Re: Tongues	Dean	Tuesday, December 4, 2007
Question: I believe that tongues is the most counterfeited gift. However, regarding the post about the man who got the gift during adoration... I doubt the devil could counterfeit that (Have you ever heard of such a case?) If it is true, the opposite is also true - it's like a Satan worshipper praying in tongues and actually praising God?... it just doesn't make sense otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Dean: Yes, I know of cases where a person received a false "Tongue" while in the presence of the Holy Eucharist. Actually it happens frequently. The devil is not automatically barred from the Adoration Chapel or the Sanctuary. He can and does attack people while in Adoration, in Mass, or devotion. He can attack priests and extraordinary ministers while they carry the Eucharist on their person making their rounds to the sick and shut-ins. As God allows it, the devil is not barred from attacking anyone, anytime, and anywhere. The opposite about tongues is NOT true, by the way. A diabolically received tongues cannot genuinely praise God. A person who received genuine tongues will lose that gift if he abandons the faith and becomes a Satanist. If a Satanist began to truly praise God in tongues this could only be in the context of a conversion. God bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary Footer Notes: This forum is for general questions on the faith.
