I don't think one can just walk around gibber-gabbering and say they are speaking in tongues. I also think the heavy emphasis on tongues for salvation has caused many to "fake" it...and many preachers will even claim it for them...take Borat for example...according a well known UPC evangelist, think his name last name is Godwin, "He's Got it"...and it is obvious all he done was slur his speach...I know they have recanted his baptism...but how many stand up on the platform with the preacher bragging and the person sheepishly nodding their head only to walk out confused??

I wholeheartedly agree with this post, and my apologies to Greg Godwin - I am confident his heart and intentions were right!
