Isn't is possible for one to learn to speak in tongues? I have not been in church very long but I have noticed that some people seem to say the same phrase over and over and some just babble (like buh, buh, buh, buh, etc.). I am not criticizing..just wondering..

I think what I'm trying to convey is that no one should demand someone to be emotional such as speaking in tongues, dancing, leaping... but that it should come naturally at times not that it has to everytime you go to church, but just to have no emotions ever - I think a person can have someemotions sometimes. Do you see what I'm saying - I'm probably muddying the waters more - sorry.

No need to apologize sister! You view is the dominant one among OPs.
I am just presenting an alternative.
Just to be clear, my view is NOT an anti-emotional one!

Jesus wept. He had compassion on the multitudes, but do we ever read of Jesus or His apostles running and jumping and shockamooing? I am not against this. I believe in God moving upon people and the reaction to the Spirit. However, we don't see a lot of what we call "shouting" in scripture. On the day of Penetecost, those standing by perceived that those who were in the upper room might be drunken - but what did that mean? Were they staggering? Where they so happy that they were laughing? Were they acting so care free and laid back? What are the opinions regarding "we are not drunk as ye suppose"? What exactly do you think was happening? I am new here, but I would like to know the opinions of others.

Joy was always a component of being filled with the spirit. They were filled with joy and it was overflowing and showing on them.
The other thought is that they heard them speaking on dialects that they knew these men should not be speaking in. They might have thought of this as babbling, like a drunken person mght do.

Speaking of being drunk in the Holy Ghost.... I read on another forum were at the imfamous NYC a boy was saying he was so drunk in the Spirit that his friends had to carry him to his Hotel room. While they were walking back they met a cop who thought the boy was drunk. Just curious is that a good witness?

If I get to go back to Hawaii after this trip to Honolulu it will be to Maui. I have heard it is actually much nicer than Honolulu.
