I came to the conclusion that most of these people who proclaimed to speak in tongues, were just very verbally creative and were excellent at being the center of attention. I have a VERY hard time believing ANY of them actually really spoke in tongues. To this day, I still laugh about it. Anyone have these same experiences?  |
Yep. A lady in our church gave the same message every time. Something like this (maybe someone can translate for us):
Kodio mykada, kedio mykada, kodio mykada, kedio mykada.
Kodio mykada, kedio mykada, kodio mykada, kedio mykada.
Kodio mykada, kai.
(repeat)
After two or three of the above, she would end with an extra "Kodio mykada, kai." Some kind of heavenly sonnet, I guess. Funny thing is, the interpretations were always different.
