Maybe, but you're heavily moving the goalpost with this argument. Before it was supposed to be all-HS, now it's HS directing your synapses.

Are you seriously going to argue about how something works when you don't even believe it happens in the first place?

???  Is this the first time you've read one of rumborak's posts in P/R?

Are you so disinterested in what aspects of your faith are well-founded and which are just misguided tradition?

No, I'm just okay with admitting that I don't know how it works, but open to what I would consider a plausible explanation.  You're saying it doesn't make sense because it doesn't fit into your conception of how it should work.

I don't understand this.  Do people think and act differently here because the topics tend to be more contreversial and incendiary?  I thought the subforums were just a general way of separating the topics discussed.

This seems relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZbQBajYnEc

Based on brain scans, it's not any actual language.

That wouldn't disprove anything though.  It would just show that there's a bunch of abnormal brain activity going on, which would kinda make sense if the Holy Spirit has taken over and taken control of things.

That seems kinda convenient.

For those of you interested, you can now learn to speak in tongues faster them Rosetta Stone can teach you Spanish.
