1 | Define "praying in the Holy Spirit" | Acts 2:6 | Makarios | 27982 | ||
Greetings ashestobeauty, Here is some commentary on these verses (1 Cor. 14:14-15)... "Since praying or singing (in church or in private) in uninterpreted tongues does not engage the mind, it is better to pray or sing in a language everyone understands so that the gift may be used fruitfully." [Ryrie Study Bible] "14:14-17 Paul continued to speak sarcastically (cf. v. 16; 4:8-10) about counterfeit tongues, so he used the singular "tongue", which refers to the fake gift. He was speaking hypothetically to illustrate the foolishness and pointlessness of speaking in ecstatic gibberish. The speaker could not understand, and what virtue is there in praying to God or praising God without understanding? No one can "Amen" such nonsense." [MacArthur Study Bible] - Nolan |

Thank you Steve! I understand the conclusions that Ryrie and MacArthur come to, and I believe that I can see "where they are coming from". :-) Blessings to you and Merry Christmas! Nolan |
