Bible Question: could somone please give a more detail answer to this question along with scripture reference if they can. (why should believers pray and speak in tongues. |
Bible Answer: Dear Ahmari, I apologize for the terseness of my answer. However, you've presented a question that is similar to the old "Do you still beat your wife?" variety. One would first need to connect the two activities, which you could only do by carefully defining them. As you might imagine, such efforts are highly biased by denomination... (especially by the non-denominational!). Your question, therefore, serves only to raise debate, rather than shed light. (Please review the Lockman's terms of use for forum participation.) The search function will bring up more answers than you imagine. Including those from people who, like you, are already predisposed to connect the two activities. However, you will not find a Scriptural argument arising from a sound exegesis for a "private prayer language." The only argument for that arises out of a complete misunderstanding of 1 Corinthians 14. In Him, Doc |
