If one lives life totally, meditatively, lovingly, one comes to experience something which is inexpressible - Jesus calls it Logos (Lao Tzu calls it Tao, Buddha calls it Dhamma) : different labels but all indicating towards the nameless experience. If you prefer you can call it God. Me , I (preference) to call it "godliness", not "God", because God gives you the idea of a person and godliness simply gives you the idea of a presence.

Bottom line of all religion is fellowship with other people, no matter what race, creed or nationality.

So what's so great about making incoherrent sounds, for that's what speaking in tongue actually is.

Get real lah, its how you treat your fellow humans that matters, not making sounds that no one can understand. Don't be a fool.

Burble duk bakl bak awam mut tok m mbe tok tok, ka ka la mumbe.

See I can write in tongues too. Do you think God would be pleased with me.

tongues are meant for self edification. 2 seperate issues.

When one is authentically whatsoever one is - choicelessly (whatsoever) one is. In that primal innocence of Being, God presents and is present in one - God is just a name of the totality of existence.

If one cannot find Khrisna, Christ, Mohd, Buddha .....within oneself (in one's heart, soul or whatever one feels comfortable with) - one (will) never finds Khrisna, Christ, Mohd, Buddha in a temple, church, mosque and ....

Sadly, today's prayer is no longer one of gratitude but of supplication

i m not demeaning rituals - indulge but understand that if the rituals cannot facilitate/enhance relating to others (like Mancha above put it) it is useless lar!

Wearing a badge of Christianity or Islam or Buddhism is just a label - is one being like Christ or Mohd or Buddha in one's daily living?

I attended a three day church camp and was faced with a difficult question in my mind.

Christian - Speaking in Tongues!

My Church encourage her members to speak in tongues and many of my close pals have that gift. I am the only one not knowing how to speak and sometimes I'm pressured to fake speaking a few sentence... I prayed hard in receiving the gift from God but I just can't get it!

I'm so upset! Does not having the gift means I'm lesser of a Christian? I feel like an alien among my christian brothers and sisters.

God can't be bothered with you.

There is no God.

You are believing a fake God

BUT you should just

Stop being a delusional and only accept something when there are proofs and evidence of indisputable standards and quality to back up what you believe to be true.

Talk is cheap, why don't you DO what you have suggested?

The gift of tongues is the least of the charismatic gifts. If you do not have it, accept it in faith.

TS, are u sure they are speaking in tongue and not praying in tongue?

Speaking in tongue and praying in tongue are 2 different things.

Speaking in tongue is god speaking to the people. This needs interpretation.

Praying in tongue is holy spirit intercessing prayers for christians to god. Pray in tongue no need interpretation.

A lot of people use these 2 terms interchangeably.

I think TS is referring to the second one, cos 2nd one is what takes place most of the time, with regard to tongues.

Pray in tongue is more common.

Even during the days I attended service, not every service there was message from God through tongue.

Not many can accept it.

ONe needs to be totally immersed in the holy spirit in order to be knowing what is going on.

Just wanna share, as pointed out speaking and praying in tongues are very different not everyone recieves this gift from God and i for one can not speak in tongues.

to add another theory to this discussion, i heard that if one is a heavy thinker such as myself, that is if, its natural for yourself to need justification for speaking in an unknown language which you don understand, then this maybe one of the "barrier" which prevents you from letting the Holy Spirit "take over"??

or it could just simply mean u've not totally surrender yourself to God/Holy Spirit.

so don short change urself into thinking that ur not worthy, cos i believe God definitely did not short change you.

So these tongues....are they spoken in Latin or Aramaic?

correct me if i'm wrong but simply put Tongues are languages that are used to spread God's word, which basicly means it can be Any language???

i've heard of languages from spanish to hokkien..

My simple message:

Amen to that.
