well, I prefer to give Ruy the benefit of doubt that he did not compare Pentecostal/Charismatic worship to the worship of Hanuman
Reasonable option.
I glossed over that because it was so offensive to me.

I was just showing that so called “tongues” are prevalent in many heathern religions and can not be used as a sign of true spirituality.
The ancient Atis worshipers got in the spirit and cut off important body parts in their rites, and the voodooists really get into the “spirit” and allow spirits to posess them.
Put a cross there and replace the drums with guitars or pianos and can anyone really tell the difference between Penticostals and voodooists? (especially when they bring out the rattlesnakes!)
Like I said earlier, I would rather keep control of myself than open the door to “ten demons worse than the first” into my body.
Oh by the way, Matthew Henry’s Commentary (and the Geneva Bible commentary) says the tongues in Chorinthians were “foreign languages”.
