There are 3 types of tongues to humans;
- Angelic/heavenly tongues
- Tongues of men
- Demonic tongues
The 3 Types of Tongues (Speaking in Tongues)
1. Angelic tongues
Angelic tongues are also referred to as heavenly tongues – they are tongues of the Angels or of heaven.
1 Cor 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love …
This is the tongue Angels speak in heaven – remember we will be like the Angels in heaven (Mk 12:25, Mt 22:30) thus speaking in Angelic tongues is a shadow/taste of heaven on earth.
Angelic tongues are used to speak only to God and that is the tongue Paul the Apostle of Jesus was speaking of saying,
For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit (1 Cor 14:2)
Even yourself you do not know what you are saying in Angelic tongues
1 Cor 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding unfruitful
Because Angelic tongues are for you to speak only to God, the Holy Spirit will only enable you to speak in an Angelic tongue when in secret, in prayer, for our God is in secret and we do not pray as the heathens (Mt 6)
You cannot be in public, speaking to men and you speak in angelic tongues – that is a lie!
Even when Angels are send to humans to speak to them, they do not speak in Angelic tongues but in a tongue you understand, the tongues of men.
A human being has no control of Angelic tongue but they are only under subjection of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who takes over your tongue at His Will, appropriate time and place for you to speak only to God.
Since the tongue is in control of the Holy Spirit, there is no repetitions (Mt 6), you speak fluently flawlessly, and as you go on praying in Angelic tongues as Spirit enables you, you are completely encompassed and filled with joy happiness peace calmness and all fruits of the Holy Spirit to a level the world cannot comprehend.
As you speak in tongues of the Angels, every worry, problem, the world and all in it vanishes, and it is only you and heaven
Baptism with the Holy Spirit is a prerequisite to speak in Angelic tongues. See how to know you’re baptized with the Holy Spirit
Every person who is baptized with the Holy Spirit can pray to God in secret in Angelic tongues – this is not a gift for few, for it is a taste of heaven on earth thus every person of heaven on earth can speak in Angelic tongues.
2. Tongues of men
1 Cor 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love …
Tongues of men are the languages of men – e.g. English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, etc.
Humans were created with one tongue but when they started building the tower of babel, God confused their language and tongues of men were born.
Gen 11:7 Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech
The tongues of men are from God – God is the creator
It’s for this reason God can open a human being tongue to speak in a tongue of men s/he has never spoken nor learned, in the same manner He did to men building the tower of Babel.
The Holy Spirit has power to enable a human being speak all/any tongues of men without him/her learning them
When the Holy Spirit came down to the disciples in the Pentecost, they did not speak in Angelic tongues but were speaking in tongues of men reason every person heard a disciple speaking his/her own language as written
Acts 2: 6, 11 Now when they heard this sound, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language – we hear them declaring the mighty works of God in our own tongues!
The disciples were speaking in the tongues of the Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome, Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs (1 Acts 2: 8-11) – these are all tongues of men not of Angels.
Why were they speaking in tongues of men not of angels?
Because they were speaking publicly to men not privately in secret to God – they were declaring to men the mighty works of God in their own native languages (Acts 2:6, 11)
The Holy Spirit cannot enable a man speak tongues of Angels to fellow men – He is not confused. In the same manner Angels cannot come to man and speak in their tongues.
When speaking to humans, you must speak in a tongue the human understands or else have an interpreter – it’s a must not a request or else be quiet!
1 Cor 27:28 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two, or at most three, should speak in turn, and someone must interpret. But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.
Reason you see preachers with interpreters – the interpreters interprets from one tongue of men to another; no human being can interpret Angelic tongues and no preacher of God preaches in Angelic tongues.
You have seen preachers who in public utter words you cannot understand and they call them ‘speaking in tongues’ – be very careful
When Paul said, ‘I speak in other tongues more than all of you’ (1 Cor 14:18), Paul was saying that he speaks more tongues of men (not of Angels) that most. And yes, Paul spoke in many tongues of men.
3. Demonic tongues
Demonic tongues are the opposite of both Angelic tongues and tongues of men
Satan was an Angel, speaking in tongues of the Angels, and when he was cast from heaven, he counterfeited and made a tongue for his kingdom, kingdom of darkness.
These are the tongues used to communicate in the kingdom of darkness reason they are called demonic tongues.
There are 2 types of people in the kingdom of darkness;
- The ignorant – they are the lukewarms, hypocrites, etc, (they can quote bible verses, say name Jesus, pray, etc but with the same tongue they blaspheme Him – one leg in Jesus and another in the darkness)
- Those who know they are in darkness serving it – they include Satanists, devil worshippers, magicians, witchdoctors, sign readers, fortune tellers, top world music stars, etc
The second group of people all speak in demonic tongues – it’s a tongue of communication between them and the kingdom of darkness.
Satan uses the first group of people without their knowledge – they can speak in demonic tongues without knowing if it’s demonic or Angelic or tongues of men.
Demonic tongues are used to communicate to the kingdom of darkness e.g reason witchdoctors have to chant in tongues
You know tongues of men and can name many, but what are the differences between demonic tongues and tongues of the Angels;
Differences between Angelic tongues and demonic tongues
1. Repetitions
God hates repetitions for He is not deaf (Mt 6) and when speaking in Angelic tongues you cannot speak in repetitions
Demonic tongues are full of repetitions and chantings
2. Spoken publicly
Angelic tongues are for you to speak secretly only to God
Demonic tongues are publicly used for fame, pride, prestige, envy, show-off, boasting, etc
3. Not fluent and with flaws
In the same manner you speak tongues of men fluently and flawlessly, so do you speak angelic tongues under the Holy Spirit, but this is not so with demonic tongues.
Demonic tongues are not fluent, full of repetitions, same words, same sentences and full of flaws
4. Spoken by people with no fruits of the Holy Spirit at all
Angelic tongues are spoken by those in Jesus, Baptized with the Holy Spirit, thus fruits of the Holy Spirit are manifested in them
Demonic tongues are spoken by those without the fruits of the Holy Spirit, the wicked, blasphemous, hypocrites, those who deny the Power and fight it, godliness with no power, etc.
When indeed you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you, you can identify a demonic tongue from miles away
What is spoken in majority of churches today in the name of speaking in tongues is demonic tongues
Unless a person is delivered, many speaking in demonic tongues cannot know its demonic – a prisoner knows no freedom
Jesus is coming
Repent Repent Repent
Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand
