do you speak in tongues

[~candice~]

As far as resurrections go, this thread takes the cake. There would have been hundreds (literally) of tongues threads since, LOL. But anyway, my answer is yes I do speak in tongues.

Do you understand what you are saying? Do your listeners understand?

Does it enhance your relationship with God?

I pray in private, and no I can't understand what I am saying, nor could anyone eavesdropping, unless they were an interpretter. Yes it does enhance my relationship with God.

So it's not a cognitive thing, then? Do you know what language you are speaking?

Paul mentions tongues being used to talk to God (aka Prayer).

I use tongues to pray. No, I do not understand my words. It's great for me because I often have urges to pray but do not have the words, or if I want to pray from my spirit without my thoughts and will getting in the way.

Yes, it does enhance my relationship with God.

[Mark2005]

For those who practice this......

Can you do this anytime, anywhere? Or it is limited to certain times, places, moods, etc?

I pray as His Spirit moves me. If it were up to me, would it be His Spirit praying, or me?

Anytime.

[Bold Believer]

As long as it is in another language that is recognizable as a language, fine. What I have heard practiced in American Pentecostal/Charismatic churches doesn't qualify. "Shonda dabonda galonda, si my new bow tie" (and other such foolishness) is hardly a foreign language. When you couple such nonsense with other alleged manifestations of the Spirit, like barking, howling and shaking and so forth, it turns a church service into a circus.

The evidence of the Holy Spirit is love, not tongues.
