Why is it easier...
...to speak in tongues when drunk than it is when sober and praying?

I never tried speaking in tongues when I was drunk.

And plenty of white men THINK they can dance better when drunk.

Me neither! But, about 30 years ago, when one of my sons was backsliden. He would come tell me about, preaching about Jesus, to those around him, IN A BAR. Of all things.

I think the reason was, he felt he was called to preach and he was running from God. But I wasn't too surprised, one of my granddads, just about every time he got drunk, he started preaching to anyone within hearing distance.

I believe that these things are on their mind, ad when the drink loosens up their inhibitions, then they speak what is on their minds.

It's not, unless you aren't really speaking in tongues at all but just babbling on your own

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Re: Why is it easier...
I have never been drunk since I spoke in tongues. I see it as a power in me that works against evil.

Don't drink booze, so I wouldn't have any idea.
