I's easy to write something out like that. but an honest person, will not fake tongues. And if someone does, they are a hypocrite. But that does not mean that all tongues are faked. I personally never heard anyone speak in tongues, that I knew that they were faking.

You faked tongues in writing, but did you ever try to do it in speaking? Did it sound intelligent?

I tried it once when I was 11 yrs old, (not in a group) just to see what a foreign language would sound like. I couldn't make any intelligent sounds. And any language, whether foreign or unknown will have stops and starts, and different inflections, that you can tell it is a language. Unless you are sitting there, trying to pick the language apart, just because you don't understand it.

To me, Mexican sounds like gobbly-gook, but you can tell that they are speaking a real language by the starts and stops and inflexion of their voice.

I still don't believe that tongues are faked.

They are used many times in ignorance---like preachers on TV, while preaching, to try to prove how spiritual they are.
The church all speaking in unknown tongues, all at the same time.
Or a backslide person that God has given them in the past, the gift of unknown tongues. (God doesn't take His gifts back)
Or a demonic person, there to deceive.
Or IF a person has learned to imitate, they would have to practice, and practice to deceive. Which would be a hypocrite.

I still don't believe that people are faking tongues. But I could be wrong. If anyone on here has , please raise your hand
