...Those who spoke in tongues were in the lowest of the church's positions:.1Corinthians 12:28. Paul said to reach higher than that and he was going to show us a better way:.1Corinthians 12:31. 1Corinthians 13 shows that love supersedes the gift of speaking in tongues and prophesying

Paul says that speaking in tongues is useless to others unless they understand what it is that you are saying:.1Corinthians 14:6-9. Better to communicate love in a language that others can comprehend, like giving and helping those in need, even a smile; better than trying to impress someone.

If tongues is important to one, he should be sure that he is able to correctly interpret what is gibberish to others:.1Corinthians 14:11,13,27,28

Paul communicated with God in both words he understood and in tongues he did not understand:.1Corinthians 14:14,15

Tongues were a sign to unbelievers.(1Corinthians 14:22), but some spiritual persons.(believers).today expect new believers to evidence their receiving the Holy Spirit by hearing tongues from them.

I have had some ask me about tongues. That was first and most important on their mind. Was I like them? They had to know! My thoughts were: Did they care about what I was learning about the spiritual ways? Why didn't they ask "What are you learning lately?" No, They wanted to know if I was in the narrow field of their particular interests.

Some religious people act as though they prize.(Philippians 3:7-10,14).tongues and prophesying more than love and are so zealous over others accepting their tongues and prophesying beliefs, that they think it strange and that maybe one is not in touch with God, if another thinks differently. Such as this lack wisdom in interpersonal relationships in not respecting where others may presently be in their spiritual growth, not realizing that it is not tongues and prophesying, but Him that makes us acceptable, Him that is leading us to respect God and Him that is working righteousness in us:.Acts 10:35. It is the unity in love that is.important:.Ephesians 4:13-18; Galatians 5:6;.Colossians 3:14 "And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.".A few need to learn how to be at peace with others:.Hebrews 12:14

Anyone unfamiliar with and attending a tongues speaking church for the first time will think that they are all nuts:.1Corinthians 14:23

Some churches devote whole services to public.(congregational) prayer to God in tongues:.Matthew 6:6 "But you, when you pray, enter into your closet.(a quiet private place).and when you have shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret and your Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly."

If one wants to speak in tongues in church to others, it should be done discreetly, with wisdom and be a small part of the overall church program:.1Corinthians 14:27,28, 39,40.
