I am a cynic, but it was a joke. Whether it is an actual language or not is pretty much a moot point -- it's not nice to make jokes about someone's belief system. And, I did apologize.

Whether it is an actual language or not is pretty much a moot point -- it's not nice to make jokes about someone's belief system. And, I did apologize. Don't be so hard on yourself durasell. I'm a member of an AOG church. In the AOG the practice/promotion of tongues varies from congregation to congregation. In my congregation I can think of maybe a half dozen times when it has been displayed in a service over the last 8 years that I've been there.
That said, I thought your post was hysterical. And most of the folks at my church would as well.
There's certainly enough evidence that this whole issue has been taken to extremes that are not from God.
As one of my pastor's likes to say. "We're Pentecostals. Just not the scary, crazy kind."

cynic noun 1. a person who believes that only selfishness motivates human actions and who disbelieves in or minimizes selfless acts or disinterested points of view. skeptic noun 1. a person who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be factual. Please be sure you know whether your a cynic or a skeptic. One is a healthy thing and the other is not.
