1 Corinthians 14:2
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.


Here the Apostle Paul is addressing the use of the gift of tongues in the church. He notes that when someone speaks in tongues, they are not speaking to people but to God. This is because tongues are a form of prayer or worship that is directed towards God, rather than being intended for human communication.

Paul goes on to explain that when someone speaks in tongues, they are speaking mysteries by the Spirit. This means that the words being spoken are not understood by those around them, because they are not meant for human comprehension. Instead, they are a form of communication between the individual and God, facilitated by the Holy Spirit.

The gift of tongues can be a powerful way for believers to connect with God in a deep and intimate way. It allows them to pray and worship in a way that transcends human language and understanding, and to experience the presence of God in a unique way. However, as Paul notes, it can also be confusing or even disruptive in a church setting if there is no interpretation provided.

Overall, 1 Corinthians 14:2 highlights the unique and mysterious nature of the gift of tongues, and reminds us that it is ultimately a form of worship and prayer directed towards God.

SunMusk:
Nice wrote up, but you don't elaborate on the use of tongues, that is why people say is Gibberish Paul said thy should be interpretation, if not the person should speak to himself. And most Christians don't have interpretation but still say it loud. And the bible says the spirit of a prophet is under his control. Tongue and miracle has not cease but thy usage is the problem. Paul says where there is speaking in tongue thy should be interpretation. Or the person keep quiet and speak to himself.

You guys are quick to quote Paul in the first few verses of 1 Cor 14 but will never reference the first case of speaking in tongues, why can't a "spirit filled" Yoruba Pentecostan minister to an Igbo man in Igbo language? Mind you, Apostle Peter stated clearly that some of Apostle Paul's teaching are difficult to comprehend and I believe his writings in 1 Cor 14 about the gift of tongues is one of those difficult teachings of Paul to understand and has proven to be a big stumbling block to Pentecostals making your worship sessions being sessions of frenzy. For context sake, if you read 1 Cor 12, 13 you will understand that the gifts of the spirits are not given primarily for the purpose of "self-pleasing" they are giving to individuals to serve the body of Christ. Also, you guys have clearly elevated the gift of tongues above all other gifts of the spirit some even saying speaking in tongues is a prerequisite to salvation.

Speaking in tongues as far as Act 2 is concerned is speaking, for a brief period, in a language which is not ones native language as moved upon by the Holy Spirit for the intent of passing across a gospel message to the surprise of the speakers of the native language who can clearly discern that you are speaking a language you normally cannot speak which then confirms to them that you are being empowered by some supernal forces.

The Pentecostal church is the champion of gibberish. They use scriptures like 1 Corinthians 14:2 (unknown tongues) and Romans 8:26 to back up their false claims. The first case of Speaking in tongues wasn't an unknown tongue. It was an intelligible language, hence the term "unknown" must be an error in translation or gross misunderstanding of Paul's teaching which isn't surprising since Peter declared some of Paul's teachings to be difficult to understand (2 Peter 3:15-16). Now as for Galatians 1:26, interpreting "groanings which cannot be uttered" as speaking in gibberish is both scriptural and linguistic ignorance. How can what cannot be uttered translate as "loud unintelligible untterances"?

On a final note, the Pentecostal churches claim that speaking in tongue is to communicate in the language the devil cannot understand is simply unscriptural for that is not the purpose of the gift of tongues (Go read 1 Corinthians 14) and such a claim is no where to be found in the bible. According to these Pentecostals, if you pray to God in English or your native language, the devil will understand and then block your prayers from getting to God. Lol.

. 1 cor 13:8

contra:
This position of jw is not correct. Read Mark 16:16-18 (KJV) . These are the direct words of Jesus. Emphasise on 17.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


The Bible teaches about speaking in tongues in several places, including Acts 2:4, 1 Corinthians 12-14, and Mark 16:17-18. Speaking in tongues is a spiritual gift that allows a person to speak in a language they do not know, often as part of prayer or worship.

In Acts 2:4, the Holy Spirit descends on the apostles and they begin to speak in tongues. This event is seen as the birth of the Christian Church and the spread of the Gospel to people of all languages and nations.

In 1 Corinthians 12-14, Paul writes about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including the gift of tongues. He emphasizes that speaking in tongues is a sign for unbelievers and a way to edify oneself in prayer (1 Corinthians 14:2-4). Paul also provides guidance on the use of tongues in public worship, emphasizing the importance of interpretation so that others may understand and be edified (1 Corinthians 14:5-19).

Jesus himself spoke about the gift of tongues in Mark 16:17-18, saying, "These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover." This passage indicates that speaking in tongues is a sign of belief and a manifestation of the Holy Spirit's power.

In addition, Romans 11:29 states that "the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." This means that once God has given a spiritual gift, such as the gift of tongues, he will not take it away. Therefore, the gift of tongues is still valid and available to believers today.

In conclusion, speaking in tongues is a biblical and valid spiritual gift that is still available to believers today. It is a way to communicate with God and to build up oneself and others in faith. While it is important to use this gift responsibly and in accordance with biblical guidance, it should not be discounted or dismissed as outdated or irrelevant.

The irritating babbling they do in churches today are religious nonsense as usual.
Speaking in tongues means "to speak in a language you previously do not know how to speak.
To understand the whole idea of speaking in tongues as recorded in the Bible, look at Acts Chapter 2.
The gathering on the Pentecost comprised of people from every nation (language) under heaven. Acts 2:6.
The apostles needed to tell them about the wonderful works of God but they couldn't speak all the languages. Not all the people understood the language of the apostles either.
Worse still, there were no translators!
That was when the Holy Spirit came down to solve the problem.
There are two possibilities.

1. The Holy Spirit made the apostles to speak the language of every nation under heaven so that every person in the congregation could understand.

2. The Holy Spirit made each member of the congregation hear the apostles in their own language. That is, the apostles were speaking their own language (Galileans) - Acts 2:7 but each listener heard a translation (by the Holy Spirit) in his/her own language.

Now, whichever of the above happened on Pentecost, the goal was the same: a language barrier was broken and there was effective communication between people who would not have understood each other.
That is the essence of speaking in tongues.
The word of God should bring light and understanding. Psalm 119:130.
If I go to preach to a congregation comprising of Hausas, Ibos, Yorubas, Isokos, Kanuris, Ibibios, Itsekiris and even people from other countries who speak several other languages, I would need the help of the Holy Spirit to speak to those people in a language they'll understand otherwise I haven't preached.

I don't want to make my response too long.
But here is what the Bible says about speaking in tongues.

1. It is to be directed towards unbelievers so they may believe (Prophesy is for believers).
2. Speaking something that listeners do not understand is madness.
3. If you must praise God in a tongue that your listener do not understand, there must be an interpreter.
4. If there is no interpreter, you must remain silent in the church.

You can see all the above in 1 Cor. 14:22 - 28.

contra:


Corinthians 13:8 reads, "Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away."

This verse is part of a larger passage in 1 Corinthians 13 that describes the importance of love in the life of a believer. In this particular verse, Paul contrasts the eternal nature of love with the temporary nature of spiritual gifts such as prophecy, tongues, and knowledge.

When Paul says that prophecies will cease, tongues will be stilled, and knowledge will pass away, he is not saying that these gifts will disappear completely or that they are no longer relevant in the life of the church. Rather, he is emphasizing that these gifts are not as important or as enduring as love.

Prophecy, tongues, and knowledge were all considered valuable gifts in the early church, but they were not the ultimate goal. The goal was to love God and to love others, and the spiritual gifts were meant to be a means to that end.

So, in 1 Corinthians 13:8, Paul is reminding the Corinthians (and us) that even though these spiritual gifts are important, they are not the most important thing. Love is the most important thing, and it will never fail. The gifts may come and go, but love will endure forever.

Good morning sir
I love your response sir
I wish I could discuss with you face to face

But there are things that I would love you to consider then may be we will have a clear understanding

First about what happened on the day of Pentecost whether Apostles were speaking their own language or every language
Think about this statement of Paul : Paul said when I speak in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays but I don't understand what I am saying

Speaking in tongues is a gift
Understanding of tongues is another gift on its own

Remember Paul told them to pray for the gift of understanding speaking in tongues
You will see these in 1 cor 12 and 1 cor 14
If you need specific verses, let me know

You said Speaking something listener's don't understand is madness and I agree
But you must understand the context in which Paul was saying that

He was saying it in context of public worship like in the church or where people are listening to you

But Paul encouraged them to speak in private

It's is gibberish and nonsense when you are speaking it in public and there's no interpret but it's not gibberish if you are a speaking in private
