The speaking in tongues as was described to me by a friend who I trust did not fit the biblical example of the day of Pentecost.
On that day there were people assembled from many places who spoke many languages. There was a need for the disciples to be able to speak to those people in their native tongues. God wanted the visitors to hear the Gospel. So he gave the disciples the ability to speak in languages the visitors could understand.
For people who all speak the same language to walk into a building and began speaking in tongues does not fit the biblical account. There is no need for an interpreter if all speak the same language.

It sounded like induced hysteria. I attended one meeting where many of their children had heard adults go into a kind of shivering fit and start talking in gibberish.
A little girl about 5 got up, started rolling her eyes back and sprouting similar unintelligible sounds.
The people started yelling praises and saying the child had received the holy ghost, like a kind of child prodigy,. Later at the buffet, the parents and child were admired and fawned upon.
No, I'm not a Pentecostal, was visiting a childhood friend.

Tongues are where a person speak in a language that you have not learn. It could be French, German, or even Spanish. Go to Acts chapter 2 in your bible, that's the first recorded record of people speaking in tongues.

Christians seem to think that 'Speaking in Tongues' means babbling incoherently. It is actually a kind of induced hysteria.
In the bible, the 'gift of tongues' meant that anyone could understand your speech, no matter what language they spoke. For example, someone who had the 'gift of tongues' could be speaking to a crowd in Greek, and people who DID NOT UNDERSTAND Greek would hear and understand the speaker as if he were speaking in their own language... just like the 'babblefish' in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Of course, just like the 'babblefish', this is pure horseshit. It was horseshit in biblical times... it is horseshit now.

I was raised in a church that didn`t believe in that, but I have heard it,, I believe it, I don`t need a sign anymore, I was at church a few months ago, and after being saved over 13 years ago, for the first time in my life I was slain in the spirit, I would NEVER do that if it were not real, I would be scared Of God. I have never spoke in tongues, but I have heard it and had no dought it was very real.

I have attended churches where people there have claimed to speak in tongues, however, I can offer no proof as to the validity of these claims. I do know that the Bible makes references to speaking in tongues, but the church I grew up in was not a practitioner of this art.

Tongues is a spiritual gift. It does exist.
Problem is that it is very easy to fabricate.
It is just weird. I speak in tongues but never in public or where anyone can hear. I think its Aramaic but who knows? It helps me to shut up and listen when I pray. I pray in tongues but don't do it out loud. (Hard to explain) It ends up becoming meditation on my part. Awesome Gift. GOD has been the only person who could ever help me shut up long enough to listen!!!!
WhoOOo HooOOOo!
GOD Bless ya

It sounds like someone speaking in another language.
True story: I knew this guy who was working in a resturaunt. A guy from somewhere in the Mid East is working in the same vicinity of him. The first guy begins praying quietly in tongues as he is working (just barely a whisper), and the guy from the Mid East turns around and starts yelling at him, saying something like, "Jesus is not Lord. Allah is!" My friend had no idea what language he was talking in, but obviously, the guy from the Mid East knew the language.

Acts 2:38--read and believe---------its called Glossialia, speaking in an unknown tongue as proof of the holy spirit.

I was at a Joyce Meyer convention once and these people all around me started speaking in tongues. It was pandemonium. I have to tell you, it scared me to death. It's my opinion that, if this sort of thing truly was of God, it wouldn't have had that sort of effect on a born again believer in Jesus Christ! I stopped listening to her after that. There were also people falling down...I can't stand that sort of dog and pony show.
