Were you crying
 

when you received the baptism of the Holyghost, with the evidence of speaking in tongues?

nope

No reason for that, because I was already saved because of what Christ did on the cross. :-)

What was the setting, I am curious...anyone I've known has received it/him while literally crying out to God...

Re: Were you crying
 

Nope. I grinned a little but that was about it.

I was 19 yrs old on my knees leaning over on my bed praying the following after weeks of tarrying "Lord if you ever answer a prayer of mine answer this one(Hoy ghost)" Felft something in my stomach then shut up out my mouth and spoke in tongues.

I was by myself.

bible doesn't teach one must cry to received it. Believe and ask.

Thats pretty cool, IMO. Thanks for sharing.



Agreed.

I was not crying. As a teenager, I was kind of self-conscious.

To my dismay, I had been pushed down to the altar by an evangelist who informed me that he was "hot on my trail." I was uncomfortable and wanted to get away from the well-meaning, but pesky altar workers. So I started making stuttering noises, and they told me that it was tongues. Didn't feel much emotion at all that night.

Now, however, when I pray in tongues, I often feel more emotion.

I remember this language. It recollects as being truth that was being overstated then, and now I know enough to note that a search of the bolded above has no returns? Little help, where does this edify? Where does it originate? It takes a beautiful gift and makes it some requirement. Sorry, this is a tender area, I bet. I'm just a pod, please do not answer this post.
