Watch people who argue premises which can neither be proven or denied. Many today preport to be speaking in an "unknown language". When you ask..."What is this language you are speaking", they will claim, "it is an angelic, heavenly language." When you question, "How do you know it is an angelic language?", they will reply, "I prayed and God enabled me to speak in it...I know this is the Holy Spirit!"
How can we ever examine whether such a thing is of God or not. This is an unprovable premise. But, I would argue that based on the scriptures, we can deny such a premise. Mainly because it does not characterize the spiritual intent of the Holy Spirit of God - namely to illuminate us to Jesus (John 15:26).
I have been attacked by fellow brothers and sisters for doubting whether or not this is "speaking in toungues" as it is demonstrated in the scriptures.. What do you think? If I don't see Christ, his person, thinking, compassion, love, and identity being clearly communicated, I do not assume it resonates from the Spirit whose focus is to draw men closer to Him (Christ)..
