Personally I don’t believe it happens anymore. I don’t mean any offense to those that practice it or still believe it.
I believe it COULD happen if necessary, and it was God’s will. But I have seen on TV and been to a church before where people blabble a bunch of ridiculous mumbo jumbo, and I think it is just a lot of excitement and they get caught up in the moment.
In the NT when then talk in tongues, I believe it was so people of other languages could interpret it mostly. We have to remember that at this time, Jesus had ascended to Heaven. The apostles and new church were small in numbers, and yet it was their duty to reach out to all nations and all tongues.
I think at these times, God supernaturally did allow them to talk in various languages, etc. This was very important so that they may reach out to other nations and other languages. But now we have translators (people that can translate languages, as well as digital software and programs that can do this). So I don’t see a need for God to send us a supernatural “Tongue” talking ability.
This (like most things on this site), is just my opinion in the way I interpret things.
