Bible Answer: Hi Joann: At last count you only got 3 responces to your question, and they were mostly, advice, not answers. Here are a few more scriptures, I thought you might like to take a look at, you can make up your own mind on wether or not, these are the ones you might be looking for, about speaking in tongues, I don't think you were talking about speaking in tongues, out loud in the Church were you? Your question sounded like you were talking about another type of tongues, what might be called your prayer language. So the answer to your specific question would be. As with a child you have to learn the language, you weren't fluent in the English language when you first started talking, the same thing here. Use the words you now have, the Holy Spirit will add to your vocabulary,as you grow. As you can, see Paul was telling the Church to not speak in their prayer language, in the church, because it causes confusion, and there might be people that were unlearned present, and they would call them mad. The type of tongues spoken in the Church, should only be done when there is someone there that can interpret, because these types of tongues, are the tongues of the (world, regular languages.) Like on the day of Pentecost when the disciples talked to the masses of people, they were from all over the known world, every one was amazed that they were hearing their own language being spoken. And they Praised God. 1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 1 Corinthians 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 1 Corinthians 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. HAVE A GOD BLESSED DAY |
