Speaking in tongues only makes sense if others can understand that tongue... it does seem some pastors memorize a few Hebrew phrases and run with it

felt at peace and could literally feel a comforting supernatural presence

In order to a religious experience you first must believe. The Black Church takes a lot from West and Central African traditions of worship, mainly possession and the use of music. The way that West African and Central African religions commune with the divine is through possession. The leader of the ceremony facilitates this by creating an environment for this to happen. Whether is dancing, shouting, making random noises, self-harming or whatever.
What the pastor in a Black Church is doing is ultimately is doing is reinforcing the beliefs of the worshipper. So all that dancing and wailing and falling out by the worshipper is performative and the pastor and worshipper is both in on this but it is also a legit religious experience. If you think the Divine is just gonna manifest itself to you and give you a religious experience, but you don't believe and think it is all fake then that's kind of redundant, because you have to actively do things.

In an universal application it can be seen as energy rising up the Kundalini usually drummed up via music, mantra (prayer), and intent. This is why ancient cultures always prayed, played music and made lots of noise when they were doing their devotional rituals and if you look at traditional African religion videos they typically do the same things you’ll see in church, this phenomena isn’t exclusive to Christianity from what I seen but if the Christian version is a purer holier energy I can’t really say never happened to me always thought it was weird growing up in church and some people in church do fake it to fit in like that one African pastor that was moving whole rows of people just by pushing his hand forward

I spoke in tongues one time when I was like 11. It was actually in Creflo Dolla's church in College Park, GA.
When you go there for the first time, they took you to an after service room where you sign up and pray and shyt. I was there praying with them and they was like just let go, let God take over you. And I let go and started speaking in a language I never spoke beforeand it was a legit language, like I wasn't saying random shyt to myself, something else took over my voicebox and was speaking through me
but it's real brehs
Buddy said Creflo Dollar lol probably caught a demon wouldn't be surprised.
I spoke in tongues for like 5 seconds b. Why would I lie, I can't speak on what that says, only what happened when I was a youngsta and felt the spirit in me.
you think a demon took over me and not God?

I only seen higher church figures speak in tongues (pastors, ministers, ect)
is this something you learn on your studies when pursuing your license for that?

So what about the people that was traveling with him when he all of a sudden "feel asleep" (while walking), that also heard the voice of Jesus, and had to lead Paul with his "encrusted eyes" to town?

Whenever someone would catch the holy ghost in our church it would catch on and they'd all get up and perform ...usually during devotion and all that meant to me was..."pastor gonna keep his sermon short today"...used to hope somebody catch it and cause as soon as they play the holy ghost theme song it was on
On speaking tongues:
I grew up in a church where we don't even do that but lately I been going to church with a friend where they do it A LOT. I never believed in it, so trying is hard cuz I don't know how to do it "right" and sometimes I just wanna laugh. Like this one time a few weeks ago the pastor in particular kept saying "Rondayy!
" but it just sounded like he was a sports announcer and Rajon Rondo was killing it. "Rondo!! With the three. Rondo!! once again"
The people there can sound really fluent with it though. I finally figured the best way was to act like I'm speaking Spanish but it stilk doesn't sound like them. They're doing something else. I'm sure if you put them under a CAT scan they'd show an increase in brain waves.
