since there seems to be a "named spirit" for whatever circumstance a person with a microphone needs....I suppose if someone with a gift of discerning of spirits (please there is no gift of discernment) is in earshot of KWWS, he may hear the words:
"come out of him you spirit of secularly studied serial syllables"
or
"come out of him you spirit of AFF post reader"

While we are talking about Evidence of Spirit Infillings I think this movie had some Evidence of Spirit infilling...THE EXORCIST I would post youtube video but that might not be appropriate for the forum
right. So would a "message in tongues qualify" as the evidence? Is it tongues and tongues only? Just wondering if other gifts of the Spirit are also evidence or not.
If any gift is mentioned, tongues is mentioned. Prophecy is mentioned once (Acts 19:1-7). The way it is worded, it can be taken that all spoke with tongues and they all prophesied also, or it can be taken that some spoke with tongues and some prophesied.
I have seen this happen, the person was delivered from alcohol and drugs... he did a total turn around... he repented and was baptised on Sunday morning... dark look around him vanished... he glowed....he shed his whole druggie appearance (no one ever had to tell him to). He was devoted to the word of God and faithful to church. He was radically changed without ever speaking in tongues.... which he finally did one year later.
His experience was so radical that it confused me... I questioned how it happened several times.
I still have no answer because I do believe that the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost baptism is speaking in tongues....and it is needed to live an overcoming life and to walk in the Spirit.
One-steppers would say the person was justified/saved/born again and then baptized in water and one year later received an empowering or filling of the Holy Spirit or a baptism in the Holy Spirit.

I'm sorry, but those videos had me rolling on the floor! Especially the birthday one! That was hilarious!
In all seriousness, the faking stuff that you hear sometimes makes me nervous. Speaking in tongues is such a personal experience and so reverent to me, that it bothers me a great deal when I hear someone "try to fake" the Spirit.
As for the question, I think God can use anyone to do just about anything. I think the issue for me would be, would I accept it just because I knew their lifestyle and the fact that they were missing the evidence I needed to see in order to believe?????

What makes you folks think they are "faking it" in the video?
I am not sure that I think that. Of course I am not of the opinion God "takes over" one's speaking ability. It is ecstatic utterance to be sure, but at the same time something that is fully controlled (released or withheld) by the speaker - hence the detailed instruction by Paul, and prohibition of speaking in tongues in church unless it is interpreted.
Those in the video are not unlike what I have heard in churches - be that to their credit or discredit, I dunno.
