Hi and Welcome Woof to the forum.
Quick question: When you began speaking in tongues at such an early age did you know that you were pretending? Were you pretending?
You friend(s): As you said, you may not be able to convince them that they are being foolish. You can't change anyone unless they want to change themselves. (well, actually you can but it's an ugly process)
1) god is great but he allows his creations to suffer/die. That would only mean he is not great or does not care or there is no loving creator. Every time something bad happens to them I'd ask "Is this gods will?".
2) The bible could be made correlate to any time in existence. This time is not special.
3) There may be no help with this one. "I just know" (with no evidence), that's a childs way of thinking.
You may have to cut this family off completely. That might be very hard.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
