Speaking In Tongues

[nailit]

Anyone here on AB into this stuff?

[waterboatman]

It can be fun!

[Peter Pedant]

// Speaking in tongues is the probably the nearest thing to madness it has ever been my misfortune to witness.//

more of a misfortune to have - surely?
"This day, much against my Will, I did in Drury-lane see two or three houses marked with a red cross upon the doors, and "Lord have mercy upon us" writ there - which was a sad sight to me" 3 Jun 1666
but surely sadder for the people inside

called Glossolallia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossolalia

speaking in a foreign language that you havent heard before ( blimey how does that work?) is xenolallia
and is specifically mentioned in the NT

as Nigh might say after deep thought - o we know all that !

I did say 'probably' - but perhaps ....

I used to watch a few programmes on the God channel.
Watching the money preacher charlatans imitating tongues was so sad and funny.
Wendy Alex was a great clown. Sadly some must fall for it and send them money.

I speak English, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, a bit of Pushtoo and a bit of Arabic.

Isn't this an element of Pentecostal worship?
Happily I've never encountered it.

Predominately Pentecostal Sandy, but now popular in other denominations too.
No need to miss out ;-)…
