The danger of a counterfeit bill lies in its close resemblance to the genuine. Counterfeit money that is badly printed doesn't stay in circulation very long, but if it is accurately printed it can sometimes cause considerable damage to our economic system We must take the time to discover the characteristics of the genuine gift of tongues in order that we might compare what we hear, and evaluate it as true or false.
It is the glory of the Spirit to uplift the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. The mark of the Spirit-filled church is not a church that talks about the Spirit, it is a church that talks about Christ. The mark of the Spirit-filled person is not a person who is concerned and talking continually about the Spirit, but it is a person who is concerned and talking continually about the glory of Jesus Christ. This is the work of the Spirit in our lives.

The Spirit of God gives utterance. You have no control over it, let alone know what tongue you are praying in. There are many ways that tongues are uttered. Tongues and interpretations is only one way. The apostles spoke in tongues, and people present from many different regions heard them in their own native language, each one of them, a man from Egypt heard them in Egyptian, a man from Africa in his own language, etc. There are tongues not intended for anyone to understand, but are for God alone to hear. There is what is called stammering lips, that is merely the spirit crying out to God in joy, reverence and thankfulness. The believer rarely is in control of these things, as they are done in the spirit.

I am not a pentecostal for a simple reason,I speak english and pray in english, I also witness in english. I've been to churches where people started uttering stuff that no one else could understand and it is just like Paul said, I thought they were all insane.
I love my pentecostal brothers and sisters in Christ, but I don't agree with them on this tongues issue at all.

The gift of tongues is the God given ability to speak a known , but previously unlearned language for the express purpose of communicating the gospel message. It is not a 'heavenly language' or an 'unknown language'. What we see today in the Pentecostal and Charismatic church is absolutely Satanic and serves no purpose except to mislead potential Christians and drive people away from God. If you know someone who speaks in tongues-then you know someone who has been deceived by the devil himself.

When you pray in tongues it's God's own divine language that even the Devil can not break through.This is why tongues is different from our regular language. Tongues is actually a whole other language God gives to us.......The devil can intercept our thoughts and words when we're praying in our regular language. The Devil does have tongues to speak in as well though. Which is why it's important to understand what tongues is.

1Cr 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying [serveth] not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
