i only became a member to say,  that the worlds idea of tongues is very wrong,  its not "ablahhh blah fala blah blah"  its not repeated words, its known languages,  its beautiful and intricate,  its much more than repeated words that rhyme with each other,   its an actuall language,  it is your spirit talking to God.  but without an interpreter, you yourself do not understand it, (check 1 cor. 12-14,  )  your not suppose to speak it without an interpreter, because it is edifing the speaker not the church,   i have attended a penecostal (however u spell it) and it is funny,  in a horrid way,  one person starts doing the "ablah lablah" words and then they all do,  there is no interpreter, and basically i have concluded, since all of their words sounded very close to the same with each other that it is a learned tradition,  not real tongues.  i have heard real authentic tongues,  its scary,  its real,  it cant be repeated, its so complex,  never the same,  there was no interpreter,  but im trying to find one,  those who claim to speak in tongues i wish they could hear the real tongues, then compare,  i dare it to come close,  it wont,  if it does,  it does,  but it is not given to everyone, not even close,  its given to very very few,  and those who do it to edify themselves,  stop,  and stop lying to yourself,  get your emotions in line,  is it real? or is it just a learned tradition,  i dont mean to offend anyone,  its just the truth,  once again,  check 1 cor. 12-14,  there u will find the backing for all of this
