LOL... I've been asked a bunch of things about my "handle" but that is a first.... I've had people ask if I flew Super Hornet jets, etc...
Actually, I use the same handle on a bunch of gun/shooting forums... it's because of my affection for the .22 Hornet cartridge... a wonderful, small, efficient cartridge that is a joy to load for and shoot...
The "jargon" issue was because I had not heard several of the terms being used, regarding tongues and prophecy... much the same way I get when discussions about "are you an Arminian, or Argentinean, or whatever it is they are discussing... I generally just discuss beliefs with people, without trying to pigeonhole them into some named group, so those terms can sort of throw me... you know, old dog, new tricks....

Whoa, ''Pending'' Ha! Not too bad at all. Especially considering how continued search for confirmation could turn into doom for some ''A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” (Matthew 16:4)

A Pentecostal Preacher’s Experience
‘’In 1937 there was more reproach connected with speaking in tongues than there is today, although in some quarters even today religious prejudices still exist. People become proud of their name, and my family felt I had disgraced our name.
When I was filled with the Holy Spirit I didn’t say one word to my family; I didn’t even invite them to go to Church with me. I felt in my spirit that if I would just live right and not try to push anything off on them, the reality of the baptism in the Holy Spirit would become obvious to them and they would follow me in this New Testament experience.
And in the course of time, every one of my family members did receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, including both of me brothers and my sister, and even my nephews and nieces.
Later the folks beyond my immediate family followed me in that experience, too, because they could see the difference in my life. My aunt, my mother’s youngest sister, held out the longest. She felt that I had really disgraced her. She was a great church worker, but there is a difference between being a church worker and being a Christian.
In 1950 my aunt came to vivsit us. I wasn’t there, but my mother and wife were. My aunt said to my mother, ‘’You know, there’s just a difference in this home. I get blessed spiritually every time I’m here, and I feel comfortable and blessed. There’s a peace and tranquility in this home. I felt Kenneth had disgraced us, but, you know, I believe he made the right move. I’m going to begin attending his church.’’ And she did. She also said, ‘’Not only that, but I’ve watched him over the years. His children are never sick, , very seldom a cold but nothing more serious than that.’’
You see, the thing that influenced my aunt and made her begin attending a Full Gospel church (which she vowed she would never do) was the profiting she saw in my life.’’ – Kenneth E. Hagin

I do speak in tongues. I recieved the gift when I was baptized by the holy ghost. It was given to me, "let him have tongues for evidence of the holy spirit." was the prayer.
It flows through me at will. I never know what the holy spirit is saying. Sometimes he sings.
Sometimes the holy spirit gives me a calling to speak.
In my teachings I know that the holy spirit will pray for other people. Pray for me. Pray for family. I have heard people getting gifts from speaking in tongues.
