Different languages in tongues

[Colonel]

At the Bible school in the church that I attend, the worship leader spoke in tongues and delivered a personal message to two Brazilian students, according to them in perfect Portuguese. The worship leader doesn't speak Portuguese at all.

I've never experienced that myself, but I laid hands on a man and prayed for him in church once, where I found myself speaking in an African sounding language for about one minute, it sounded very complex and consonant rich and I was speaking it as fast as I'm capable of speaking my native language, which is kind of fast. The 250 pound man was shaking so much afterwards that he had to hold on to the chair in front of him to stand on his feet.

Often when I speak in tongues, the result is a simplistic, vowel dominant langauge that seems to repeat itself somewhat. Not so today, I was speaking in what sounded like a more European language that was again complex and somewhat consonant rich, and at a normal pace. I was observing this and I concluded that my cognitive mind had little to nothing to do with it. Not that I would have been able to "create" what I was listening to, if I had put my mind to it. Not on the fly. Nothing seemed to repeat itself, during several sentences.

Has anyone else experienced any of this?

Strangely I have a story regarding a Brazilian student as well...Went to Brazil in 2001 to minister with a team.

One time was heading to a meeting on a large bus full of students and was speaking to a particular student who knew english and he was going through a discouraging time.
I ended up praying for him on the bus and began SIT - I knew something was happening because he began to rejoice and get excited.
I asked what happened and he said when I SIT he understood every word as it was a message from God. He said I didn't speak Portuguese but he knew supernaturally what I was saying and had instant translation.

I've had a few times when my tongues seemed to be a 'known' language, but always in private.

Just was told by one of our missionaries in the Philippines just a couple of weeks ago that he was in one of the villages teaching at a wedding dinner, where the groom had been delivered from witchcraft but his dad still wasn't. He knows the Philippine language but not the dialect of that village, although they understand Filipino too. He said all of a sudden his Filipino changed to tongues and everybody started looking at him strange. When it was over they told him he had taught on witchcraft in their local dialect. Many came up to be delivered after that.

The pastor who married my parents told once when he was in Israel at the Wall that he began speaking in tongues, and it was in perfect Hebrew, telling a Jewish guy he never met something along the lines that Jesus was the Messiah.

Another person who posted at the old forum had a similar story that happened to her dad. I forget her handle, but her brother posted there as well and lived in Israel working as a tour guide. Her dad was at the Wall praying in tongues, and some Jews saw him praying, got very angry and began approaching. As they got closer and heard him, they realized he was just praying the Scriptures and told him he was welcome to pray with them any time.

What is the "old forum" that you are referring to? This one has been up since the early 2000s. Cardinal TT and myself were late arrivals, in around 2005-2006.

Aha. Technically the same forum but there was a name change and twice a new owner. Some of the original posters came over from an other forum called Charisma something.
