My pastor wouldn't have tolerated that for a second.
We were taught that you don't have to "help" the Spirit speak through a person.
Encouraging someone to worship is fine; trying to get them repeating some garbled phrase so fast that it sounds like tongues is bad juju.
I'd be scared to death to try and make someone think they had received the Holy Ghost if they hadn't.
As a pastor, I don't allow that goofy stuff in the altar either.
