I believe that people can speak in tongues and that it is a gift of the spirit that anyone can participate in.

I think speaking in tongues is emotional communication to God. It is our spirit praying. When we give up control of our thoughts and words, we can let our spirit say the things that we truely want to say.

Most communication is more non-verbal than verbal, and I think that people that talk in tongues, generally tend to be better communicators.

Tongues doesn't have to be a mystical thing, it could be done in the privacy of your room. You just focus on a feeling that you want to convey to God, and you just start making happy loving sounds, whatever, just let go and let God take control. Most of us are afraid of letting go in this way.

Anyway, I like what Paul said, when he said that if would like people to speak in tongues, but he would rather they prophesie.
