Speaking in tongues is not a sin , however , many churches today err in its use . The Bible is clear , says not to speak in tongues UNLESS there is an interpreter . Many churches ignore this ! Also , it says let one speak at a time . Also ignored . So , its use can be a sin and since the Bible is Gods word , if the church uses it against Gods word , I do think this is blasphemous as the Holy Spirit would not call people to disobey the very Word of God .

It was Pentecost of the year 33 C.E. A change was due. A new covenant was to replace the ancient Jewish Law covenant. For what reason? To open up a better way to worship Jehovah God. How could people see that God’s blessing was upon this shift in worship? He would use an outburst of miraculous events, including the speaking in tongues, to move the hearts of righteously disposed people. These would see that the almighty God of their forefathers was indeed now conferring his approval upon Jesus’ disciples.
The gift of tongues served another purpose at Pentecost. In Jesus’ day, printing and broadcasting did not exist, and written records were not common among the ordinary people. Hence, the good news of God’s will and purpose would have to be carried forth on the tongues of believers. Worshipers of Jehovah had come to the Festival of Pentecost in Jerusalem from over a dozen lands in Africa, Asia, and Europe, and they spoke several different languages. About 120 of Jesus’ disciples also assembled in Jerusalem. Empowered with God’s holy spirit, the disciples started to speak with different tongues. What a banquet of good news was served to a multitude of worshipers! These were able to “hear them speaking in [their own] tongues about the magnificent things of God.”—Acts 2:5-11.
How effective was this miracle? Three thousand listeners became believers that same day! (Acts 2:41) Only a little more than two decades after Pentecost, Paul served notice that the gift of tongues would eventually cease. (1 Corinthians 13:8)Why? Because the miracles at Pentecost, as a confirmation of early Christianity, had served their purpose well and were no longer needed.
Today many feel that they are assisted by God’s holy spirit to speak in tongues. How can we reconcile this with Scriptural evidence that the gift of tongues has passed away?
Speaking in tongues usually amounts to highly emotional outbursts of sounds that no one understands. So it cannot be from God. Jesus said that religious hypocrites would try to attach his name to such “powerful works,” but he rejected these “workers of lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:21-23) And Paul prophetically warned of a future time when there would be fraudulent miracles, or “lying signs and portents.” Thus, “every unrighteous deception” is a specialty of the archdeceiver, Satan the Devil.—2 Thessalonians 2:8-10.
Did you know that speaking in tongues was a part of certain pagan religions of Greece in Paul’s day? Their rites mixed speaking in tongues with practices such as the cutting of the flesh and frenzied nude dancing. Such historical examples clearly show that speaking in tongues can occur under influences that are most unholy.

If one speaks in tongues in church without an interpreter and says they were led by the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost , then they are blaspheming the name of the Holy Spirit . If only they would read Gods Word , and not throw out the parts they dont like some would come out of this evil church

If you say that speaking in unknown tongues is of Satan.
Let me warn you that the angels of God cannot perform this miracle even Satan cannot perform this miracle only the Holy Ghost can.
with that said read this scripture in Luke 12:
10And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
calling the Holy Ghost, Satan or an unclean spirit is blaspheme against him and is unforgivable. You better know your Bible before you speak about stuff likr this.

On the day of Pentecost there was a cloven tongue that was spoken to all..... but this tongue all people from all dialects in that area understood what was being said....... and then you have the other tongue where you might know a variety of Languages where your a linquist that preaches from differing Dialects.......
I f there is another tongue that is spoken of besides the two i just mentioned....i'm not aware of it in a biblical since.....but heck i only know what i know.
I don't believe in confusion....for the gospel has to be done in a orderly fashion.
Peace to you!... Have a happy thanksgiving.

It depends what Church and what version of the Bible you are reading. My Aunt goes to an Assembly of God Church and thGod's ey believe that speaking in Tongues is God's way of privately praying with them and they are talking to him through their own language in public, but it's private. I'm Baptist, and some Baptists believe in Tongues, some don't. The hardshell traditional Baptist don't but some of the Softshell contemporary ones do. My Church never mentions it. I wouldn't mind having it. I will read those verses, though. Thanks for the info!! Good luck on your question!!

If any man ( women are expressly forbidden to speak in church) speak in an unknown tongue let it be by two or at the most by three , and that by course , and let one interpret ;
But if there be no interpreter , let him keep silence in the church
I assume that you are asking about "tongues" in church ! If alone , one can speak in tongues - no problem

My mother spoke in tongues when I was a little girl and her Baptist family were ashamed.
There are some people who can speak in tongues on their own.
I find that religious people run from anything remotely spiritual. My mother was very calm and at peace when she spoke in tongues. She couldn't help it. She wasn't drooling or trying to kill anyone. I feel her 'power' was good.
Instead of seeing it as a thing of evil, why not embrace it when it happens. Let it work for good...
