I've started reading the Epistles of Paul with my coffee today and it's a funny thing but I'm just finished Romans & the Corinthians where I noticed in particular verse 13.
Romans 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
“Could this be referring to Pentecostalists?
” I wondered. Paul was explaining about heretics in general and my next question,
“Is the Pentecostalism heresy?
” was answered only a few pages later especially in view of a concern expressed by Mrs Fisher.

I Corinthians 14:5, the purpose of all communications from God is to edify the Church. Mr Fisher's antics on his computer are not having that effect, are they.
However, recalling from my unregenerate heathen days, the expression
nnung-bibby-bibby tong resembles another utterance occasionally heard and I'm wondering whether this Fisher had a speech-to-text app running at the time? I doubt that "V6 engines" were involved in that case. I'm reluctant to label anyone a heretic so an opinion from Pastor Bathfire would be appreciated. Context from The Epistles is appended below.
Romans 3:3-18
I Corinthians 12:1-31
