That would also raise up a question about the gift of interpreting tongues whether the gift is actually interpreting
rhonda-konda-shonda-honda-see-me-tie-my-bowtie-hyundai'
or interpreting a dialect/language (let's say for example "Swahilli") specifically traced to a certain geographical part of the world that they have never taken lessons to fluently speak/ translate that language nor never visited that part of the world.

I am really wondering now..... |
How lovely to see someone asking almost the same questions as me...this is really a confirmation. Let me start of by saying...there are MANY false teachers out in this world today as the bible has already told us there would be..
2 Peter 2:1
But there were
false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be
false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Also some "christians" who are not fully gounded is what they believe will give way and question this and that based on what we see other people doing or hear what some "preachers" are teaching nowadays.
1 Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Be not decieved with these 'christians" speaking there man made tongue...when you speak in tongues as the spirit gives you utterance it all has a meaning and you are saying something. Tongues are for two reasons..One is you(the holy Ghost in you) talking to God as the spirit is giving you utterance... the Second is speaking in tongues with a interpreture or God give you the interpritation of what you just said. I do believe God is still giving the gift of tongues.
but as usual the devil has taken it and made it is own... obviousy messing people up when they hear such babbling making speaking in tongues something dirty and unbiblical but those who truly are in touch with the lord are speaking in an unknown language, speaking the mysteries of God.
Stay grounded in the bible and pray and ask God to give you wisdom to tell the difference. Please just dont look to people for wisdom about God only God can give you that.
I also am guilty of not being grounded..but if we stay in the word and seek out God with our whole heart and soul he will hear us and will answer!
Be blessed!
