Subject: speaking in tongues out of context |
Bible Note: In the congregational setting; yes, there should be an interpretation if it is used as the speaking out not the worshiping in the Spirit. But the one speaking may also be the one who interprets. Does she pray in English before or after she speaks in tongues? I agree with Pranz about the worship. Many times it can be distracting because we still have an aversion to the odd, the weird, the foolish. We are not used to allowing God do what He wants to do in our services. We want an orderly, precise, non threatening atmosphere to worship in. We often don't realy want God to show up because if He does weird things might happen. If there is no interpretation perhaps you could ask God for it. |
