Let me start out by saying I am in no way a religious person. I attended
a Catholic grammer and high school(Grad.'68). But after high school, about
the only time I attended church was for a funeral or wedding. My kids have
been attending a Pentecostal church for about 7 yrs. Within the last year
or so my wife started to attend the same church. And just recently I
have been attending on and off. In a recent Sunday service I was kinda
just sitting back and observing a prayer segment of the service were
everyone starts praying outloud when all of the sudden the Asst. Pastor
started to speak in a way I have never heard or saw before!! Now I'm
no expert on foreign languages, but I do know the difference between
Spanish,French,Italian,Polish and a few others if I heard them but what
I heard was neither. He spoke with such intensity and authority that I
thought, hey, something's happening here!!! The person is a rather meek
type person from talking with him so I thought this somewhat strange.
He went on for about 30 sec. and stopped, after which I was kinda in
awe of what I just seen and heard. (It gave me goose bumps).
Did I witness Speaking in Tongues??? If so, what does it really mean?
Comments,opinions anyone??? Send flames to /dev/null please..
