What was said in tongues that was upbuilding?
I don't recall the exact words it was 40 years ago, not a scribe and I'd hate to misrepresent it.

Have you ever heard someone “speaking in tongues” and wondered if they were doing it of themself; making it up?

In your opinion, when others speak in tongues (glossolalia), is God the speaker speaking through them?

If it’s legitimately from the Holy Spirit, from God. If it made up by a person for show no, a delusional person no, demonic no.

And who is the judge for determining legitimacy?

God, people pretend to be Christians, Prophets, loving friends, and safe childcare workers the deceptions in this word have been around since truth was spoken to us, the lie came shortly after that.

God

Kellyjay surely this is not correct. The bible instructs us to “discern the spirits” therefore it is us who are to decide whether someone is speaking in “legitimate” tongues.

I’m surprised that you’ve missed something as fundamental as this tbh.

If individuals who are said to be speaking in tongues are merely uttering unintelligible gibberish, how can you--or anyone else--determine whether what they say is true or false?

Are you acquainted with television personalities such as Kenneth Copeland and Paula White, along with other Prosperity Gospel pastors? Many of these figures claim to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and showcase in front of live and TV audiences, wanting to impress their followers with the ability to speak in tongues. Would you consider their claims to be speaking for God truthfully?

What does the Bible say?

Anyone can claim anything, if what is said isn’t lined up with scripture it’s false.

I speak in English only. The miraculous gift of languages has ceased.

Are you pretending that you aren’t aware of any of the various arguments against the contemporary use of speaking in tongues?
