After the 1st time, what are Tongues for?
I have heard folks say they have spoke in tongues once and only once and they appear to be fine, they "have the Holy Ghost" and thats that.
But, I am curious, it seems I can't hear a song with the name of Jesus being said or a sermon that talks about the goodness of God and there I go.
I have struggled at times in the past and have just burned in my soul to hear from God, and tongues start. I have gotten angry in my prayer (Yelling actually) and said "NO!!! I want to hear words I can understand!"
So what do tongues mean? Do they mean you are forgiven? Do they mean you have re-established communion with the Lord? What are tongues for after the initial time?
