Well sir, the gift of tongues is a real thing...Just because Satan has a counterfeit is no reason to throw out the real thing....and all your gobbley gook does not change that...What Waggles says is correct, tongues is a good way to pray in the spirit, but I add that it is not the only way to pray in the spirit.I am going to throw this into the "gumbo" since confirmation is at the task. concerning the Biblical text referring to The Letter address to the unruly and unorthodox Assembly located in the city of "Corinth". They was doing everything, in the City "Corinth" so many different kinds of "Hocus Pocus" Religions, Greek Gods, Greek GODDESSES, Love gods, sex gods, sea gods, Temples everywhere, And they where also a lot "Glossolalia" going on! There was no Christian Buildings in "Corinth" the only "Circe" around there was "Idolatry" Temples. Just about on every corner, trinkets galore.l
The Corinth Assembly was doing all kinds of crazy stuff, One dude was sleeping with his daddies wife and everybody knew it. And did not say one word against it. And they was doing a lot more. These are newly converts who where pagans! "toga partying" specialist. Temples Orgies, "come out from among them" Women who use to be "Temple Prostitutes", "Temple Priestesses".
There was no rules or regulations, really for the new converts. And they bought a lot of that attitude into the Assemblies of believers. Even the greeks pagan worshippers who worship other gods had prophets, and priestesses, and when they change religion they brought some of that stuff with them.
Now can you see how the word "TONGUES" which means "languages" turns into a "Glossolalia". Easy. And don't forget, just because you got a greek Lexicon don't mean they had one. LOL!
I going to say, right now. The devil ain't no dummy. He is smart, you need Jesus to combat him. He does have his hands in "Definitions" and word changes, Etymology.
Some might say; Well the greek word for this, and it means this. LOL. What you are reading sometimes in your Bible ,today, there was no greek word relating to that in the context you are reading when it was spoken. So a word was skip in to days context of the greek language because they did not need a "bridge word" for that portion. The people had common sense in that vernacular.
"Tongues" [ Foreign "LANGUAGES"].
Then, just because some "Christians" abuse a gift does not make the gift bad, just the wrong usage of it Are you the type of person that loves to throw babies and bathwater together into the trash? It looks like it.
