Teaching To Speak In Tongues

[Sam]

I heard a preacher over the radio who described how people were "taught" to speak with tongues. They were told to repeat the following until their tongue got tangled up and different words came out.

See my tie.
See my bowtie.
See me tie my tie.
See me tie my bowtie.

I remember as a child to be told to say that faster and faster.

I did, and guess what? I spoke in tongues! It worked!!

He later reported that she'd received the Holy Ghost. I was floored.

Yeah...our former pastor's wife in OR used to do that too...she probably still does...

There is also a SS teacher in this church that does that. I saw her not long ago praying with a child, in his face going 'lalalalalalalalalalalala' and later reported that the boy received the Holy Ghost because she heard him do the same thing. The boy is 8 and has no clue what happened.

I have a good friend that is very, very good at praying people through to the HG. He is UPC. When he prays with them he almost teaches them because he speaks in tongues and then says, 'it kinda sounds like that.' Now he might do that to ease there concerns, but I have seen him pray through alot of people and these people actually receive the HG cause they are in the spirit for a long while. The brain can learn the sounds and mimic them anyone that denies that is lying. So I am sure that at times people mimic what they hear, but for the most part I think that it is genuine.
