Question about "speaking in tongues"

[shag]

Most, if not all the time that I here someone 'speaking in tongues", each syllable ends in a vowel. Especially what I hear from the microphone on the platform.

illio ha shati !!!
ya na na ma ha sa !!!

My question is, what in the world is that?

Why would you want to know?
God knows, that's good enough.

Actually, there are many words that end with what would be vowels in English. In Hawaiin (misspelled), if memory serves, all of the words in in vowels. Having taken some Spanish, I can tell you that many of their words also end in vowels. It is actually more likely an issue of percepetion rather than reality.

Further, who really cares.

It's something which the languages of this world cannot place syllables to meanings. It is not congenial with our understanding in world language. The bible calls it an unknown language. That means it cannot be learned.
Only in Acts does it relate to various languages heard on the day of pentecostal. That was for a purpose then, to show the Jews and other followers of prophecy that Joel was right and here it was...
Some churches in the pentecostal movement teach someone can get up in church and speak in tongues and then someone interprets the message to the church group. They say this is God addressing the church and people in the church. I don't follow that teaching because I know the Lord has my mail box address and keeps track on me through a heavenly GPS unit...

I really cares It is a public setting at church, and where I bring my children, I want them(and I) to understand what is happening.

So...tell me what is happening. Are you saying when someone has the microphone leading praise or worship, or when a precher is preaching, and each of them during their speaking give a "ya da da da ma na na ha" (all ending in vowels VERY often, if not always), that they are speaking to God"?

(also remember... scripture says "that" is NOT suppose to happen in a public setting without an intepreter...)

Guys, I have done that, and can do that any time I want to, while in prayer or while Im not even thinking about God....so are you saying it is God only when Im thinking about God, or all the time.....and please tell me, are you able to do the same?

See below concerning "unknown tongue"...

Something i found out yesterday, that I did not know, and I am guessing many probably did not know....(and of course many could care less LOL), is that in the bible where it says "unknown tongue", the word unknown is NOT in there in the original writing, it is only "tongue".

http://www.blueletterbible.org/searc...=unknown&t=KJV

So, that begs the question...does or even could it change what Paul originally tried to get across concerning the meaning of "tongues" and exactly what it is or is about ??? I would think it can be very possible, atleast.
I dont have a personal answer yet, just found that out so I wanna look at the scriptures without the "unknown', and see if it changes anything iMO...

Think maybe [unkown] was added because the person speaking in the tongue did not understand the tongue? And how would that change the way a person interprets the scripture?

Shag, why don't you ask your pastor?
He's the guy that is in authority there, he should give you an answer.

(If you run into a baptist on this forum he would tell you it's from the devil. That's what happened to me when I started to speak in tongues......of course I left that baptist church.)

I'm not a Christian and if I wanted to I could speak in the same tongues I used to speak with right now.

I think the explanation I got on here was that tongues is a gift that God gave and as such he won't take it away. It's a gift we can use anytime. However, most pentecostals hold tongues so sacred that they won't use them except as the enter or after they have already entered the presence of God.

Since you are not a christian, the "tongue" you would be speaking would be NOT the tongues referred in scripture.
