If this all sounds strange to you, welcome to God's world.

Be careful about becoming overconfident with the devil. For example, don't be so arrogant as to believe that you are introducing me to God.

Maybe you're telling me about your understanding of Him, fine. Maybe you're Mephistopheles on the internet trying to divert me away from God with your "speaking in tongues."

Proverbs 15 has plenty of advice for us.

And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying. —Acts 19:6
