    A lot needs to be said about those who discredit the gift of tongues. I stopped speaking in tongues because of Allen Parr and this particular video he made. Many times afterwards I'd feel the steer to speak in tongues but wouldn't and slowly the gift of utterance began to diminish till I couldn't any longer. I felt a bit dissatisfied but paid no attention to it. It almost felt like being without air. I came across a message by Pastor Iren on Spotify in what I might call a timely fashion. It got my attention so I prayed asking God that if He wanted me speaking in tongues, He should guide me. Not long after I kept seeing pointers towards speaking in tongues and even saw another message on the gift by another pastor make it's way to my RUclips feed. I took it as God wanting me to speak in tongues. I prayed for utterance and I slowly began to speak more fluently day by day. I felt so robbed by listening to Allen and I still feel so. When I remember giving in to that video, I get angry cos I feel like I missed out on a lot over that period. I do understand Allen and others have their hearts in the right place but I don't think they realise how much damage they are inflicting on the body of Christ. To think there are millions out there getting robbed off this gift isnt something I think they would want on their account had they known better. The scripture clearly admonishes us as Christians not to despise the gifts of the Spirit.

      Now let all things be done for the edification of the body of Christ. Firstly, do not study the Holy Scripture in letters but ask for utterance from the Holy Spirit. It is clearly pointed to us in 1corinthians 14:26 that whenever we come together, let each of us not all of us but each of us should have a psalm, teaching, revelation and tongue. Not everyone is a teacher (James3:1), not everyone is an apostle or not everyone has the gift of healing or speaking in tongue (1corinthians 12:29-30). Study 1corinthians 14 properly and see that it is not proper for the congregation to all speak in tongues. Your examples are just so off the track. In Acts2, the tongues that the apostles spoke was as a result of them being filled with the Holy Spirit which they waited for and guess what? The tongues they spoke where understood by all tribes who were present. We also saw in Acts 19 that after apostle Paul laid his hands on the people, they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and also spoke in tongues but after receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit just like apostle paul, you should be able to use your gift for the edification of the body of Christ (church) and not just for your personal edification like what people are now doing in the house of God. This is the order, speaking in tongues is not forbidden but it should be done in a decent way in order to impact an unbeliever. Do you understand ?
      Don't act to know it all but rather pray to God to reveal His mind and mystery to you and don't go deceiving the hearts of many with your enticing and persuasive words.

      ​@@matthewokafor2186then what was paul talking about when he said he spoke in tonvues more than anyone. What did he mean when he said he'd pray in his understanding and outside of his understanding. When Those people were filled...did the tongues just disappear. Is half of the body of Christ "just faking it"? You go study properly and dont be so quick to dismiss something. Why doesnt God just give it to the peraons who will teach. Every chruch service isnt a preacher standing up at the front talking, some services people are praying for one another or praying for themselves, spiritually battling...etc. these are the times people would be speaking and praying all at once.

      Sorry sir but You are wrong in saying but you use 1 Corinthians to interpret tongues. The principle is that you interpret a phenomenon by its first occurrence. Tongues first occurred in Acts 2 so that should be the bases of it's interpretation. If you only apply this principle sir, all the 1 Corinthian and Ephesians texts you used in your talk will make sense.

    Pastor Iren I want to thank you so deeply 🙏🏾 for breaking this down. As a first gen Nigerian in the diaspora, I can see so many of our own being blown away by these doctrines of theological intellectualism and most of them site Ruslan and Allen Parr because they seem balanced on other topics. Thank you for the warning… it is very dangerous to believe you’re right with no room to correct error. That’s pride and it’s giving birth to theological elitism. Most ppl in this camp don’t have the goal to save souls but the goal to be right. As a Christian I didn’t speak in tongues for the first 19 years of my walk. Since I began this year my walk is DRASTICALLY different. I’m empowered. The desire to engage spiritual disciplines has increased. This may be anecdoctal but experience is what established the historical existence of Jesus. So again, thank you for this breakdown. I pray that we can find unity in Christ.

      Hi,I'm curious. Did you identify any reason you didn't operate in this gift during the initial 19 years.
      I do believe its real however I am not operating in this so far. Heard several teachings on this free gift requiring coveting and it throws me off that a free gift requires coveting to go as well.
      Worried me for awhile till the Spirit of God answered me personally from Eph 1:13. I've heard so many say implicitly that it's the best thing ever or that everyone yet to operate in it is not quite there yet, so I wonder. Are they not better things to aspire to like Love and being like Christ?
      This very topic of gifts and tongues and how we tear away at one another to me does a lot of damage to both new believers and unbelievers.

He's not undermining that tongues exist, but he's saying that he had to repent of speaking fake tongues. It's a confession of repentance in the video.

      From the bible examples you need a Apostle to baptized you with the Holy Spirit.

    It gladdens my heart that I found your ministry the time i did in 2021. I had stopped going to church and was falling too far away from the faith. But was helped up greatly when I started following ministries like Andrew Wommack's and also watching Christian creatives before I was introduced to your ministry.
    Amongst the creatives I was listening to was Allen Parr but there was something off about the posture of his communications. You could tell that he loved God but at the same time, see the evident Calvinistic inclination and highheadedness. Of course,I learnt a lot from him but eventually stopped watching him when he started calling out gospel musicians and finding faults in many things they put out. Some where constructive but generally, I found that there really wasn't the need for such call outs because most weren't even theological issues and had absolutely nothing to the with the song lyrics.
    Thank you for this and I do hope he sees this.

      I used to watch Allen Parr too and his earlier videos were really great. However, after a while I found him to be a bit prideful.
      As you mentioned, his comments on Christian music were one example for me. I don’t believe that everything requires open criticism and I don’t believe that someone being led by the Holy Spirit would comment on everything the way Parr does.
      His videos are a bit dangerous in my opinion.

I felt it's a language that's recognizable. But I recently watched a video of a Kazakhstan reporter and he sounded like a generator 😂😂😂 if someone spoke like that on the altar, we would make good money on the comedy skits, also there are several ancient and extinct languages.

      So I stopped thanking the Lord for answering me prayer, opened my mouth and started relaxing my tongue as a way of surrendering it.
      After maybe fifteen seconds I felt the Holy Spirit seize control of my tongue and I started fluently speaking in the spiritual language that we call tongues.

    Thank you so much for this, Pastey. The effort, time, dedication and most importantly, patience that you give to explain the word of God for it to be so easily understood and digested is never taken for granted, Sir.
    I remember when I was just trying to navigate speaking in tongues in school 2019, and I went on RUclips, and I watched a video of Allen Parr' where he said (I am paraphrasing) that speaking in tongues forms some sort of hierarchy and classism in church where people who speak in tongues feel they are better than those who don't, while those who don't may feel like they are not Christian enough, and now that I am thinking back, that gave me and others in the comments leverage to not bother on speaking in tongues because why should anyone think I am not Christian enough because I can't speak "gibberish"?
    But thank God I know better. I knew better back then not to be so consumed by what he said because my Christian friends who made me know CCI go press my neck if I give any excuse 😂😂, plus, Nifemi, a CCI member who is the lead facilitator of Viral Community once said in our fellowships that "even if it's only 1 person that should speak it tongues, it will be me".
    If speaking in tongues separates Christians as first class ones or second class ones, I will be among the first class, and glory to God that God doesn't even see it that way.
    In a bid to accommodate something you can't understand or explain, people have led others to the same error, instead of taking time out to actually learn and seek knowledge.
    May God help us. Our faces have been unveiled by the truth of God's word, may certain "figures" in the faith not use that same word to use blanket to wrap our faces and necks, and I pray also that the eyes of their understanding is opened.
