How do we speak in tongues?

MARJOE GORTNER, Youngest Evangelist In History, Explains::\n\n"After you've been saved," Marjoe continued, "the next step is what they call 'the infilling of the Holy Spirit.' They say to the new convert, 'Well, now you're saved, but you've got to get the Holy Ghost.' So you come back to get the tongues experience. Some people will get it the same night; others will go for weeks or years before they can speak in tongues. You hear it, you hear everyone at night talking in it in the church, and they're all saying, 'We love you and we hope you're going to get it by tonight.' Then one night you go down there and they all try to get you to get it, and you go into very much of a trance -- not quite a frenzy, but it is an incredible experience.\n\n"During that moment the person forgets all about his problems. He is surrounded by people whom he trusts and they're all saying, 'We love you. It's okay. You're accepted in Christ. We're with you, let it go, relax.' And sooner or later, he starts to speak it out and go dut-dut-dut. Then everyone goes, 'That's it! You've got it!' and the button is pushed and he will in fact start to speak in tongues and just take off: dehan-dayelo-mosatay-leesaso ... and on and on."\n\nMarjoe paused. Flo was dumbfounded by his demonstration, although he hadn't gone into the jerking, trance-like ecstasy that is commonly associated with the tongues movement. I'd seen the classic version in his movie, yet even in this restrained demonstration, Marjoe appeared to be triggering some internal releasing or babbling mechanism. I asked him how he brought it about.\n\n"You'll never get with that attitude," he joked. Then he went on to explain the true nature of the experience. His perspective showed it to be a process that requires a great deal of effort to master.\n\n"Tongues is something you learn," he emphasized. "It is a releasing that you teach yourself. You are told by your peers, the church, and the Bible -- if you accept it literally -- that the Holy Ghost spake in another tongue; you become convinced that it is the ultimate expression of the spirit flowing through you. The first time maybe you'll just go dut-dut-dut-dut, and that's about all that will get out. Then you'll hear other people and next night you may go dut-dut-dut-UM-dut-DEET-dut-du... and it gets a little better. The next thing you know, it's ela-hando-satelay-eek-condele-... ... and it's a new language you've got down."\n\nExcept that, according to Marjoe, it's not a real language at all. Contrary to most religious understanding, speaking in tongues is by no means passive spiritual possession.

Actually, speaking in tongues is supposed to be a special gift that is only given to some people according to the Bible. Not every Christian can speak in tongues. According to the basic Christian faith, one has to actually want to speak in tongues to be able to do so. No certain type of Christian is given such an ability. \n\nAlso, speaking in tongues can also be dangerous because it can result in the work of the devil because there is no sure way to establish what the speaker is actually saying. It could be a innocent prayer, or it could be an utterance of the devil. Thus, speaking in tongues is not necessarily always good.

The reason for all the different denominations is differing opinion over certain parts of the Bible.\nOne of the biggest bones of contention is speaking in tongues.\nMy Uncle, an ordained Baptist preacher didn't believe in speaking in tongues as it is applied today.\nThe Pentecostal religion is real strong on speaking in tongues.\nThat's just one example.\nRemember religion as we know it today is man made.\nIt's all about faith in  GOD and acceptance of Jesus Christ.

They get their name from the day of "Pentecost". On that day the Holy Spirit descended on the church and people spoke in tongues. So, this group emphasizes, or rather, overemphasized speaking in tongues. \n\nThe worst of them believe that unless you speak in tongues you're not saved. Notice I say, the worst of them. They don't all believe the exact same thing. There are Trinitarian Pentecostals and Oneness Pentecostals (these deny the Trinity). \n\nIt's a group that's very emotional. Their services can become very chaotic with people running around the church and a lot of unrecognizable screaming (speaking in tongues they would say). I speak from experience, I've seen it. It's not misinformation, but look it up and you'll discover for yourself.

* * * What a good question. * * *\n\nThe 120 disciples in the upper room at Pentecost in the year 33 CE were given the miraculous gift of tongues, that is speaking in a KNOWN language in order to witness to those from other areas who had traveled to Jerusalem for the festival days and did not speak Hebrew or Greek.   (Please read Acts, Chapter 2.)\n\nThis gift was no longer needed after a time and was done away with.  (1 Corinthians 13:8 - "...where there are TONGUES, they will CEASE...")\n\nThere is no reason today for a person to speak in tongues, as   Bible literature is produced in hundreds of languages, and foreign speaking missionaries abound to spread the good news all over the earth, as foretold at Matthew 24:14.  Those claiming that the "Lord" has given them the gift of speaking in tongues are dealing with demonic powers.   Be careful.\n\nPS - People will often tell you that their gift is for edifying themselves, or that it's a way to pray in the spirit.   How does that afford a witness to others?   (It doesn't.)

the holy ghost doesnt always let you speek in tongues. its a form of baptism that is given to you by the holy spirit. a gift for those who accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior and believes that Jesus Christ died on the cross for the remitance of our sins.when god feels you are ready for this anniontment, he will pass it on to you. remember that god doesnt give you salvation to take it away. salvation is given to you by God for eternity. trust in God and keep faith in everything in life.

It is the same.\n\nSpeaking in tongues was just one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. But bare in mind that when they spoke in tongues everyone heard it in their own language since it was the day of Pentecost and you had Jews from other countries who spoke different tongues. It is not the false speaking in tongues being practiced in some Church's' today.\n\nThere are only three actual examples of speaking in tongues recorded in the Bible (Acts chapters 2, 10, and 19). If we look at these three cases, we should find a clearer picture of this controversial gift. \n\n"When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven [divided] tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:1-4.  \n\n \nFire is a symbol for power. God sent this gift in the form of tongues of fire so they would know that He would empower their feeble tongues in the same way He strengthened Moses to go before Pharaoh (Exodus 4:10-12) and touched Isaiah's lips with a coal from the heavenly altar (Isaiah 6:6, 7).

just go by what the word says and not people.there are to many Church's out there who preach there opinion rather than the word.read that entire chapter of Corinthians.Paul does stress that speaking in tongues is necessary.he say that is is better to prophesy than speak in tongues and that tongues should be spoken only when someone has the gift of interpreting.god is a god of order and there are to many Church's who are out of order when it comes to speaking in tongues.1Corinthians has everything you need to know.

Absolutely it is insanity.  Have you ever seen/heard someone speaking in tongues?  It is truly frightening!

other tongues are languages there were many who were there that spoke with different tongues,that is why they spoke in tongues they didn`t know to edify those who didn`t understand.\nThe Holy Ghost Babtizes you  and you have an over flowing and that is the tongue of Angels or Stamering lips.I`ve seen people saved and filled up and they just get the stammering lips this is considered a tongue.I`ve had that happen.

It seems that they are speaking gibberish, but that they don't know it.  They essentially trick themselves into having this religious experience.  This is not saying that someone CANNOT speak in tongues through the Holy Spirit, but only that if they did, only that the examples we see today do not appear to be actual supernatural experiences.  Every linguist who has studied various individuals speaking in tongues has stated that what is being spoken is not an actual language (not just a known language, but that it isn't language).  There are those also that believe they have the gift of interpreting these tongues.  But, when a recording of someone speaking in a tongue has been brought to several interpreters, the interpretations are not the same.  \n\nPeople can trick themselves into believing they are speaking in tongues, or that they understand these tongues, but when put to the test, these "miracles" do not seem to be miraculous at all.  These people are not bad people, just fooled.

well you usually start out as a peck then for an invite to the other person touch their lips with your tongue, if they respond then open your mouth and hold it there together cos it might get a bit watery with all that saliva, massage your tongues lightly and when you feel like you have had enough push there tongue out with yours light and end with a soft peck, easy when you have practice... good luck

WE are spirit.there is one God. one spirit of God. one soul in each of us. yes we are mammals, primates, animals. and most act like it, but we do have the ability to contact the spirit of God.to be in Communion with it, to be guided by it, to ask questions, in this way we can raise ourselves above the animistic behaviors of our ancestors, God be with you. pray . ask Gods   spirit into you, nothing else reallly matters but faith in God,and trying to do his will. love and peace to you
