Encouraging someone to worship is fine; trying to get them repeating some garbled phrase so fast that it sounds like tongues is bad juju.
I'd be scared to death to try and make someone think they had received the Holy Ghost if they hadn't.
As a pastor, I don't allow that goofy stuff in the altar either.

My counsel to those in the altar is simply to seek the indwelling of the Spirit of the Almighty God not tongues. If they yield themselves to His infilling the tongues will take care of themselves. I have actually stopped seekers to have a conversation with them regarding what they are seeking. You would be surprised how many are seeking tongues. How misguided! Once they get the idea that they are there to seek the indwelling of the Holy Ghost instead of tongues they are quickly filled as it IS A PROMISE!
