Subject: Is private speaking in tongues Biblical? |
Bible Note: Hi Seacher, I agree, the context of 1Cor 14 is guidelines for use of tongues in a public worship, not private worship. Verse 28 speaks of proper use of un-interpreted tongues; silent in public worship only, and between himself and God, which would be private. Regardless, the only place in scripture tongues were EVER interpreted was Acts 2, NEVER anywhere else. The ONLY place tongues MUST be interpreted is in public worship. The reason for that is obvious; it’s for the protection of the uninformed and unbelievers (1Cor14:23). They would see the manifestation of the Holy Spirit as a joke and the Holy Spirit would be mocked (Acts 2:13). Merry Christmas bro, retxar |
