Which of those do you see here?

This using tongues to edify or exalt self is exactly what Paul cautioned against in 1Cor.

Well, I know these two are controversial preachers.

But I was not there and don't know what happened.
Maybe they were showing people how NOT to use tongues.
Were you there?
I have seen many out of context utube videos, cut and pasted to discredit preachers.

Yes, the "public" use of tongues has clear scriptural perimeters. That is why much of the original questioning is mute. It should not even be heard unless an interpretation follows - vowel sounds or not.

Not for this in particualr but I have seen both Rodney and Kenneth preach and this is very much their styles. I have to tell you that after seeing Rodney my friend wanted to have him pray for her... I was so creeped out that I would not get anywhere near where he might even touch me... And if you knew me you would know how truly amazing that is because I don't spook.

Let me say this: What I see on that video does not look right and I am not a Rodney or Kenneth supporter, but I'm just saying
there are many utubes out there cut and pasted, even voices have been changed on some of them. Anything is possible these days.

u know....stuff like that.

My question is, what in the world is that?

Here is an excerpt from a message I wrote that should help you to understand the difference between the two manifestations of languages.

1) Is what I term 'our spirit language', that cannot be understood by the speaker or hearer, but we are speaking mysteries to God with 'our spirit'.

2) The gift of 'different kinds of languages' is given to a believer (Not All) by the Holy Spirit and this language CAN be understood by the speaker if they are given the interpretation by the Spirit and it CAN be understood by the hearer or another believer with the spiritual gift of interpretation of languages.

Kinds Of Languages

The spiritual gift of kinds of languages is given to a believer by the Holy Spirit. It is the supernatural ability to speak in a foreign language that one has not previously studied or had knowledge of. It is known languages of men (French, Spanish, Italian, etc.) that can be understood by others and interpreted by the speaker or one who has been given the spiritual gift of interpretation of languages.

The spiritual gift of kinds of languages should not be confused with the language that is spoken by all believers as the initial evidence or sign that they have received the Holy Spirit into their heart. This is a language that cannot be understood by man, and is commonly called 'prayer language'. It's a language that you speak through your spirit anytime to edify, build yourself up, and talk to God.

When Paul asked the Corinthian saints 'Do all speak languages?' he was talking about the spiritual gift of 'kinds of languages'! Not that some believers would speak new languages and some would not. It is true that all believers won't receive the spiritual gift to speak in kinds of languages (Russian, Chinese, German, etc.), but all believers of Jesus Christ will speak in another language as the Spirit gives them ability when they are baptized or filled with the Holy Spirit!

I have actually personally seen two people do this - speaking in tongues to each other and laughing like they understood each other. I was totally weirded out. Ha! I thought maybe I just wasn't as spiritual as them.

I have seen people who were in the Spirit (I am not talking about KC/KH style) who sat in the church, and it seemed like they were saying excellent things. However, none of them were facing one another, and all involved had their eyes closed. It was a sweet Spirit there and not that creepy stuff.
