Your thoughts on the topic not withstanding, again what does the scripture
teach? Repeating yourself does not prove your point it only shows you have
at least the ability to talk like a parrot. Divers tongues are a gift of the Spirit,
there are more than a few scripture that speaks to this. A danger you could
run into here is calling something God is doing a work of Satan, so if you are
very willing to do that keep going down the path you are currently on.
I'm not willing to justify the abuse people take with this, I've seen more of
those types of things than I imagine most have here, but again the false does
not at all mean there isn't a real version of it. Seeing the damage faking causes
by leading people away from God should give everyone pause who is faking it.
I think some people push the gifts of the Spirit over the giver of those gifts
which is also very stupid in my opinion, for which is more important the gifts
or the giver of them? Our relationship with God is the greatest of all the gifts
he has ever given to us. God Himself is our greatest of all rewards, not some
spiritual gift, even those of great healings in this life are only passing as all
will die anyway, but having God there is nothing to compare to that.
