Do you bealive all that shouting and speaking in tongues could just be a sexual frenzy brought on by overwrought emotions? Like some of those teenage girls at the beetle concerts back in the seventies? Before you answer have you ever watched those people when they get the spirit?

You are blaspheming against the holy ghost and that's a sin that your not forgiving for need to watch what you say, and read the word of GOD.

speaking in tongues
The miraculous ability to speak a language one has never previously spoken. Jehovah's spirit enabled early Christians to do this for the purpose of preaching the good news to {foreign speaking} persons. Speaking in foreign languages is not heard among Witnesses unless a person happens to know more than one language, which is neither miraculous or unusual. To the contrary, the ``miraculous'' ability to speak in tongues today, as is performed in some Pentecostal churches, is a fairly sure sign of demon possession. (1Co 13:8)


and no i have never seen them do and isn't it Beatles and didn't they break up in the 70's?

Under hypnosis people can be made to speak in tounges. In these Pentacostal churches people go into a self induced transe-like state and start uttering absolute gibberish. It is total nonsense and has nothing to do with the 'holy spirit' It is a regression to a primitive mental state where instinctive behaviour is mistaken for the holy spirit entering ones body.

Well it was the girls and the Beatles in the sixties. They had already broke up in the seventies.

Anyway to answer your question, it is not of God for sure. I know because I spent 3 years in this movement from 1972 to 1975.

Yes, I have watched closely those who supposedly in the spirit. I even sought after it myself. I was run out of those churches for my honesty.

When I spoke in tongues it was after many months going to the altar every week and one night after 45 minutes of drums blaring, Guitars blasting the preacher and other men keeping a very tight hold on my head, my arms raised, me saying Jesus, Jesus, over and over, many men and women dancing around me in ecstasy my body finally broke down and I started speaking gibberish, and moving involuntary and everyone was praising God that this evil sinner had finally let go and let God in.

Well being the honest person I am, after I regained my senses, I merely explained that what I experienced was just a normal psychological response to all the pressure I was under and that it was not from god, but self induced and I had to leave, I was considered demon possessed ever since. My dad spent the next 25 years calling me a demon and turned my kids against me. He died hating me and thinking I was demon possessed.

My personal expereince with this movement all my life with friends and reletives in it, I have noticed that it takes most people many months or years brain washing themselves in order to beleive this stuff, but when the brain washing takes effect, then there is no listening to logic or reason. I watched my dad brain wash himself over 40 years(he had started before I was born and was about 50 years old when he finally beleived this) and my mother nearly as long before finally actually believing and embracing this doctrine. My mother did fight it much longer and harder than my dad, but when she gave in, she gave in.

I personaly dont care for it
6 Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?
8 Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.

Do you think that this is bad?

There are many passages from God's Word like the following:

Ps 33:3-5
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.

4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
(from New International Version)


Ps 47:1-2
Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.
2 How awesome is the LORD Most High,
the great King over all the earth!
(from New International Version)


Ps 66:1-4
Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
2 Sing the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious!
3 Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you.
4 All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing praise to your name."
(from New International Version)

What you don"t agree with by your Word,is a comfort to me.

Satan speaks in tongues,example abra kadbra,or some chant
spoken over and over,some mutter and some let their "spirit guide" speak.I'll stand with Penetcostals on this one.

no, when I speak in tongues I'm a lot more satisfied with God's perfect joy and peace than any sexual pleasure would be.

I am one of them, and yes, I have.
