A Non-Todd Bentley - Todd Bentley Question

I came across this video by accident really.

I was actually watching some videos of "things people do while WHACKED [their word] by the spirit"

It shows the usual Bentley shennaningans, a "praise worship" that resembles that dance scene in one of The Matrix movies, and TB hitting people etc.

BUt what really JUMPED out at me was his "tounges".

"Shika-shika-shika-shika-BAM!!!!"

I was reminded of a Kenneth Hagin video where his tounges were "rootin-tootin-grootin".

My non-Todd Bentley question is this:

Do you HEAR certain "tounges" differently than other tounges???

To Me, Hagins "rootin tootin" and Bentleys "shika-shika" SOUND so fake as to be laughable!!

Am I the only one?

Do ALL tounges SOUND the same to you?

Do you hear false tounges?

I think that the gift of discernment can be of vital importnace here, especially when dealing with evil spirirts and fake manifestations. However, I also think some of it is just pure self, often with no intention to be in self or mimic or anything like that. It almost seems more or less like some things become a learned behavior of sorts.

I do not mean to diminish tongues, nor any personal affect thay have on our spiritual self. But, I have noticed what seemed to be non Spirit enabled utternaces, if you will. I have also experienced what I believe to be demonic enabled utterance of "tongues."

But, on a more light hearted note. I know this guy, a great Christian guy, but when he speaks in tongues it is almost identical repeptition (to the syllable) every time. And it is always centered around essentially two "phrases" (for lack of a more accurate term).

It honestly sounds like he is saying "seek Him on High" and then right after "seeek Him on low". I can't but get tickled. I could almost finish it for him and never miss a beat.

Gerald,

You are not alone. There are indeed fleshly, as well as demonic, manifestations of tongues. Nevertheless, for the sake of discussion, there are also world languages that have weird phrases. I have heard weird languages of the world that sound fleshly, or even demonic, when judged from a cultural box.

I just think we have to be careful when judging tongues by syllables and dialect alone. I think Poimen is correct that we must use spiritual discernment to be sure.

Blessings,
pa

Yes, and to comment on Poimen's post about the man he spoke of, there are some who seem to have a limited "vocabulary" with tongues. I don't pay much attention to others when praying at church- I just focus on the Lord, why worry about it?

[Gerald Creasy]

I just focus on the Lord, why worry about it?

You see...there was this one case...guy spoke in false tounges quite a bit...there was also false "healings", false prophecy and "unhealthy relationships" which went along with it.

THATS why we worry about it.

You worry too much.

I swear I've heard "a key to my Honda" and "I see me tie my bow tie" before.
