The Spirit was poured out on all flesh that were listening at Pentecost so tongues of fire appeared and everyone was able to understand what was spoken in their own language. I've experienced part of that when preaching the Gospel (after prayer) on a campus where I felt every word I said was connected to the hearts of the people I was speaking to so what I was saying was exactly what each individually needed to hear.
Yet today some denominations teach tongue speaking, including plain baby-talk gibberish, as something of God, even as evidence of being saved. What a doctrine of demons! How do you tell it's not truth? Check the Bible - in 1 Cor 14 which is the chapter tongue speakers twist to justify their nonsense uses a word in Greek that means dialects or real spoken languages, not gibberish. Therefore the word itself exposes these people as speaking falsehoods, doctrines of demons, not of Jesus.
Also, sadly I've experienced some of that too, when I was imagining some false love and my mind started getting off of being in its right state into a crazy state. Then the tongue speaking started coming up in me. So I know by that experience, it's not God at all, it's not only a doctrine of demons, it is actually demonic intending to get people out of their right mind into insanity or hell on earth.
It may be possible, since all things are possible with God that someone could speak in a language they don't know, and someone who does know it can confirm what was said. However, consider the Gospel. Why would a God who was able to perform such helpful miracles as Jesus performed ask us to spend time on something so relatively worthless as gibberish? So we see more evidence those who follow least of all Paul aren't following God.
