Below is 1 Corinthians 14:16

New International Version
16. Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying?

In the bolded above, what was to be said "Amen" to?
What Paul did is exactly the samething Peter and John did in Acts 8:17

Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

So what if there was no interpreter, would praying in tongues still be conducted? Would one be obligated to believe that a person actually speaks in tongues if one does not understand what the person is saying?
And it is not possible not to see anyone without the gift of interpretation of tongues among the congregation!

1 Corinthians 12:10
to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

If you have Holy Spirit, you'll know

But if you don't give Holy Spirit chance to operate in your kingdom hall (so far if you are one of them) where you are gathered, you won't know all these!

Holy Spirit is meant for everyone who seek for him

So everyone with holy spirit is a tongue interpreter?
So if I pray in tongues in your presence, you would be able to interprete all what I have said?

I don't have miraculous gift to wake up the dead as some Apostles of Christ did and some are doing!

Why can't you do that since it is from the same holy spirit?

If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God.

Explain....because you claimed that anyone who has the Holy spirit should be able to speak and interpret tongues together. So why not the rest?

At the moment when he layed his hands on them, what is Apostle Paul doing? Maybe he was singing right?
The Bible did not say, let's leave that as something not revealed but as for what is written no one prayed in tongue that is why Paul was correcting people who thought presumptuously saying jargons could be approved after all they can say it's praying and praying is part of worship in Christianity! undecided

As at the time he layed his hand on them, he was praying after then they received Holy Spirit. Peter and John in Acts 8:17 did the same

Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

What you need to ask your elders in Jws is that why not giving room for Holy Spirit to operate in your Kingdom Hall and your lives?

You have no excuse there is nothing like praying in tongues and apostle Paul has condemned it because it doesn't add up! smiley

Read from verses 26


26 What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret.
