Speaking in tongues is one of the physical signs of the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the life of a christian, it is not a mere religious exercise, it is the vehicle of supernatural empowerment.The bibles says when you speak in tongue you edify the body. Tongues are heavenly communication languages which could be understood or may not be understood by the one speaking, for the interpretation of tongues is a gift as well in the Holy Spirit.

Now we know that lots of Christian fundentalists subscribe to the notion of speaking in tongues.
This is an act which the early apostles engaged in while in the upper room. I clearly understand it as speaking in a language/tongue foreign to yours. For instance, a Greek man speaking Hausa. That'd definitely qualify as " speaking in tongues", which would be a far cry from the today's church's version and interpretation of the tongues.
However, I see it as an exercise that wouldn't serve as a prerequisite to getting to God's Kingdom.
Thoughts, opinions and comments.
Cheers.

Pentecostal christians claim it is a mode of communication which prevents the devil from intercepting their prayers. Sort of encrypted messages or codes to prevent the enemy from decoding the message. This is indeed laughable,the correlation therefore,is that god is not as powerful as he/it/she is cracked up to be. If the devil can intercept prayers and prevent them from reaching god then what purpose does god serve?

Speaking in various language bro I say is a gift. Apostle Paul ask you and me "Do all speak in tongues?" No,And as such is finalized.

How exactly is "speaking in diverse language" a gift Couldn't it be a product of ondepth learning. Obafemi Awolowo, as we know spoke in several languages. Hence, I do not see it as a gift.
Now, in context, as relating to the subject topic, I'd like an explicit remark on the particular role "speaking in tongues" play in our life long journey as Christians.

Goodyshoes:

Thanks for that recommendation on that book. Would have loved to read and study it through. Unfortunately, I may not be able to, cuz of certain constraints. Like time et al.
But if you may, please a concise explanation on the subject topic would be very beneficial. Thoughts and opinions.
Cheers.

vooks:

Download the book and send it somewhere safe. You may be busy but am sure you won't be busy forever.

MaxInDHouse:
It first occurred in Jerusalem when first century Jewish disciples of Christ spoke different languages to preach the Good News of God's Kingdom {Act 2:6} and that's according to God's will since Jesus asked them to do so! Act 1:8

Anything outside that is immaterial!

bobestman:
Anything outside the gospel the same Jewish disciples of the messiah preached thousands of years ago is also immaterial cos after the messiah died, they searched for all the disciples who knew the truth and killed all of them. They fabricated another gospel you all preach today. So you guys who go about preaching JW gospel are all wasting your time. As he gave command that the sign shall follow them that believed, he also gave command to them to preach. You can't call one a lie and another truth. It only exposes the ignorance and foolishness of your organisation

MaxInDHouse:
The preaching and teaching campaign is about God's Kingdom where peace will reign on earth because only peacelovers will be alive by then. So if you can't present any group of people in whose midst there is no use of weapons then you're fooling yourself.
Any organization that has successfully carried out what is found written in the Bible book of Isaiah 2:2-4 and Zephaniah 3:9 are undoubtedly God's people today!
