Glossolalia (Speaking in tongues)

Rev Dr Richard Roberts provides a good explanation to a matter which I was puzzled and uncomfortable with, that is speaking in tongues. To me, a person speaking in tongue is more lunatic cos there no ones to translates what he is saying.  No-ones will not know if there is message in it at all. 

As I watched the City Harvest internet feed of its worship last Sunday, he educated me on that it is the Spirit in the person that is speaking when a person speaks in tongues.  To make the mind understand the Spirit words, he encourage the speaker to speak in his own languages after speaking in tongues so that his mind understands what God is saying.  Let the first words that came flows out, he encouraged.  As he explains it, it make perfect sense to have the speaker explains what he spokes in tongues.  Let the person mind understand what the Spirit is saying.

ps:  Luckily I did not travel all the way to Expo because my nose ran faster in the afternoon. :>>
