And there IS an angelic language, not 'IF'. But tell us what language is it - if it is not THAT language.

Is there any record in Scripture of angels speaking and men not understanding them?

Where, aside from the one comment of Paul, is there even any allusion to the concept that an angel might speak a language other than that which man speaks.

1 Corinthians 14:12 So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.

1 Corinthians 14:18-19 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

1 Corinthians 14:39 So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

And yet, here we have in America, people in churches in droves seeking tongues. Why seek the least of the gifts, contrary to clear teaching of Scripture?

Baloney people aren't looking for a sign. It's preached from pulpits all over the US that tongues is the evidence of the filling of the Holy Spirit and people ARE looking for it. Calling it *evidence* is calling a rose by any other name.

So, does your church forbid women to speak in it, as the end of 1 Corinthians 14 says? You know, the passage tucked in the part on tongues?

1 Corinthians 14:40 But all things should be done decently and in order.

A far cry from what goes on in most Pentecostal churches that I've been in. It's usually chaos.

You've yet to tell us what language 'these groups' speak and what the chaos is about. Most Christians are happy, you could be interpretation their happiness for chaos, I don't know. Why be critical, just don't attend them - they aren't for you.

WHAT? What kind of churches do you go to in America? It's almost a non event in any church I've been in.

You can dispute God's Word all you want but I'll take HIM at His Word, He knows BEST and it's true for me and those I know. Your experiences don't define what is Truth.

No. Because we know how to discern God's Word.

I haven't attending a church that wasn't in order.
