It is my firm belief that when the apostles spoken in "tongues" after the baptistm of the Holy Spirit came upon them, the "tongues" they spoke were the existing languages of the day. They were given the knowledge of the languages in order to spread the Word of God.

I've been to churches that believe that "tongues" are a secret language given to people in order to praise God. I've listened to these "tongues" and to me, it sounds like the same sound repeated over and over. I've also seen people "overtaken by the Holy Spirit" and they pass out. To me, as a lay observer, it is nothing more than mass hysteria... or something the individual does so as not to be known as "not having the Holy Spirit."

I personally don't think you were "speaking in tongues" as interpreted by Charismatic Christians.
