I've seen many people in my church take the microphone and either during a preaching, ministry or worship start speaking in tongues. No one understands what they're saying but in my church the people there just assume the holy spirit is moving in them and keep worshiping. Me I'm sort of turned off because I don't know whether it's fake or not and some seem to fit in that it looks just for show.
Is it mandatory for it to be translated like the bible says or no? I remember I went to a special service about healing and the preacher (she doesn't have the gift of healing but just prayed for God to heal them) started speaking in tongues at the end and for some just prayed for them in tongues and that was it. Unless there was some a strong spiritual connection, would the person have felt anything? Thank goodness when she got to me, she spoke to me in English so I could understand her.
