For the most part Christians. It's spoken of in The Bible early in the book of Acts following the reception of the holy spirit to believers after the final accession of Christ. I Corinthians 12 and 14 also mention "speaking in tongues" as one of the manifestations available by a Christian believers holy spirit. This is considered perfect prayer that bypasses an individuals understanding and is to be done in private unless interpreted in a worship meeting. Despite the many religions and sects who speak in tongues many fail to actually live up to the concluding exhortation concerning the proper operations of this manifestation in the church. I Corinthians 14:40 "Let all things (context emphasizes speaking in tongues) be done decently and in order" -not acting crazy and being emotionally out of bounds.
Many Christians in Pentecostal-type denominations speak in tongues. Though some choose not to.

Answers from the community:

  • Speaking in tongues is a religious experience and has nothing to do with language.
  • No study has ever shown even the slightest evidence that real words are being spoken.
  • it's an inspired language that a holy person may speak when overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit
  • God understands all language of course, even what you want to say and can't find words for. 'Speaking in tongues' though, is not a language.
  • It is said that they are speaking the language of the angels, but several linguists have done very extensive research on those speaking in tongues and they have submitted their findings (that speaking in tongues is gibberish) into peer reviewed publications and it has come out of the academic circle victorious.
  • No, speaking in tongues is not real. Anyone can speak unintelligibly and with apparent charisma, and insist that they understood what they were saying or that the words were not their own but came from another, spiritual source. If some believe that the phenomenon was real, then so be it. Many can speak in more than one real language, even if not very well. They can prove this ability, because other people can understand what is said and can respond appropriately. If they merely babbled and called it "speaking in tongues", no one would really understand them or, if I done well enough, be able to prove if the person is merely faking it. What this achieves is to impress the impressionable.

Speaking in tongues can be faked, but that doesn't mean that speaking in tongues is fake.

"the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."-1 Corinthians 2:14,

Jesus said, And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; Mark 16:17

Brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:39

Undoubtedly. Speaking in tongues impresses gullible onlookers, but unless it can be shown that the person was speaking fluently in an intelligible language that the person could not otherwise have known, then it is fake.

How do you explain Acts 2 4 the infilling of the Holy Ghost and speaking in other tongues?

If a righteous person has a desire to speak to someone who speaks a different language, the Holy Ghost will bless the speaker with the gift to be able to speak the other persons language. This is called The Gift of Tongues. There is another gift called The Interpretation of Tongues. This is when a person speaks in their own language but the hearer hears the words in his own language.


What is the diversity of tongues given by the Holy Ghost?

In the book of Acts and some of the epistles, the writers of the Bible describe a miraculous speaking in foreign languages, or "speaking in tongues." In the book of Acts, those so enabled by the Holy Spirit fluently spoke languages they had never learned or studied, in order to preach about Jesus to people who spoke another language, to praise God, or to prophesy. In his first letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul says "if I speak in the languages of men and of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." Because of this, some Christians believe that the gift of tongues also enables people to speak the languages of angels, whereas other Christians believe that Paul is using hyperbole, and that the gift of tongues only applied to human languages.
