He would have them say it over and over, faster and faster, while pushing their head back and forth with one hand and with the other hand shaking their arm up and down.

He said having them say "Waliduea" , put that "doulble lick" on their tongue.

We had 80 pray thru in his revival, not many stuck but they got to report the numbers.

Of course we would never have someone repeat Walideua over and over. We just have them say Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus, Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus, Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus, Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus ....... Jethth...... Hebeth....there now you it !!!!!!!!!

I've looked and looked but I can't find anything resembling one of our O/P altar services in the bible.

I was surprised to read that Bro JT Pugh wrote that he believed something very similar in order to loosen people's tongues up and allow them to truly speak in tongues once they "practiced".
