So essentially, he uses "affliction"/conflict to mold us into his Son. That is a good reminder. How we deal with troublesome situations
is the molding process. Do we call out to him? Do we train for it daily (via his word)? and once that moment arrives, do we apply what he spoke to us? Whether mundane or catastrophic, that's when our true character shows up and any blemishes in our character (highlighted by the affliction) can be healed by him once you recognize it and pray to him about it.
The only part that I disagree with, because it's unbiblical/disobedient, is when they started "speaking in tongues" in that manner; if no one is going to translate, it shouldn't be done within hearing distance of anyone else. I put "speaking in tongues" in quotes, because I'm not convinced they're displaying/utilizing the genuine gift.
Quote:
1 Corinthians 14:27-28 (NIV)
27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.
