this should be a fun and laid back discussion. Of course I'm not sure what you believe on this.. I'm assumeing based on what you have said before that you are one of my God siblings from a Church of christ. I could be wrong. I'm not sure what COC beleive on this but i'll tell you what I believe.

First of all its a gift of the Holy Spirit but not everyone with the Holy Spirit has it. Spiritual gifts are different from person to person. We all are different body parts and we all do different things. I think it is also something you have to ask for and expect just like any other gift from God unless it just swoops down on you for a special reason. I believe that the gift is either given to a) pray in a language other than our own b/c human language is weak b) to witness to ppl who don't speak your language (I have actually heard of this at work in our Brazil mission team one year in the evanglilism section) c) to give a special message to the ppl of God with the help of a translator if its needed. Sometimes a tranlator is need b/c only they can understand whereas other times more ppl can understand. If someone stands up in church and speaks in tounges and no one translated one of two things happened. Either the speaker is speaking on his own terms or the one that God gave the tranlation to refused to get up. Speaking in tounges in useless if no one can understand it. Most of the ppl I know how have this ability rarely use it out loud.

i'm tired i'll continue later
by the way who are you? if you don't want to tell me its cool

absolutely.... its in the Bible... remember the Pentacost.... Sometimes its doesn't present itself as human languages but as a more heavenly language that we don't understand without God's guidance.

I mean real languages as in Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, etc. Do you think it's something more than a language like these?

dear ?

Yeah its a language... I don't think there is a country somewhere that speaks it or something but its a language of God. I think maybe it was the language spoken in the Garden b/w man woman and God. Maybe it was the language spoken until the tower of babel? Who knows? Maybe its the language we will speak when we get to heaven... I don't know... Maybe its just a language for the here and now that God gives us if we are supposed to have it. Maybe its never the same every time its spoken, you know unique to each speaker and to each accurance. I know that we could never make a tounges to English dictionary... its not something you can teach yourself.. its something the Holy Spirit has to do through you. There will never be a tounges class in Beason Seminary. So in some ppl's eyes this description means it is not a real language. But, God created language.. maybe all of our languages are just a tiny fraction of the whole structure of the main language of what we call tounges....
I'm just throwing out theories here. All we really have to go on is scripture and on the insight from ppl who have this gift... I don't have the gift so I don't know exactly what it is like. But, I know ppl who do and I know that it is legitamite.

By the way I am a terrible speller so just read these and shake your head and laugh when something is misspelled.

This is hard to explain....
God Bless

And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilaeans? And how hear we, EVERY MAN IN OUR OWN LANGUAGE wherein we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we hear them SPEAKING IN OUR TONGUES the mighty works of God.
(Acts 2:6-11)

From this does it not seem like true languages of the world?

its not like this every time... thats why in one book there are procedures for and interpreter.... It depends on how God wants to use it. In my own experience I have heard ppl speak in tounges and it just sounding like a language. Another time I heard of it was when one of our Brazil mission team members who didn't know porutguese was talking to a brasilian and they understood every word. God had just taken over the situation.
Its different everytime

this is why i think it is the original language and all human languages are just fractions of this one language.... its God's language. Its perfect (it has no bounds, it speaks to all, it is controled by GOd). it is not like our languages b/c it is perfect. but it is a language
