Does Sarah Palin Speak in Tongues? Religion

Does Sarah Palin Speak in Tongues? I saw this question posed as a Yahoo! question and on a couple of other websites. It is reported that Sarah Palin goes to an Assembly of God church, but I have not read a report of whether she speaks in tongues or exercises any other of the I Corinthians 12 gifts of the Spirit.

In the United States, politicians from all religious backgrounds are allowed to run for public office.

the pentecostal churches misue this "least" of the gifts. why must they speak in a strange, unknown tounge and have an interpreter if everyone in the congregation speaks the same language? it is a false tongue today and paul rebuked false tongues.

The answer to your question is in the Bible. Why speak in tongues in church? The answer is if there is an interpretation, so the church can receive edifying. Paul wrote that if a man speaks in tongues 'no man understandeth him.' He spent many verses explaining that tongues should be intepretted if spoken in church so that the church receive edifying. He doesnt say that tongues are not beneficial if everyone speaks the same language, as you imply. The Bible says nothing about 'false tongues'.

i believe speaking in languages is not the same as tongues. we know when we hear someone in their native language. tongues is jibberish. you & i know that but you will let your mythical history book tell you otherwise. think for yourself.

I have a degree in Linguistics, I'm well travelled, and have studied 8 or 9 languages or so. I've heard speaking in tongues overseas, and could not tell if it was someone naturally speaking in another language or speaking in tongues.

I ran a tape of speaking in tongues by a former Arabic professor of mine. He thought it might be Turkish or Kurdish. There was a book written in 71 about documented cases of speaking in tongues in known languages.

I dont think that is such an issue. My only problem is the only "reform" this witch hunter is going to do is make abortion illegal and promote funding and support for The christian church. I KNOW those are the only issues she gives a shit about.  I knew her adjenda the second I saw who she was.

There Is a Heavenly Language but No One can Speak It unless The Holy Ghost cause You to or else It just babel. The way I tell People to Pray In Tongue Is ask for It then don't try to do It. Also before Christ, God might give Authority to the Un-Godly but Now God Jesus only Chooses Christians to be An Authority If they reject Christ We are Not to bid them Godspeed, In Timothy Its the will of God all come to the Knowledge of The Truth.

Let's not confuse her illteracy with tongues

Speaking in tongues? Sure. There is such thing. Sure. In the distorted mind of the deluded there is. Of course there is such thing. Because there are billions of distorted deluded people on this planet. So there. Of course there is speaking in tongues. Goodness Gracious...

1Co 14:8:11 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

I read a book that gave 70 or so documented cases of people overhearing tongues and understanding them and similar accounts. That happened in Acts 2. However, in I Corinthians 14, when Paul talks about tongues being used in church, he writes 'no man understandeth them.' The idea that tongues are languages that must be understood by the audience doesn't enter into to Paul's writing. Paul argues that tongues are to be interpretted.

Well I hope that Sarah Palin doesn´t speak the penticostal gibberish tongues.........speaking in tongues according to scripture is nothing else then a foreign language which was a gift from the holy spirit, a sign for the unbelievers and not for the believers!
