Jargons!
How can you speak so confidently about what you don't understand?
Tongues is a language but it's a spiritual language.Do you speak or understand Mandarin?If a man speaks mandarin,will another Chinese man understand him?Yes,but you do not because it is strange to you nevertheless it's a language understood.Does it have the same words when spoken by another man?Yes.
Tongues can have similar words and they can be repeated.It doesn't make it nonsense.
Interpreting it comes as another gift.Some have that gift.

Have you ever experienced "speaking in tongues" being translated before?

Example of those who spokeunto God in tongue

Paul

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. 14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 18 I THANK MY GOD, I SPEAK WITH TONGUES MORE THAN YE ALL.


Cornelius and those with him.

Acts 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,


The disciples at Ephesians

Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 19:7 And all the men were about twelve.

It's at different prayer meetings.We all are usually praying but suddenly you have someone's who's speaking in tongues and the voice is loud and intense.Someone in the crowd says this is what she said.
Most times it's a message exhorting God or an instruction for the congregation.

You are still blabbing bro. They spoke in tongue but in languages people understood.

The same paul rebuked those who speak in tongue without interpretation.

1 Corinthians 14:27 ►
New International Version
If anyone speaks in a tongue, two--or at the most three--should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret.

The first verse says "unfulfilled".

BTW, how come only paul claimed to have spoken in tongue unto God which left him unfulfilled according to his word? Of what value was then the spoke word if he was left unfulfilled?

Who else spoke in tongue unto God that didn't end up unfulfilled like Paul?


Now let me ask you. Have you spoken to God in tongue before? If yes, did you understand yourself or got a response?

Lastly how come most tongues heard in Nigeria are similar, repetitive and very predictable?

Lastly, stop typing "hope you have learnt" when you're only deluding yourself.

interpretation of tongues is a gift of the Holy Spirit...

tongues also is not an earthly language but a spiritual language..

you need to be highly connected to the spirit to understand (when you have the gift)

not interpreting plane text...

the meaning is not certain..

when we speak in tongues.. the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. that is He prays for us. telling God our heart desires and worship...

so the meaning of that at that time may not be be meaning later..

it takes men of the spirit to understand things of the spirit!!!

are u sure u know what u're saying?? cos my bible never at any point in time told me that the holy spirit intercedes for me whenever I speak in tongue. well let's check
1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
1 Corinthians 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

1 Corinthians 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

Your second paragraph says it all.

Unknown foreign tongue/language. Its unknown because those who speak such languages were missing but foreign because they know its a foreign lang.

The so called tongue unto God have no bearing because there is no way to prove that it's actually to God and not jargons especially when it becomes repetitive and uniform.

Paul never rebuked? Did you bother to read the scriptures I quoted?

Lastly, pagans do the same, herbalist and other religions do this tongue things too. anyone can claim to be speaking to God while spreading jargons.

I am only convinced by the tongue that comes with interpretation or at least understood. Any other one remains jargons to me.

So, what is the benefit of speaking in tongues?

1 Cor.14:4 says,'he that speaketh in an unkown tongue edifieth(builds,charges his spirit) himself'.One benefit of speaking in tongues is that it energises your spirit.It gives you this inner assurance that you can do it,overcome whatever challenge you are facing.It also drives fear away from your heart.You have a sense of dominion.You can't speak in tongues regularly and be a fearful person.

Rom.8:26 says,'likewise the Spirit helpeth our infirmities for we know not how to pray as we ought'. Another benefit of speaking in tongues is that you are able to communicate better with God in prayer.The human mind is limited in communication with God.Speaking in tongues takes you higher in your communication because you are speaking a language that the Spirit of God puts on your lips.

So did someone eventually translate or...

You are so funny. You are clearly not familiar with the Bible. The AMPLIFIED Bible is in known with the art of amplifying words by putting a number of synonyms in brackets. Now, that's what you are building your own doctrine on, the two words in brackets! Laughable.
Even a primary school English language student will know that the context of "(Unknown, Foreign) language" is different from that of "Unknown foreign language". UNKNOWN and FOREIGN are clearly used in the same context to mean ALIEN. It connotes that the Language was alien to them. It wasn't a language they understood. They clearly couldn't tell whether it was hausa or mandarin. They just knew it was unknown. How come you couldn't tackle this one:
Acts 10:46 For they heard them talking in [UNKNOWN] TONGUES (languages) and extolling and magnifying God. Then Peter asked ?
Unknown is clearly Unknown. Nothing less. Hope you get?

The so called tongue unto God have no bearing because there is no way to prove that it's actually to God and not jargons especially when it becomes repetitive and uniform.

Kai! Ignorance at its peak. You don't have to prove whether it is God you are speaking to na. The Bible says it all.
1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God...

To doubt this is to disbelieve the Bible and not walk by faith.


2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight (sensory perceptions).

You need to learn these things (if you are a Christian).

Paul never rebuked? Did you bother to read the scriptures I quoted?

Which scriptures did you quote. I no see am o. Please quote it again. For the records, Paul never rebuked those who spoke in tongues without interpretation like you said. That's a fat lie. It's either you don't understand English, the portion of scripture or even both.

Lastly, pagans do the same, herbalist and other religions do this tongue things too. anyone can claim to be speaking to God while spreading jargons.

That Pagans are doing something that appears like it doesn't make it unscriptural na oga. For instance, Pagans and herbalists praise and eulogize their gods, does that mean praise and worship unscriptural? They give and sacrifice to their idols, does that make giving in Christianity wrong? Idol worshipers dance and make pledges before their idols, does that make dancing and pledging in the church wrong? Clearly not? The church is not the one copying. The scriptures teach Christians what to do.

I am only convinced by the tongue that comes with interpretation or at least understood. Any other one remains jargons to me.

Thats my last take on this

Clearly, you did not read my previous post. You just picked my second paragraph and made your own conclusions from the bible of your own mind. It's sad. I explained the interpretation aspect. You should go over my last post. It should help.

About 6 pages and 18 days later, still no translation Where are my brothers in Christ Embassy? joagbaje, petra1 your help is needed. I am sure you are close to Sinach as a CE pastor. Biko just translation, anything other than quoting verses upandan for me is allowed even cooked up translation I will accept. Let's kill the thread the shame is too much, biko.

It doesn't require translation. You see a Christian can speak in tongues in prayer to God , a christian can speak in tongues to give words of prophecy to people and a christian can speak in tongues to edify himself and such case require no interpretation. It's for himself alone and to God.

1 Corinthians 14:28
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

1 Corinthians 14:4
4 He who speaks in a [strange] tongue edifies and improves himself, but he who prophesies [interpreting the divine will and purpose and teaching with inspiration] edifies and improves the church and promotes growth [in Christian wisdom, piety, holiness, and happiness].


So that's the case with Sinach . She wasn't giving a word of prophecy in tongues which requires interpretation but she was rather edifying herself. And that's the case when you find a whole church speaking in tongues . They are either praying to God or edifying themselves . Such require no interpretation

Brainiacmrtolz:


Who is that perfect man that ever lived on earth? Even the Lord Jesus Christ condemned been called good ( not because he wasn't perfect, He was perfection). who is that man that God has personally chosen to judge and condemn his servants? you?.

Was apostle Paul perfect in all his ways in his ministry? was he even not a persecutor of believers of Christ until he had an encounter with God?
How perfect was Abraham? who lied about his and his wife's identity, and committed adultery with a slave.Didn't God called him his servant, a man after his own heart?
How perfect was David? who committed error upon errors and yet God called him his friend.
Didn't the Lord Jesus Christ wrote on the ground and then said that the man who has never sinned should first cast a stone.

were we not taught to pray for our leaders in the church that they may not miss their way lest they mislead us?

Strike the shepherd and the flock will scatter

Were we not taught to love our neighbor as ourselves? were we not taught to examine ourselves? To remove first the pebble in our own eye before we can unto another?

Didn't the Lord Jesus Christ address an issue like this in pain when he proclaim a curse saying "oh ye Jerusalem who stones the prophets, woe unto you!"

King Saul as wicked as he was to David, was he not spared by David saying he dare not put his hands on an anointed man of God?

Didn't David mourn his death and even demanded that the circumstances around Saul's death must not be published in the streets of the Philistines.

2 Samuel: 1. 20. Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

-And if a minister be wrong in his way of faith, is judging and condemning him or her the real way to help.

Don't you see that our God is love not hate

My brother we are sent to preach the gospel and guide ourselves in prayers lest our brother or sister give in to the devil (the tempter).

Let's pray for our fellow Christian to have an encounter with God not cast a stone on them.
Unconditional love must be in within the body of Christ not hatred.

if a kingdom be divided against itself it cannot stand.
look towards the greater image of our religion not of a man.

This is not about who is and is not perfect.
Brother, please speak in accordance with the word of God. 2tim 3 16... The scripture is there for reproof and correction. Peter being an apostle did not stop Paul from rebuking him in line with the scripture. David being king did not stop Nathan from rebuking him.

Yesterday, I decided to listen to the official video of Sinach's most famous worship song, 'Way Maker':

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4XWfwLHeLM
I'm pleased to say that I enjoyed this video much better than her singing during the Benny Hinn program I reviewed earlier.

However, I have a problem. At 4:32 she spoke some words which I don't understand: "bo shadada vandasanda". After singing some more, at 4:52, she sang these words "o rerererebo shande yama zeke allelu," which I don't understand either. When I asked for the translation, I was told she was speaking in tongues which, fortunately, can be interpreted by those who have the gift of interpretation.

I hereby call upon Nairalanders with the gift of interpretation of tongues to interpret those words for us so we can fully appreciate the song.

The question now is,what are you really saying?
Are you intentionally selecting verses in the same chapter to decieve?
Are tongues meant to be used when addressing a gathering or audience without interpretation?
How many people or so called ministers adhere to the direct command of Paul that when in a public gathering tongues should be interpreted or the speaker should be quiet?
Are biblical tongues gibberish as we hear today or languages of people, considering Paul's statement that "there are many languages in the world, but none is without a meaning"?

If you need to rebuke please write letters just as apostle Paul always did, even Samuel protected the dignity Saul in public,when he failed to killed all man and animal in the and as God instructed because Samuel knew that judgement is of God only.
Nathan never publicised his rebuke unto David for for the world to hear.

If you know the rate at which social media and print media of this generation has driven people from God you wouldn't want to go online and start condemning ministers of God, because there are some people who gave their life to Christ because of them.

It destroys them, their works and all they stand for
Christians even go to extent of printing out articles just to destroy ministries they don't like and claim God revealed unto them to do so.
In the Islamic world, if you speak against their religion or leaders, it's called blasphemy and you can get killed for it. Not because they believe that they are perfect but they protect their own.

But in the Christian world it is a normal thing. We get attacked and killed all the time.
Even christians against each other and the unbelievers ridicules and rejoice about it.

Now if you declare to the world that certain ministers of God are bad all the time how perfectly can you can prove to unbelievers(who has their own believes and religions) the authenticity of your religion.

My point is it takes a lot of courage and sacrifice to put yourself out there to preach the gospel of God. So if you must rebuke or protest against against a minister of God. Don't go cowardly online and condemn him or her. Write a letter or personally approach him or her and give your counsel.
