I will answer your last question first. NO, in fact He forbade a private prayer language.
Matthew 6:7-15 (NIV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP] And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
[SUP]8 [/SUP] Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
[SUP]9 [/SUP] "This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
[SUP]10 [/SUP] your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
[SUP]11 [/SUP] Give us today our daily bread.
[SUP]12 [/SUP] Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
[SUP]13 [/SUP] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'
[SUP]14 [/SUP] For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
[SUP]15 [/SUP] But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
What JESUS is commanding us to do, is NOT TO MEMORIZE this prayer and repeat it over and over and over. He is commanding us to use that prayer as a MODEL for ALL OF OUR PRAYERS, and that CERTAINLY means to pray in our own language that is totally understandable to us.
NOW, see the words that I turned to red in your post. What does CANNOT BE UTTERED mean where you grew up? If they are uttering it, it is NOT the Holy Spirit uttering it through them. Being led by the spirit in our prayers, DOES NOT MEAN WE ABANDON OUR OWN UNDERSTANDABLE LANGUAGE.
My MAJOR concern is that VERY, VERY FEW Charismatics cannot tell the difference:
1. between the pagan Hindu counterfeit tongues and the real Apostolic TONGUES,
2. and between Ecstatic Psychological Utterances and the real Apostolic TONGUES,
3. and between the Satanic Counterfeit of tongues and the real Apostolic TONGUES.
Here is how I tell the difference biblically:
2 Corinthians 12:12 (ASV)
[SUP]12 [/SUP] Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, by signs and wonders and mighty works.
1 Corinthians 14:22 (ESV)
[SUP]22 [/SUP] Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers.
Any believer who had actually seen the resurrected Christ could call himself an apostle, and thus the Church at Corinth had some apostles, not to be confused with the 12 Apostles.
How do you plan on telling the differences between the Counterfeits and the GENUINE TONGUES?
Before you answer that, PLEASE watch the film in my Post #1013 above. That film is produced by Andrew Strom, a 25 year veteran of the Charismatic Movement; who believes in speaking in tongues. He is exposing a false Holy Spirit that is coming out of the Hindu Kundalini Cult, and is invading many Charismatic and Pentecostal Churches; and most of their membership actually think the experience is coming from our Holy Spirit.
Matthew 24:24 (ESV)
[SUP]24 [/SUP] For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-9 (ASV)
[SUP]8 [/SUP] And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;
[SUP]9 [/SUP] even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
I REPEAT: How do you plan on telling the differences between the Counterfeits and the GENUINE TONGUES?
The Holy Spirit is able to know
The Holy Spirit is able to know
Classic example of circular reasoning.*************We can know a counterfeit by the Gift of Discerning of Spirits...
Classic example of circular reasoning.
Everything must be examined and evaluated by the scriptures. The unchangeable word of God is the standard given by God for us to know Spiritual from carnal.

He did give us a language, it is called ENGLISH.
Matthew 6:7-15 (NIV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]"This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
[SUP]10 [/SUP]your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Give us today our daily bread.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'
[SUP]14 [/SUP]For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
THE MODEL FOR ALL PRAYER.

****Experiencing the Holy Spirit is the same as experiencing Jesus Christ----how do you know your born again---the witness of the Spirit----there is also a witness of things of the Spirit----judged by the Word of God---judged by the fruit it produces---judged by common sense----judged by other men of God----experiencing the Holy Spirit does not have to be crazy or weird...So what yardstick do you use to tell that it really is the Holy Spirit and not some other spirit. Demons are known to generate ecstatic feelings, so PLEASE do not tell me you can tell by the feelings. When I was young and stupid, it used to feel good to boogie in the Disco while chasing women, but at least I knew those feelings were not of GOD.
Of course the Word is the bottom line judge of Spiritual Activities-----when you operate in the Gift of Discerning of Spirits you have Supernatural Knowledge--- I've seen people operate in these types of Gifts---discern an illness (caused by Satan)---rebuke it----person is healed---goes to the doctor---brings back verified medical evidence...

Rejecting manifestations of spiritual gifts without testing them is also disobedience to scripture. I Thessalonians 5 teaches Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Hold fast to that which is good.
Kundalini is about yoga and new age teachings. Evolving by meditation where the mind is relaxed until a sleep stage is acquired.
Something Christians do not do. We meditate on the scriptures but not by chanting. And tongues is not chanting.
All fear of the darkness being more powerful than Holy Spirit. It isn't. Jesus blood is our Victory over all the power of the enemy.
I tested them with Scripture, LONG before I rejected them. They did not match up with the signs the Holy Spirit worked through the APOSTLES.
They DO match the signs manifested in Hinduism's Kundalini Awakening.
Am I letting you out of my ignore box. Only Thinking about it, for now.
