No, I'm praying for them to receive the Holy Spirit and will know when it happens when they speak with other tongues just like the believers did in the book of Acts.

There always has to be proof with you guys if someone was to come up to you and say god filled me with his holyspirit you would not believe them because you would have to heard them speak in tongues. You guys kill me with the whole tongues thing

Okaaay, then how do you know if someone has received the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38)?

And how can that person get the holyghost without a tongue to speak tongues in? I think I just found a flaw in someones doctrine imagine that..LOL

The last time I prayed that way I just removed myself from the crowd and stopped praying.

How do you know that God isn't teaching you to be wiser when you pray for a soul? We don't know at what point this "vessel" has emptied itself out to receive His Spirit. Repentance is way more involved than just saying, "I'm sorry." Some people don't realize that, at first. We need to give them room and be wise.

I ask the Lord to tell me how He wants me to pray and what He wants me to say when I pray with and for someone. How do I know what to say, unless God tells me? I don't know their heart.

This is just how it works for me.

How is repentance way more involved then just telling god you are sorry?
