Speaking in tongues

 speaking in tongues today is almost always a fake, an imitation of the genuine gift of tongues from the Book of Acts. Speaking in tongues causes the brain to enter a trance-like state of passivity which opens the door to demons. Demons can make us feel good if we let them. The Bible tells us to "test the spirits," which rarely happens today. The Bible says that we can "give place to the devil" in our lives. Most of these "tongue speakers" have spirits of false tongues and false Jesus dwelling within them because they have mated the spirits without testing the spirit first. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is self-control ... not lack of control.

St. Paul's Letter to the Corinthians

To justify the use of the languages, refer above all to St. Paul's Letter to the Corinthians (CHS 12-14). But the Apostle Paul wrote this passage precisely because "tongues" had become a source of disorder in the Corinthian Church? And even when it does not prohibit them, which permanently minimizes their significance. This quote, instead of encouraging any modern revival of "languages", should instead discourage, especially when it is discovered (as Pentecosts themselves admit) that other sources are speaking in languages ​​​​other than the Holy Spirit! As Orthodox Christians we already know that tongues as a true gift of the Holy Spirit cannot appear among those outside the Church of Christ
