Over the past few months, I have been wondering about what "speaking in tongue" really is (after seeing a lot of discussions about it here in Bible forum but didn't have much time to go through all the comments). Is it like someone saying (at the end of mass prayers in the church/family worship, etc, etc) the Holy spirit says, "blah, blah, blah...." and utters some sort of prophetic word that they supposed they have been shown in the vision or stuffs like that? Would really appreciate if someone could please elucidate it for me. Thank you in advance.
(Sorry for deviating from the OP but was curious to know what "speaking in tongue" really is. I did not feel the need to start a separate thread for it just for that so asking it here)

I speak American English, well, ok, Southern English or Bamaeese....... so, if suddenly I began to speak in Portuguese or Russian or such.............that would be speaking in tongues.......
What we must remember is that this "gift" is given for a "purpose." To accomplish the will of God........
Read Acts.........and 1st Corinthians to get some idea of speaking in tongues..........
