I need help in clarification

[Sand Dancer]

I can still speak in tongues and in many different ways. I can sing in tongues too.

That sounds amazing!

T

But sitting in bed with an uncontrollable tongue, and a feeling of wind going through you, imo is the work of demons playing games with you.

Oh man. I have heard "tongues" in many churches. I still don't quite understand I guess.

 

[Sand Dancer]

No. If so, why would you need someone to interpret it? If I remember right, Paul said something about the gift of the spirit to interpret. I would have to look it up.

Yes, that is true. Although, I wonder if the first time is just so you know you have the holy spirit...

Oh man. I have heard "tongues" in many churches. I still don't quite understand I guess.

And it's not "uncontrollable" anyway.

 

[Benoni]

Wow, quite the unique place for it to happen. Hours? Mine was like 3 seconds. lol Thanks for your service!

I was in the same berthing compartment with sixty other sailors who were all sleeping. I kept testing the spirit and it just got more amazing. It has been a real foundation for my spiritual walk.

It is a deep spiritual experience beyond understanding. Its as if you touched God it is that awesome.

 

[Benoni]

In scripture, it was always an intelligible language.

In the accounts where people were uncontrollable, these were demons possessed people. Jesus was curing 'the demon possessed' and casting out spirits.

Why would he cast out the holy spirit from anyone? He wouldnt.

Sounds like someone who has never really learn to trust the Spirit of God with in you. There is something far beyond a bunch of religious dogma.

There is nothing uncontrollable it was the most amazing worship experience in my whole life. I tested the spirits over and over again as God's spirit revealed himself to me for hours. I could turn it on or off but why would I wanted to stop this amazing flow of the spirit. I finally knew I had to work in the morning and I phased out of it praising God the whole time.

in all the biblical accounts, the holy spirit was for the purpose of preaching to people.

Isaiah 61:1 The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me, for the reason that Jehovah has anointed me to tell good news to the meek ones. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to those taken captive


Acts 1:8*but YOU will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon YOU, and YOU will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Ju·de′a and Sa·mar′i·a and to the most distant part of the earth.”


If your experience didnt include preaching and declaring to others, then i dont know what it was.

 

[Benoni]

Far too many religious people preach about Jesus but they have never had any experience to know him. Oh sure they know about him, go to services, study the bible, talk about him but they are like the children of Israel who saw God’s glory at the bottom of the mountain. Not like Moses vision was so great his face glowed. Most know only God’s acts; I want to know His ways

Psalm 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

Let take the word Christ which simply means anointed; so anti Christ or anti anointing means the same thing. Today men follow religion, dogmas, creeds, popes, preachers; etc. and could care less about what God is saying. Anti-anointing/ anti-Christ means the same thing….. Deep truth is never on the surface; it is hidden deep with in God’s Word.

Moses was anointed by God which is pretty obvious; God did not put Moses on this earth so we can have a nice Bible story; which I love to read to my granddaughter. He put him here so we can understand who this awesome God really is.
Moses knew God face to face; not like the children of Israel who knew only God’s acts. The blind lead the blind in religion today; they know only the acts…

The thing you speak of is not the way to receive holy spirit.Bible teachesd that the one asking he WILL receive the holy spirit- Luke 11:13

I have been a Christian most of my life. Lately, I've been wanting more, so I have been researching different religions. Having gone back and forth, I am currently interested in panentheism. Here's the thing: When I was a Christian, I had an experience that I attribute to "receiving the holy spirit." I was asleep, then all of a sudden woke up, sat upright in the bed. I then felt the feeling of a "hot wind" going into my belly, and up through the top of my head. I then, for about 5 seconds or so, started saying things in a "language" that I had no control over. I am 99% certain that I wasn't asleep. So I am wondering what that could have been. If it was the "holy spirit," then can I still be have panentheistic views as well? So confused...

Was that a one time experience? And Do you suffer insomnia lately ?

Sounds like Evangelicals, why would you change religion.

 

[Sand Dancer]

I am a liberal Christian, and I like it that way. I can reconcile panentheistic views with Christianity. I went through a period of searching and now I am good. Thanks!

You were probably experiencing a hallucination during sleep paralysis. They tend to get spiritual, because most visions and auditory hallucinations are assumed to be of the "supernatural".

They still can be shamanic though, because of the strong connections between journeying and dream shamanism. So just because those things didn't happen to your body, it doesn't mean they didn't affect your your spirit.

Peace be on you.
=Why it happens to mostly only certain branch?
=Does it give any increase in knowledge or good works?
=Did Jesus (on whom be peace) speak in tongues?
=Could it be peer-effect?

Speaking in tongues - RationalWiki

=========================================

"Glossolalia is perhaps best understood as a vocal behaviour that can be acquired by almost anyone who possesses the necessary motivation and who is exposed regularly to social environments that encourage such utterances. In our culture, the social groups that encourage glossolalia are almost invariably religious. Therefore, the motivations for engaging in it can usually be best understood in terms of the shared meaning ascribed to this behaviour by the religious groups that practice it."

You should explore other 'spiritual' diversities; mostly including the background of your ancestors. What you experienced can be stress induced as any other experience, regardless of whether or which you witnessed the Holy Ghost. Look to your ancestors and their beliefs and work your way forward with the time you have.
