1 | Praying in tongues? | 1 Cor 14:1 | gan | 76710 | ||
To pray in tongues is to pray in another language: Native tongue (see the origianal greek meaning for tongue) the apostle Paul only recommends this if one is able to translate or there is one at hand who can translate 1 Corinthians 14:6 for if nobody can understand whats the point of it how can it strengthen the church. Practicaly the only way to recieve the spiritual gift is to learn another language unless one day you awake being able to do it through the power of GOD when it is done properly as in someone may pray in french or african amongst a english speaking congregation it is an inspiring and edifying ecsperience.

Why does it say in 1 Cor 14: 2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit. | ||||||
3 | Praying in tongues? | 1 Cor 14:1 | Jeff12 | 76720 | ||
1 Cor 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. KJV Speaking in tongues is always speaking to God including the interpretation of it if done. This verse here says that speaking in tongues edifies the one doing it. Paul does go on to say that speaking in tongues without the intrepretation of it does not edify the church simply because people do not understand the message because they don't know the language. But speaking in tongues in your own private prayer life will edify (build you up spiritually)you. |
