Question about "speaking in tongues"

[Jay]

I really dislike the idea that people can speak intongues on command.

Well, if that was not possible there would not need to be instruction on the use of tongues... 2 or 3 at the most, pray that one interprets... etc, etc.

I agree with both of these posts!

Houston, I am referring to the instances where a person says, "I want you to talk in tongues now." That to me seems to be a bit out of line with Scripture. I will not say that I think that all cases are wrong, but when I have seen it become a habit in Pentecostal circles, I start to think that maybe there is something missing. Perhaps it was time that a lot of people took a lot of time to very carefully pray back through until such hyped-up nonsense is no longer necessary.

Hey that's a cool video. It would make a great Circus act.

Have you ever seen the dueling tongues video... Now that is just bizzare.
