1 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | glory777 | 10467 | ||
1Cor. 14 - Tongues is more important to an individual by himself. It is edifying himself and also pure prayer to the Father. Tongues with interpretation or prophesy are the best in a group situation for then everyone understands. Just what it says. Debbie |

Debbie, You are right. -Foreign tongue by one person (for the unbeliever who understands it). -Interpet by another(for the locals to know what is said). -Foreign tongue by one person (for the unbeliever who understands it). -Interpet by another(for the locals to know what is said). 1Co 14:14 - Praying in a tongue (a foreign one in the context) produces an unfruitful mind.

1 Cor. 14:14 (NKJ) For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my undertanding is unfruitful. Paul goes on to state 15- What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit and I will also pray with the understanding. This again is in the contecxt of using prophesy and tongues in a church setting. If there was no benefit to speaking in tongues, as you seem to imply (produces and unfruitful mind) why would Paul thank God he speaks with tongues more than the readers? I think the only time that tongues was mentioned as being understood by everyone was the first time. Paul didn't state anyone had to know what was being said before hand, but to pray that someone would interpret. If you have to go around asking if anyone understands what you are saying so they can interpret it, it is not a spiritual gift, but a human gift. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying. Forgive me if I am. |

While Paul thanks God he speaks with tongues more than the readers, so that he can talk directly with the natives. I do not think everyone spoke Greek in the places he visited. The would like everyone to (1Co 14:5a), he rather have them prophesy, because he who does is greater (v 5b), second only to the interpeter (v 5c). I am not sure where we are to "pray that someone would interpret." I have a friend who attends a church that follows the pattern I mentioned in my previous post. A visitor came and spoke in a tongue. The one who interpeted said something. Then the visitor said that was not what he said, he was quoting John 3:16. My friend, a Greek prof, got up, supporting the visitor. The interpeter does have to know what is being said, otherwise what he says could be false. It can be a spiritual or studied gift. Steve |
