New International Version
Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

New Living Translation
A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church.

English Standard Version
The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.

Berean Study Bible
The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.


So what's your point or you just want to argue for nothing?

You are being selective, and this won't build you at all.

If you read my first post to you, you would see that I wrote that speaking in tongues (without an interpreter) in a corporate gathering is a waste. The Bible verse you quoted does not stand in isolation. It is a part of a sermon Paul gave on speaking in tongues and prophesying. Paul believed that prophesying is superior to speaking in tongues without an interpreter. Of course, the essence of spiritual gifts is to edify the church, which is why it is useless to be speaking in tongues without an interpreter.

Read this verse:

If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God. (1 Corinthians 14:28)

Lol. When you speak in tongues, you're not supposed to be talking to the congregation but to God. I'm not talking about prophesying brother.
1Corinthians 14:2 says, “For he who speaks in a ‘tongue’ addresses God, not man; no one understands him; he is talking of divine secrets in the Spirit”

Rednaxelot:
Sakamaje!

None of them understands that gibberish!

Are you a Christian? Are you spirit-filled? Are you practice what you read in the holy scripture...

If any answers to these questions is no,
Then you don't have Idea of Speaking in tongue...

Just Waka pass.

It's completely fake cuz any one can do it.

queenitee:

To your first question, "NO"

I quote someone up there, speaking in tongue doesn't necessarily mean you are praying for yourself, you might be praying for someone out there in the world who needs that prayer at that particular moment, praying I'm some. people's language which if those people are present, they would understand just like in the bible.

Your second question. "YES"

It might not be always, but yes there are interpreters and again the person who speaks in tongue might interprets the message him or herself, it depends on how the spirit is working

1 Corinthians 14:28.
But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God

In the above...it is unconditional.... no interpreter...no one should hear you.

Really?...people speaking gibberish in tongues don't know what they are saying...but yet someone else is interpreting?

I am a Muslim but i believe speaking in tongue is real

There is some certain level you attain in spiritual realm where you learn what you hav not been taught it could be languages or some courses.

In Islam, there some great (Hustas) Alfa or scholars who learn from spiritual realm and they dont read to learn or read twice to assimilate. They can learn the content of a text book within 24 hours and they hav strong retentive memory. Some of these Islamic sheik (Scholars) speaks any language of any ethnics they visit with the help of their spiritual gift. Example of this in Nigeria is Sheik Adam Al-hilori. The founder of Adam islamic school at Agege, Lagos but originated from Ilorin.


In Christianity, especially pentecostal pastors like Cherubim and seraphim hav some great pastors who speaks in tongue and their language have meaning as they always have interpreters who understand the language. I hav came across some pastors who speaks Arabic language fluently and they can read Quran as well. I found out that they learn those languages from spiritual realm.


Unfortunately, majority of those who speaks in tongue now a days ar fake. They just want to prove or impress their victim inorder to convince them that they ar spiritually sound.

Bro, you are refusing to understand simple English.

I just told you (with a Bible verse) that when you are a part of a corporate worship, your gifts should be for the edification of the church, not just yourself.

If you are alone, you can speak in tongues without an interpreter.

But if no one is present who can interpret, they must be silent in your church meeting and speak in tongues to God privately. (1 Corinthians 14:28)

Your gift is not for you alone, but for the whole church.

queenitee:

It is not always fake, but yes speaking in tongue can be faked.

Speaking in tongue is a gift of the spirit, so is interpretation. Some people receive the gift of speaking in tongue, some interpretation, some teaching, some discerning spirit. So because you don't speak in tongue doesn't mean you won't make heaven, it doesn't make you a sinner and it doesn't mean God loves you less. Different gifts for different people.

But some people fake it, yes because they feel not speaking in tongue makes them inferior, so they fake it or learn it. But there's always a different. Cos people who learn it actually when speaking it, would keep repeating the same word and won't flow like those who do not.

Again, it can't be controlled when you are in the spirit because it's not you who is speaking but the holy spirit is the one giving you utterances.

Like Jesus said that in the last days, many would perform wonders in his name but won't be recognised by him because they didn't get their power from him, so also is speaking in tongue, many would speak in tongue and won't be recognised by God because the spirit didn't give th utterances.

We only need to pray for the gift of discerning spirit so as to be able to tell the fake from the real

Interesting observation. Do you speak in tongues?

BluntBoy:


Provide the whole verse.

Misconceptions like yours are what you get when you read the Bible selectively.

You already think that it is a good thing to edify oneself at the expense of the church abi?

I don't understand this? At the expense of the chucrch?

What does it cost a church if a minister, intermittently worships in tongues? Is it wrong to be edified, blessed even as you minister to others?

What if a vast majority of the church speaks in tongues? Yhen At whose expense does this happen?

Yes I said it might not be always. But there is the gift of interpretation and also the person speaking in tongue might interpret herself sometimes.

Bros, your points are invalid because you're the one putting words in my mouth. I never knew you cannot pray personal prayers in church unless you're alone.

No quote me again, I'm tired of this pointless argument. Shalom!

And mind you, the vast majority of the church is not expected to speak in tongues, at least not at the same time.

There are guidelines.

No more than two or three should speak in tongues. They must speak one at a time, and someone must interpret what they say.
(1 Corinthians 14:27)

Can this really be fake � I have seen people speak from oau hall to school gate. If you have been to OAU you will know how far that is.�

I know how those Christian bro and sis pray in in different kind of locations on Oau campus, especially sport hall vicinity, like the basket ball court and so on. but I strongly believe you must understand what you say in tongues to your creator in other to get answers to your prayer request. The main reason why most people don't get answers to their prayers is because they asked in tongues which they don't even understand or can say God does... so in dele omo woli agba's voice, I say Mayazondo

How can you say, you speak in tongue and someone don't understand you absoluetly rubbish i believe it is writen in the bible that when the apostle spoke in tongue people understand them but this days speaking in tongues is fake. I don't believe in it

When you won't read. Go and check my first post to you.

I mentioned corporate worship and even mentioned public prayers.

If it were personal prayers, no one would hear anyone speaking in tongues, so don't try to play smart with me.

It should be always...no interpreter...sit down..shut up.

Who has the gift of interpretation? The gift of interpretation as far as I know... was those who were listening on the Day of Pentecost.... when each interpreted/understood what was said in their own language. So you are trying to tell me...if I speak in tongues..... and wrote down what I was speaking about.... the interpreters that you refer to can tell you the same?

98% of them fake it...

Shut up jare! It's people like you that wre responsible for what christianity has become today. Please what message have u passed now work that 'babes and suckling' yarns?
Someone made a direct observation and the next thing you're producing unintelligent rubbish

Even if I explain to you, you won't listen because your ears are blocked so that in hearing you will not hear and your heart hardened so you will not understand. Keep wallowing in your foolishness.

Do People Who Speak In Tongues Fake It Or Understand It?


https://plugblog.com.ng/do-people-who-speak-in-tongues-fake-it-or-understand-it/

I have always been spiritual than religious, i believe God is an entity who cannot be reached through a single source, he’s like a firm rooted tree with sprouted branches. We all say we worship same God then why do we feel our religion is the only and direct source to him?

Recently my neighbor came to preach to me, he’s been on my neck ever since i told him i wasn’t religious and wouldn’t attend his church. The day he came to preach we argued and argued, i told him God cannot be worshiped through a single source, if you invite me to a mosque i will attend, if you invite me to an Osun festival i will attend i don’t have to attend a church because i am seeking God.

I told him God gave us freewill to think, he gave us scientists and doctors and plastic surgeons, he gave us pharmacists and medicines, he wanted us to know there was more to him thats why we discovered other universes, thats why we can clone a human thats why we ca do IVF, thats why we can do inter sex change and etc.

I reminded him that Christians see Muslims as unbelievers and Muslims see Christians as infidels, none of them are right of course but what do they know. He told me to repent that hell is real, i told him i have seen hell, i have seen the rapture more times than i can count, i told him not to believe everything he read in the bible as it was written by human beings like us, he got up looked at me and said “Na God hand u de” lol.
Now back to my question, i get fascinated when people speak in tongue, in some churches if you dont speak in tongues u never belong, i had a flatmate in my hundred level then who stays with her boyfriend, after dem nack finish you go hear her then speak in tongue lol.

During the halleluyah challenge, i was praying, crying, in spirit, whenever i pray to God i cry, because i feel his awesomeness through me, even when im singing praises, during this time i was praying i found myself speaking a language i do not understand, i was scared so i stopped lest i blasphemed, i continued praying and it started again, but i couldnt understand what i was saying so i stopped again.

Dear christians, when you speak in tongues do you understand what you’re talking about? i thought some people were gifted with interpreting this speaking in tongues while others spake it? how come we have less interpreters and more speakers?
