Speaking in tongues?

[Biblica]

I have yet to see ANY Church or person talk in a language/tongue that they have never learned as in Acts 2:4-6
Are you aware of any ?

I had a friend who was a Christian singer. She is home with the Lord now. But years ago she was returning from a tour in Europe and she ended up sitting next to a language expert on the airplane. She asked him if he could tell her what her prayer language was. She spoke in tongues and he told her she was speaking perfect Syriac and he couldn't believe that she had never studied the language.

Another time a pastor I know and a friend of his visited a Pentecostal church and someone spoke in tongues. The pastor's friend knew Hebrew and he recognized that the tongue was Hebrew, but he said the interpretation that followed it was not what the person who was speaking in tongues actually said. So while tongues is a legitimate gift in operation today, because the gifts cannot be recalled, discernment is always required as the apostles told us.

In that case in this day & age there would be videos of believers effectively communicating to another person in a language that said believer never knew before

Please list one TIA :)

Baloney.
God does not work like that.
He is not your puppet you can just conjure up for the entertainment of plane passengers.
There is absolutely NOTHING in Scripture remotely resembling such nonsense.

There are videos of people speaking in tongues. I speak in tongues but I don't know what the language is.

Acts 2:4-6 tongues
Speaking in a language unknown to you yet understood by others
Do you have any videos like that that you can share ? TIA :)

Yes, some people today GENUINELY continue to speak in what Paul describes as an UNKNOWN tongue

From various messages that I have listened to I understand these types of tongues to be some type of praying to GOD

The tongues that I understand that no longer exist are when a believer talks in a language that they have never learned yet is fully understood & is able to be interpretated by another as in Acts 2:4-6

Oh it is indeed . yet many see the prosperity of the wicked as though he is blessed of God .
But do allow me some parting words .
IF the prophet be decieved , I the LORD have deceived that prophet and i will answer him according too
the IDOLS of his heart . these super rich wealthy men and women who preach the love of money prosperity gospel
actually THINK this is a blessing . No sir . ITs a deception . The love of money IS the root of all evil .
That is why many whose love has been money have always adapted to the changing times
in order to keep pews filled and bank accounts fat .

It was the successor to the United Methodist Church I pastored, not a Pentecostal, who spoke in fluent Korean at a prayer meeting, a fact confirmed by a Korean present in the meeting.

I have heard similar testimonies from people who I know and believe.
From what I can gather, it is almost always for a specific purpose affecting those nearby.
I do not know of anyone who can exercise this gift under their own volition.

A very good video. Thanks for posting.
I hadn't heard of Sam Storms before but will now seek out more of his teaching videos.

I do see a problem among some charismatic/pentecostal churches that a lot of it is fake, to glorify the person, not glorify Jesus Christ ... and sometimes it is just over-enthusiasm ... and sometimes it can be disorderly, as in the Corinthian church where there were immature believers.

I like how Sam grounds these things in solid Biblical teaching. We also need to remember that the exercise of spiritual gifts needs to be judged as it says in 1 Cor 14:29 & 1 John 4:1.

After a 3 page debate with you on Mark 16, I had no idea you believed that

Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.". NKJV

Ephesians 6:18 "Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers" NLT everywhere.

John 16:7 "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.". ESV

There are no scriptures that support any tongue not existing today. As I told you, my friend was speaking Syriac and was understood by a language expert, my pastor's friend recognized Hebrew. All tongues whether unknown or recognizable are legitimate languages with structure, never just babbling sounds.

I speak in tongues and have the ability to speak at anytime, because the Holy Spirit is in me all the time. I have found that the people who are against the gifts of the Spirit are actually afraid of intimacy with God and prefer a "religious" spirit that keeps Him at arm's length. I was talking to a pastor's wife about the gifts and she replied adamantly, "I have all of God that I need!" What she was actually saying was she had all of God she wanted.

Here is alink that was given to me from my AI assitant. I can't get on Facebook so I haven't heard this myself, but it is of a woman speaking in tongues in Chinese and recognized by people in the congregation. There are several others, but this is the best example according to AI. - 11 reactions · 5 comments | Whew, this my first time ever hearing tongues spoken in Chinese!
