77th Martin I have no quarel over the validity of tongue speaking. I am a believer in Christ and all his teachings just like you(judging by your response). What am saying is that the languages we people of this earth speak all come from God and we are all His regardless of our shortcomings at least before the day of judgment comence(non repenters will head to hell). If anybody is going to be engulfed by the powers of the Holy spirit, s/he will only be speaking in at least one of the languages known to humans on the face of this earth.TM says that one can speak in tongues in private while praying. It is true. The holy spirit can lead you to speak in Japanese in such instances.

I have my shortcomings(read The log in my eye) I know, but then we christians are here to support one another and reprove of anything sinister creeping amongst us. The word of God is a double aged sword and it cuts both ways. SO when am rebuking somebody else I must also accept the sting of its criticism on my life. Only then will I make a better christian if not perfect. By the way Martin it is worth lossing your sleep when you see a brother engaging in unbecoming(unbiblical practice) behaviour. It is called an act of selflessness which Christ happen to have taight over and over through His messege of Love.

Glory be to God for we have come together and are reasoning. Whenever on or two ar gathered He is there with them.
