God does not require statistical evidence in any matter. There can be no vote of man for what is His truth. Whether a brother believes the same as another has no bearing on his faith or his salvation. Yes or no. Some are kept in the dark about certain issues, while others are enlightened. I came from posting this in the tongues thread elsewhere but it also applies here, to you and to me.
Rom 14:1
Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Rom 14:2
For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Rom 14:3
Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Rom 14:4
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

May"? I do not know the intent in this word with in the sentence, and for statistics whose observation?
Within the past almost year on this site I have expressed limitedly of my personal in this matter, I have read many ill beliefs against but not any ill attitudes or beliefs for, because of this observation I would not personally invite a dog or swine attitude belief n anyone that have any degree of faith in the Lord Jesus, in the respect of Agape for all I will not give or cast this to be used to have a predispo. to me or to others, for the sake of Agape that binds us I will not concede to answer.

I haven't been given that gift, but may I put a vote in for my girlfriend? I haven't heard her for she says it is very private with her. She praises God that she was given this ability. She says it expresses feelings and devotion to God that she can't express with words and brings her closer to God.
I can't imagine why this simple question should bring out responses of people thoughts about it. God says it is a gift. He gave it sort of wholesale when he gave the gift of the spirit to all who believed as told in Acts. I love the Lord with all my heart and soul, and God hasn't given this gift to me.
Kenisyes, would you want to tell us what it is like, or is that too private a question?

Nothing private about it. A few days ago I posted these for Blain, after much prayer: http://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/64198-speaking-tongues-6.html#post1032113
I just start praying, and sometimes I switch languages. I do not speak Spanish fluently, but I do enough so that when muzak in the Hispanic grocery store or restaurant is playing, I sometimes wind up thinking in Spanish a little. It feels just like that.

I just reread 1 Cor 14, and I don't see a thing about this being an unsafe gift. It says other gifts are better, and I get it is OK that I don't have it (thank my Lord) but if it is a gift and it comes from God, even if other gifts are better I don't see how this says not to allow God to give it to us.
Well I should read my own posts as I omitted the word 'say' in the phrase. It is safe to say no one is speaking in tongues and meeting the criteria of 1 Cor 14. No intention that the gift was unsafe. Sign gifts, like tongues, were given as a witness to the Jews who were unbelievers. 1 Cor 14:22 Signs in general were for the Jews and wisdom for the Gentiles. 1 Cor 1:22
The warnings of 1 Cor 12-14 were because of confusion and disorder in the church related to the abuse of these gifts.

Need clarification if possible.
I never knew about this speaking in tongues that is in the bible. Two years ago I rec'd the filling of the Holy Spirit with healing. Because I was blown away by all of this I did research to figure out what happened to me....as it was awesome and confusing for me.
I researched the internet and came across a site where a man showed what it meant to have the gift of speaking in tongues. I practically fell over. I didn't understand what he was saying but I don't understand what I am saying either. It sounds like gibberish. I did learn that we are not to do it unless in church or something. I just don't do it.
The question is that as I watched the video I remembered doing/talking like that to myself as an 8 year old. I remember just thinking I was making up a language. Looking back it all seems odd to me. Since I have heard that no one can speak in tongues if there not saved or filled. At 8 years old I didn't know God or Jesus.
I was also told that if someone is not saved or filled or both, they can't even get the gibberish off their tongues. So I tested some family members that aren't saved without telling them what I was doing and they couldn't do what I always thought was gibberish.
I know this post sounds like stupid gibberish and maybe I am just over thinking this, but I was just wondering what if anything anyone thought.

.. You'll be better off if you asked: What happened to the letter every detail , on Pentecost day? What did Christ say about it. And what is the subject, or article being taught in places where, the ''unknown tongue of today'' is drawn from... What does the words unknown, known and tongue mean in the Greek is was taken ? . Hold people to the a standard of the Bibles written account. to document what they say, in following the subject matter of the whole chapter,book , whatever. Ask yourself can you follow?. and are you willing to put in time to read the Bible's take on it?
