INDIGO CHILDREN - STAR LANGUAGE Recently on Safron's show, 'Speaking in Tongues', we saw one of the Indigo Children speak in her 'star' language and the audience was invited to email if they thought they could interpret it. The sound was uncannily similar to your stock standard Revival glossalalia. The rise of the Indigo Children was prophesied at the start of the century by the 'sleeping' prophet. According to the members of this new age belief, increasing in numbers around the world, people everywhere are developing new spiritual languages that has not been taught to them and are even able to understand each other. The response to safron's challenge saw a lot of emails that interpreted the STAR language successfully.
ALIEN ABDUCTEES - AURA LANGUAGE Last week on the show a guest was interviewed who had been an alien abductee. During her abductions, she was taught a healing process that involved making noises of particular frequencies in order to manipulate a person's aura thereby restoring balance and healing the body. Guess what the weird language she spoke in sounded like. Hmmm, perhaps when people are praying in tongues for healing they are actually accessing their own bodies normal aura frequencies.
DOES ALL OF THIS SOUND CRAZY TO YOU? It should! The point is, it that any wacko can do the tongue thing. (no offence to indigo children or alien abductees - you have as much right to your beliefs and experiences as any religion... I just think you're all a little kooky... azyoodo). Many would say that Satan mimics God's miracles (even though there is no biblical example of Satanic tongues), that being the case if believed, then anyone who can speak in tongues needs to undergo further investigation by Revivalists to see if they are actually God tongues or Satan tongues... perhaps you should look for other things in a person (showing love for one another etc... hmmm?). Seems the tongues sign can't really be totally trusted since even E.T. can do it.

New Testament Roots
The phenomenon of "speaking in tongues" is mentioned several times in the Bible, but Baptists and other Christians disagree on whether such speech is spirit-filled in modern times.
The Bible in Acts 2, for example, describes the followers of Jesus Christ gathering on Pentecost after Christ ascended to heaven, when:
"...suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
Most Southern Baptists believe that speaking in tongues
The New Testament now serves to bring Christians that full revelation instead, he said.
Southern Baptist pastors including Ron Phillips, pastor of Baptist-affiliated Abba House in Chattanooga, Tenn., disagree.
At 41, Phillips says he first experienced speaking in tongues in his sleep at a time in his life when he was discouraged and ready to quit the ministry.
"My wife woke me up and said, 'what in the world were you saying?'" he says. "I didn't know it, but I'd fallen asleep and the spirit started praying."
The spirit-filled language comes out in his private prayers to God, says Phillips, 58.
The Bible, Phillips says, "never says anywhere that the gifts of spirit, tongues or prophesy stops."
"I believe that God's alive and there's a spiritual world we can't see," he says. "It's kind of like a TV set that you've got to tune in to the right channel."
Robert Parham, executive director of the Baptist Center for Ethics, says Southern Baptists who don't believe in the practice view those who do with some discomfort.
"Those who do not believe in speaking in tongues view those who practice speaking in tongues as babbling incoherently and expressing too much emotion."
