  2. God's language.... the language of the Holy Spirit?

    It's not a regular language that you can learn and recite...

  3. The purpose is to communicate to others of another language. Paul gave instruction, if someone spoke in tongues, and there was no one to translate it, to keep quiet, since it was of no use to anyone.

    As for modern "tongues" is pretty much useless, especially if no one is there to benefit. Think about it, what good would someone speaking Chinese in the middle of a Southern white congregation?

    Whereas the apostle Paul showed that the gift of tongues was to cease from the Christian congregation, he pointed to love as the permanent distinguishing characteristic of true Christians. Jesus did also, when he said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”—John 13:35; 1 Cor. 13:8, 13.

    Love is the primary fruitage of God’s holy spirit; the others are “joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control.” It is these qualities, along with faithful obedience to God’s command to preach “this good news of the kingdom,” that identify one as having the holy spirit today, and not the gift of tongues.—Gal. 5:22, 23; Matt. 24:14.

    What, then, is it that on occasions knocks worshipers from their chairs and causes them to shout in different tongues? Since the Scriptures clearly show that it is not God’s spirit; if it is not the result of emotionalism or mental unbalance, then it is an instance of the operation of Satan and his demons. The apostle Paul warned that ‘Satan would transform himself into an angel of light’ and that he would deceive many with “lying signs and portents and with every unrighteous deception.”—2 Cor. 11:14; 2 Thess. 2:9, 10.

    Those who seek these miraculous gifts that God no longer bestows upon his people lend themselves to such deception by Satan, and often the effects are embarrassing. Aside from the convulsive seizures and emotional shouting, D. A. Hayes in his book The Gift of Tongues described an incident similar to those reported by others. “At Los Angeles not long ago,” he wrote, “a woman had the gift of tongues, and a reputable Chinaman who heard her said that she was speaking his dialect of Chinese. When he was asked to interpret what she said, he refused to do it, saying that the language was the vilest of the vile.”

    Such obscenity is characteristic of the work of the demons. No, the so-called ‘speaking in tongues’ of today is not an evidence of true worship. But, rather, Jesus said that his disciples would be known by the love among themselves.

  4. There are different languages that people pray in tongue.

    The Holy Spirit can have someone pray in Hebrew for example, which the person may have no knowledge of that particular language.

    It's pretty amazing.

    Also people can pray in a language unknown to mankind, which only God understands.

  5. Actually God language is mathematics, it a universal language, and God is the master of languages, "The Holy Qurans says God raise every prophet in evey nation in their on languages and guide the people in the right path. Their is no such thing speaking in tongues, not spooky way, in christian (views) and most people dont know if they ask them about it. If u careful read the Bible in Acts it barewitness. The speaking in tongues is universal revering to a people around the world "the (truth) God message or the Body of Christ. The Holy spirit is not spooky" Holy spirit give u Knowleedge,Wisdom, Understanding and raise us to (life) spiritually we all have the spirit of God.' even the prophets had Holy ghost or spirit in them, but it was not spooky , we have manifest that spirit of by growing or develop our faculties(spirit)" the become one with God.

  6. You get to name it...
