Yes! speaking or praying in tongues is a way to communicate with God that only He understands. It takes complete submission on your part and to focus on His glory and to praise and worship Him. I was only and am only able to pray in tongues if I think of only Him and my heart feels so complete. It is an act that should be achieved by every Christian. God wants us to have a relationship with Him and I think this is one of the ways to display your filling of the Holy Spirit. Continue to read the bible, Know Jesus is our Lord and Savior, and get others to come to Heaven with you.

Perhaps not for quite the same reasons that you do, but yes, I do think we are living in the last days of this system of things. You are correct...there are a great many Bible prophesies coming true as we speak.

Sure.  I do it occassionally.\n\nI have also heard religious people say "Holy S**T!" - but I assume that they don't mean it literally.\n\nA

Yes, because I believe what the Bible says.\n\n"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strenghthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my rightious hand."- Isaiah 41:10\n\n"The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid."- Psalm 56:3\n\n"I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." -Isaiah 41:13\n\n"For He will command His angels concerning you to gaurd you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."-Psalms 91:11-12\n\n"Because he loves me," says the Lord,"I will rescue him; I will protect him for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. Whith a long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."-Psalm 91:14-16\n\n Jesus said,"....And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."- Matthew 28:20 b\n\n"We say with confidence,"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid."- Hebrews 13:6\n\nYes, God is with me and for me, by His grace through His Son Jesus, I am saved.\n\nGod bless you. I'm praying for you.

Yep, I am.\n\nThere isn't any church that teach the Word of God. Oh maybe a few verses then ranting or pontificating mans' words for 40 minutes. Church has become a stage show.\n\nBesides everytime I study God's Word, I'm at church.

Yes, but then I pray and get into the bible.\nLike Sawyer, I struggle greatly with things taught in church that aren't found in the bible.

Talking and praying in "Tounges" is a gift of the Holy Spirit. It is a gift that the Apostles recieved at Pentecost after Jesus ascended into heaven to sit at God's right hand. They recieved this gift from God when they recieved His Holy Spirit.\n\nThis gift is used by many Christians today as a means of communicating in the Spirit directly with God. Because we are hampered spiritually by our flesh and obstucted by our minds (the place where Satan does ALL of his real damage), God has provided us with a mean's to express those things that only our spirits know or understand but nonetheless need to be said. There is a complementry gift of "Interpretation of Tounges".\n\nMany Christians believe that these gifts were only given to those who formed part of the early church, that they were special gifts given to help the followers of Christ in the early days and effectively died off later.\n\nMy personal belief is that this gift never died off at all, that true Spirit filled believers are given the gift of Tounges when they recieve God's Holy Spirit and that they are only now begining to put it to use again.\n\nA good question would be, Why Now, Is there some special need, as was the case in begining times?\n\nAct 2:4\nAnd they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

if you are truly following Jesus, you allow Him to open the doors, you do not go and push them yourself.\n i would question who is getting the glory from your talks.

Yes I do.   It is in the Word of God.  Also Jesus, the disciples, as well as, the other apostles did it as well.  It was done as a commissioning of service.   I Timothy 4:14 says do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic messsage when the body of olders laid their hands on you.  Over and over in the New Testaments we are given accounts of the 'laying on of hands'.  Some were healed, delivered and set free.  So if the Bible says it, that settles  it for me.    May God Bless

It is okay if you think I am nuts but here goes.I talk to God by prayer, sometimes silently and sometimes outloud. God talks to me occassionaly at His time frame, In other words I don't have to be in a prayerful or spiritual mood for Him to speak. I cannot explain it but when He speaks to me, it is not silent in my head and it is not audible so that others can hear it but it is clearly audible to me.So yes, I have a relationship with Him. I also can feel His prescense in my life.Look to John 8:47,& 10:26-30 Jesus stated my sheep hear my voice and they know me(Jesus) and follow me. God may not communicate with everyone the same as He does with me but if you do not hear His voice in some manner then you don't know Him. My relationship with Him indeed started out as faith but you are correct in the change that takes place. I cannot prove this relationship to anyone but to me it is fact. You can not achieve fact without first having faith.

Jehovah's Witnesses understand "speaking in tongues" to refer to actual preaching in an actual literal foreign language, allowing foreigners to learn God's Word and Jesus' teachings.\n\nThe Scriptures indicate that when the bible writing was complete, such miraculous gifts would cease:\n\n(1 Corinthians 13:8-10) But whether there are gifts of prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease... For we have partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; but when that which is complete arrives, that which is partial will be done away with.

I know what you mean.  Why just the other day I was in the process of making a burnt offering an ox on the alter that I have erected on my front lawn (To get the Lord to rig the next power ball drawing for me, as per the bible, book of Carbonization, 23-10), when I was accosted by a pair of LDS missionaries.  They actually had the audacity to interrupt my opening benediction to ask if I was interested in their religion, and whats more, their caterwauling frightened the ox, who snapped his restraints and bolted, leaving me with a roaring fire, some very sharp knives, and two belligerent missionaries.\n\nAs I am sure you can guess, this sort of threw off my rhythm, and basically ruined the sacrifice.  Whats more, they refused to buy me another ox to sacrifice in place of the one that they had frightened off.  \n\nI just can't understand it.  I mean, I let them practice their religion in peace, why can they not extend the same courtesy to me?

you cannot "learn" to speak in tounges. It is a gift from the holy ghost. Alot of people gain this ability through intercesory prayer. You must believe in and follow our lord Jesus to receive such a glorious gift!

We say this together at my home:\n\nBless us Oh Lord and these Thy gifts which we are about to receive, from Thy bounty through Christ Our Lord.  Amen. \n\nThen we go around and say something individually, giving thanks to God for what we have.

I think that is one of the main ways God communicates to us. Our conscience is the holy spirit.
