 10:44 & Acts 11:15). All the Apostles are dead (Acts 1:15-26) so the miraculous sign and wonder of speaking in tongues is non-existing.

​@@hehehe23451 Really? Ate you sure? Only apostles? Acts 9. Read it. Acts 9:10-12, 17 " And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and PUTTING HIS HANDS ON HIM, that he might receive his sight. And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and PUTTING HIS HANDS ON HIM, said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and BE FILLED WITH the Holy Ghost." The great apostle Paul, with a phenomenal history in Judaism, and a GREATER history in RABBI Jesus Christ, had a dream of a guy named Ananias coming to him laying hands on him. So Jesus tells Ananias, he is just an ordinary disciple who knows Jesus intimately and is filled with the Holy Spirit himself, all in the early Church received this blessing (according to Acts 2:38-39), go to Saul and lay hands on him so that he will see again. So Ananias goes in the power of the Holy Spirit and does exactly as commanded. And by the Holy Spirit makes it plain Saul is to receive the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost). If you go back to Acts 2 you will not read that any of the 12 apostles laid their hands on any of the others present. It is JESUS Himself who baptizes us into the Holy Spirit. Human hands are not always needed. Humans hands are needed to baptize new believers in water. Bit human hands are not always needed for believers to be baptized into the Holy Spirit. God may use human hands, but it is JESUS who does this baptising. Matthew 3:11. Apostles of Christ should be able to lay their hands on new believers if the Lord requires it, but many are baptized in the Holy Spirit by Jesus when no one else is present. There is NO statement in the new testament record that limits the baptism into the Holy Spirit to an apostles hand being laid on a believer. This is an assumption and has been taught falsely for many decades.

Not all the Apostles are dead. See Heb. 3:1

You can be baptized in the Holy Spirit at home. It about faith in receiving and yielding physically as the Spirit flows out of you.

🙏

Pray and fast read the New testament and learn from the early church. Sin is a enemy of the Holy Ghost so you must get sin out of your life.

Leave the trappings of ‘religious activity’ out of your request of the Lord. This is about intimacy first. Where are you with the Lord when no one is watching?

God only asks that you are obedient to Him. It sounds like you are. Believers who strive for some 'experience' are often disappointed and become embittered. Dont go down that road.

You might want to edit this. I think there was an unfortunate typo. ❤

Slut? How do people not proofread before hitting the go button? 😮

Amen!

Tongues is real and powerful! God certainly is not limited to an introduction of tongues before he moves, right? After all, he is God, almighty God, ways higher than our ways, thoughts higher than our thoughts...creator, sustainer, all powerful and more and certainly able to respond eventfully to our petitions in faith, our trusting in Him.

How does it look like wen you are experiencing it

Ephesians 1:17-19 for you, my friend.

Hi Marylin, This phenomenon you are experiencing is called retaliation. It is a common ploy of the enemy. I have experienced it as have many other believers. The Bible tells us that there is a spiritual realm and that realm existed first and is eternal whereas the physical realm is temporal. (2 Cor 4:12) the Bible also tells us that we are at war with an unseen enemy. (Enemies that exist in the spiritual realm) Ephesians 6 from vs 10-20 describes this war. Praying in tongues seems foolish to many when considered in the physical realm but it has great power and effect in the spiritual realm. So, yes, God still loves you and you will be with Him regardless of whether you use your prayer language but I would put it to you that praying in tongues is exposing a problem that is already there and that problem needs to be addressed so you can walk in freedom. It sounds like you need help. I pray God will connect you with believers who have wisdom and operate in the gifts of the Spirit. So that the root of the problem can be exposed and dealt with. Love and blessings to you.

@@Supercre8ive1 Thank you for all yours prayers and encouragement. I look forward to God answering. that prayer.

Supercrea8ive is correct. Similar happened to my catholic friend who finally opened up and desired to get to know God the way I talk about Him. After two weeks I asked her if she still reads her bible to which she said 'no, because every time I do, bad things are happening'. I had to explain her the devil's strategies as she was becoming too superstitious by all of this. Satan only comes to steal, kill and destroy. Do not listen to him.

This same thing happened to me. While praying in tongues I also had it weird where I was yelling in tongues, making clicking sounds (like an African language) etc. I went into psychosis and starting hearing voices. I still hear voices to this day and any time I do speak in tongues I deal with it very intensely. I thought I was possessed but through learning the truth in scripture I know a believer cannot be possessed. I’m 100 percent a born again believer and to this day do not understand what I experienced. I do not know if it is from God or not. I prayed to God asking for wisdom and answers and God spoke to me through my husband telling me to just focus on regular prayer, Bible reading and not to worry about tongues. I pray one day God gives me answers.

It’s good stuff Quoc!

Very good teaching...it's basically what my experience has been. I was a disciple of John MacArthur for the first 7or 8 years of my walk with the Lord. MacArthur is an opponent of the gifts so I'd been indoctrinated. But then by chance met a brother from Nacadoches TX. that encouraged me to fast and so I did several days a week. After several months my dads sister came from Alaska to Ohio and told me that she thought it was time for me to receive my prayer language. She prayed for me and I asked the Lord to give me whatever it was that would help me serve him. And He did! Rivers of living water flowed from my belly I had a gift given to me that I didn't even know existed! That was in the fall of 1999...my life hasn't been the same since.

David Pawson has some good stuff too. Was very impressed with this teaching.

Emmanuel Iren of Celebration Church teaches the right doctrine on tongues too. He recently answered Allen Parr regarding his video critiquing tongues, you should check it out.

In this day and age with so many corrupt bible translations available it is quite possible to get the bible to say whatever you please it to say. This practice should not be mistaken for solid bible teaching however.

Think about it - prayer is a two-way communication. If you do not understand what you are doing or saying - it is no longer a prayer, but an expression of emotion. Read and gather knowledge from the Bible and then compare everything you read, see and hear with God's word. If it does not agree - with what you have experienced or experience as truth - then refrain from it and follow God's word. Read Psalm 119.

@@keitholsson3228 The Bible tells us to pray in tongues. The Bible does not tell us to refrain. Our Spirit knows what we say and so does the Holy Spirit and so do the Angels. It is not about an emotional experience but it is emotional being touched by the Lord God almighty. It should be. How many woudl jump up and down and dance in Church if they found out they won the lottery? How much more Joy should we feel for Jesus. When we gather and sing in his name he sings back over us and is among us. We feel his presence and are humbled. Our words of praise are no longer good enough to express our love for the Lord so we pray in tongues. It is not for us. It is for the Lord.

@@paulmerritt2484 I understand from your post that you are honest and sincere and love the Lord. At the same time, I discover that there is a lot of misunderstanding regarding 1 Cor 14. 1) The church in Corinth was filled with internal conflicts - it was divided, worldly and showed signs of purely ungodly manifestations. The ancient city of Corinth - which was famous for its two international ports - contributed greatly to the Church having members and visitors of widely different nationalities, languages and cultures. During the gatherings, people could pray and speak in one another's mouths, also in languages foreign to those present - which naturally caused both confusion and disorder. 2) It is important to understand that the word tongues is an obsolete word for language originally from the Greek; glòssa. 3) It is true that the Bible tells us to pray in an existing language. If we don't do that, neither we ourselves nor others will understand what we are praying for. Language is, after all, a human system for communication that we received from God. 4) You mention "our spirit". If we look at 1Cor 14:2, Paul writes: "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 word spirit is a translation from Hebrew 'ruach' in the OT and Greek 'pneuma' in the NT and actually means - breath, air or wind. Spirit is also used to describe characteristics such as personality, thinking ability and consciousness. In other words: "the one who speaks a foreign language [ex. English] which no one present can understand[except the speaker] does not speak to people[in ex. an Arabic-speaking congregation] but to God. After all, no one understands what he says [except God who created all the known languages that exist in the world] because he speaks in a language foreign to them.” 5) You write: “Our words of praise are no longer good enough to express our love for the Lord so we pray in tongues. It's not for us. It is for the Lord.” Isn't prayer a two-way communication between two intelligent beings? God has created us with feelings but also with an intellect. Although I believe that all who practice nonsense language are sincere, one should ask if it is not a little like insulting God as creator by speaking in an incomprehensible way before an Almighty God who rules the universe and has created us in his image ? We best express our love for God by obeying God - that is, by sticking to his word and law. John 14:21,24 🙂

AMEN!

You should listen to your spouse. They know what they are talking about and you would draw closer to Christ in the abandoning of folly and drawing near to your spouse. All the better you listen to Christ that would give you thought for doubt on pentecostal teachings, a very new and not historical Christian school. If you where born in 1750 or 1500 or 723, rest assured you'd never hold to these conclusions, they simple did not exist among the entire collection of all Christians until the late 19th in the United States. Not even your family, even if all where Christians and you met them in the year 1800 would have any idea what you where talking about and would reject this 'new' folly. I could go on but this new teaching isn't historically Christian and the video here, though kind in nature, is not accurate to any level of historical view to all of Christianity. He must admit his conclusions are entirely foreign near all Christians of all time.

A friend told us that his church preached tongues from devil. He asked me what I believed. I told him that the Bible is true. I told him to read all the scriptures about tongues and fast with prayer about it. He came back and said he believed what the Bible said rather than his church. He asked to pray with me. I asked to pray in tongues for him because I had no idea on how to pray for him. After praying and unusual silence, I opened my eyes. His mouth hung open. His eyes were as wide as saucers. He then tried to speak to me in another language. I kept telling him that I didn't understand. He later switched to English. He said how can you not understand you just spoke to me in my language from when I was a child. He explained that he grew up in South America. I had no idea of that. He was so excited that I don't know what the Hily Spirit said to him but his doubt was gone. He was changed after that. It was a huge turning point he said.

Read my comments in this section to be further encouraged.

@@countingthecosttofollowChristThat church is blaspheming the Holy spirit then ...THATS VERY BAD ...

It is interesting that it says the people "HEARD". However, that doesn't change the fact that the 120 spoke in tongues.

Keep in mind no Christian from 1850 and back for all time never held to these ideas. No one, none, zero. Had you been born in 1623 and been a Christian you'd never held to these ideas, they would have been entirely foriegn. Pick any year, any time, same result. Pick 328, same. This is a new teaching that only sprung up in the United States at the end of the Restoration Movement that stole away Free Holiness movement people to Pentecostalism. Trust me, but better do your own historical Christian research. Its important to know what Christians through out the history of Christ Kingdom lived and though concerning these things. Not just following the spirit of the day in which you live, which in light of history maybe entirely foreign and deceptive, though you may emotional be pulled to today. I understand its hard to think outside the day in age in which you live, yet it is eternally valuable.

Satan was an Angel..

The gift of speaking in tongues is a different operation of this spiritual language that is accompanied by a believer with the gift if interpretation so that a church assembly may be edified. There are only three instances in scripture where we read of believers recieving the Holy Spirit and what occured the moment that they recieved( Acts ch.2,10,and ch.19). In each instance the first thing that happened when they recieved the Spirit is that they spoke in tongues.Afterwards, it becomes the believers private prayer language for self edification. The Word " tongues" is only pluralized because more than one believer is speaking in this spiritual language at a time.

Wow, it sounds like your story is very similar to mine! I, too, grew up SDA and was taught that the local large Aseemblies of God church was of the devil because they spoke in tongues. Speaking in tongues was seen as being demon possessed. It wasn't until after I left the SDA church and sought the Lord and Scripture that I discovered the beauty of tongues and received the gift myself. What a beautiful experience!

​@kristopherburnett4817 wow very similar in fact I had attended A of G too back then and a number of non or inner denomination bodies. We both got the same teaching for sure. My dad took my mom and me to a youth for Christ event. I stood up to receive Jesus as Lord and my mother kind of scolded me and said you don't need to do that you are a seventh day Adventist. I was about 10 or 11 and never forget that. My mom lived here last 5 years with me and at 93 she would tell us we were going to hell if we didn't keep sabbath. We would ask her if she was going to heaven and she would reply I hope so. If I did more good than bad. Last 6 months she had a stroke could not speak but to sing hymns or quote scriptures with me. We led her to Jesus before she left

This is so good and right on by my personal experience. His book spirit of offense will set you free like it did me

It's pagan jibberish muttering

Tongues is a GIFT. It isn’t something we all should have.

A good Father gives gifts to his children. But the children may choose to reject the gift.

So what does Paul speak of in 1 Corinthians 12 regarding 'for to one is given... to another... to another divers kinds of tongues... but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.' Our good Father does give gifts to his children, diverse gifts distributed as he so desires to impact the church and grow the individual into the likeness of Christ.

@@eclipseGlassfish 1 Cor 12 is to the church services ! 1 Cor 14:1-19 are contrasting the gifts of the Spirit with prayer in tongues, the only verses about "prayer in tongues" are *1 Cor 14:2, 14-15, 18,* 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands [him]; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. ... 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is [the conclusion] then?

Let go of your inhibitions and fear not what others will say or think and see your own words are never enough to tell the Lord how much we love him and how grateful we are. This is what tongues are for. God is pouring out his Spirit on all flesh.

Study and show yourself approved, take a Concordance and submit to Holy Spirit to show you the Power of those verses where tongues are mentioned throughout the Bible

@@pamjohnson4295 well you are correct sir on the studying part and I have done so. My comment is also to highlight the studying that led people to their current conclusion on Tongues because 99% are not defending based on study and consistent biblical exegesis but the defence is filled with more experiences than actual study. I guess we are on the same page though

I am in the same boat. You said it perfectly. John Mccarthur does a wonderful job explaining the side of not speaking in tongues. He goes through scripture and thoroughly and also delvs into where speaking in tongues has sprung back up in our culture. But the other side is all exegesis (you used the perfect word here) seemingly. It is all personal experience and not much scripture. Even this video was mostly personal experience without much solid doctrine to back it up. Lord, provide the answer to this question.

I was scrolling through looking for someone else that might be thinking along the sane lines as me and saw you post. It would be nice to receive a response from the one who made this video about this question.

@jamesmoorejr.2649 (If I have misunderstood your comment, please forgive me, in advance 🙂). But, if not...Yes, we receive the Holy Spirit at salvation. It is the leading of the Holy Spirit that reveals Jesus' sacrifice and our need for salvation. But, this is about the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit". It is a total immersion experience in the Holy Spirit. Not just a filling experience (and I'm NOT taking anything away from the "filling" part, by saying that). Read Acts 19:2-6. ("Have you received the Spirit SINCE you believed"?). It is another gift from our loving Father. ✝️☝️

Book, chapter and verse please.

@@MichaelTheophilus906 Hello, Michael. Is it me that you're asking about which "book, chapter and verse"?

Check out the separation of believing and then receiving the Holy Spirit in Acts 8. You are right that it can be received as soon as you accept Christ, but, Acts 2, 8, 10, 11, 18, and 19 show it being received same time, as well as after praying, and a long while after believing. It's beautiful to believe and start demonstrating the Holy Spirit immediately but it doesn't always happen that way

​@@bonnievolker2848God want us to be like Jesus Christ. We shall look upon him and follow him only. Was Jesus filled with the Holy Spirit? Yes! But you cannot find any text in the Bible that Jesus was babbling. God want us to be sober, awake, to use our brains in a way so we can give him glory. We can never do that if we speak in a way that no one can understand what we are doing or saying. I write this with all respect.

It hard specially for smart people to turn off your own brain. Your not a ventriloquist puppet it your voice. Be blessed in your journey. May you prosper as your soul prospers.

You are wise and knowledgeable of the Word! The Bible says they spoke “as the Spirit gave them utterance”! Pray and let the Spirit lead you. Your part is to not quench the spirit. God will honor your sincerity and desire to receive His gift. 🙏❤️

When you are in worship and there are no words enough to tell God in English how much you love him let your inhibitions of what others will think of you go and praise the Lord in Tongues. Just start slow and simple and let the Holy Spirit guide you. Get water baptized also and it will help a lot.

I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding. ... 18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;

Don't be jealous or resentful. Cast inhibition and worry of what others think of you aside and only care what the Lord thinks. If you no Jesus then no one can put you to shame. The devil wants you to be upset with others.
