1 | Acts 2:2 | 1 Cor 14:6 | kalos | 172382 | ||
As for a private prayer language, I don't see this taught anywhere in the 66 books of the Bible. I've heard about a prayer language all my life, but I suspect that the idea comes from interpreting people's experiences rather than a clear verse of Scripture. We never prove the validity of the Bible by experience; we test and examine experience in light of the Bible. And since there is no mention of the word "tongues" in Acts 4, John 14, Romans 8, the book of Jude or James 3:8, I do not see how anyone could find the doctrine of a prayer language in any of these passages. I have no need that anyone explain to me what a prayer language is. As I said, I'm familiar with the concept, having heard of it my whole life. What I am not familiar with is any Scripture to back it up. Grace to you, Kalos |

Hi Kalos, I'm just curious, how you interpret this verse: 1 Cor 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What would this be if not a "prayer language"? I do not wish to debate, just to understand your view. Love in Christ, Mark |

Mark: I do not equate praying in a tongue with "a private prayer language." When I hear the term "private prayer language" I think of each person having his own special, unique language ("tongue") in which to pray. It is not praying in a tongue that I do not find in Scripture. What I do not find is a special, unique language that differs from one person to the next. I may be misunderstanding the term "private prayer language." But since the term is neither used nor defined in Scripture, I have no way of knowing if I am misdefining it. I do believe that "praying in a tongue" was and still is a biblically valid practice. Grace to you, Kalos |
