Tongues discussion moved from MiC

[Lamplighter]

Actually, Paul DID say he didn't understand his prayer in tongues-read the whole quote. (speaking of context)

I WILL PRAY with my mind and I WILL PRAY with my spirit also.

What does praying with your mind and spirit have to do with a foreign language you don't know? You lost me here?

Praying "with your spirit" is praying in tongues-as we can see from the context.

Paul obviously does both.

If I pray in a tongue-my spirit prays What shall I do? I will pray with my mind and I will also pray with my spirit.

Paul even said, "I thank my God I speak in tongues more than all of you." and then added, "I want you all to speak in tongues".

Paul merely taught the Corithian church that praying in tongues was for private prayer and being used in the gift of tongues was for the church. Two seperate things-prayer is speaking to God and the giftd are for "when you come togehter"
Tonges when manifested as a spiritual gift must be accompained by the companion gift of interpretation.

Ok gotcha.

I can see you are a hard core Pentecostal Christian.

We are on polar opposite grounds when it comes to the gift of tongues.

We are still in the body Christ together which is all that matters anyway.

Just a "hard core" Bible believer. Be blessed!
