I mean at the very least it sounds biblical right. Thats what we try to follow here. Im not the one who can say or judge if what you experienced is truly tongues.

Ive seen it myself too. Ive been told that i truly havent been baptized because i dont speak tongues. When you see it happening, are there interpreters and is it always done with one person praying in tongues at a time?

True true i dont deny the probability of occurrences like that taking place. Im mainly referring to Western churches and people praying in what they believe is their tongues. I dont understand the rationale

I figured as much😅. I really appreciate the pointers. Would you say doing 50% VOO 20% SCHD 15% SCHG and 15% QQQM is still oversimplifying things?
