Many modern tongues speakers realize the gift is not biblical yet they continue for various reasons. Some of the most common reasons the carnal tongue speakers will use is that it makes them feel good, special, spiritual, and in touch with god. Paul faced the same problem in chapter 14:28 Paul realizing the destructive power of this satanic self induced behavior that he exhorts the foolish Corinthians to stop speaking in tongues unless there is an interpreter. Paul explained to them if a unlearned lost soul came to a church meeting in this foolishness was going on that the unlearned lost soul would think the church was filled with lunatics The counterfeit gift of tongues would vanish today if the carnal signs and wonder churches would follow the biblical teaching on tongues |
