Did you read 134 and 147?
I am glad I am not the only "heretic" out there.

I asked for the gift of tongues. I did not get it. I did try to mimic it. That was what I was taught to do.
Then I read about how it was to be used. The I read that it was a gift for a "time." Not necessarily carrying into all ages.

I have not seen 1, in my 25 years around Pentacostals, proper use of the "gift."
You would honestly be the first if it is true. All others are into "name it claim it", "loud prayers with no interpretation", prophesies that lie, unanswered or staged healings, etc.

I have witnessed one healing. To the best of my knowledge, it was real. But healing is not a seasonal gift.

What biblical basis for tongues continuation do you have?

This just fascinates me, never before had I heard someone admit these things. Your honesty is humbling and I'm glad you had those experiences.

My guess is that you know them as well as I. I'll get to them but let me relate something of my experience that I have found to be somewhat rare. I received my first experience in 1976 alone in my apartment and it changed my life totally. I consider this when I received the gift of the Holy Ghost, precisely what I was begging God for, and spoke in tongues for the first and only time. This was one of several experiences over the coming years that have been a source of great joy. Since then I have learned much and have seen how this gift, if allowed, will work. Like I always say, there is a lot of unlearning we all must do and Satan is against us at every step. Fasting is one of Satan's worst enemies.
