Evidence for God from Science

hello!i go to a christian school and they held a "special" chapel one time and SUPPOSABLY got me to speak in tongues ....well they said just babble like a baby and talk a buncha jibberish and you are speaking in tongues.......i dont think that is speaking in tongues is it?or at least not the true way..anyway i would appreciate your input on this...oh by the way the school is also a pentecostal church.

Perosnally, I don't like the idea that God would need us to sepak in gibberish. Why would He?

The Greek word used in the NT for "tongues" is glossa. It means "language." I don't think anybody would consider baby-babbling a language, and rightly so. Bottom line, I don't believe that the "tongues" you hear people speaking in today are at all related to the tongues the earliest Christian's spoke in. Now, you show me someone who can speak Spanish, French, English, German, etc., without having gone through the process of learning it, I'll say you've found a real instance of tongues.

A polyglot!!

i dont think the disciples said "hey! lets talk a buncha jibberish"....i knew something was wierd about it...plus i noticed that the person teaching sorta took the verses that supposably supported it out of context....go figure
