Hi, DTM.
'Tongues' again, huh? *grooaaannnn*
About six times a year I get my arm twisted by Mrs Mole to attend Sunday meetings.
Lucky you!
In the early days the "translation" seemed to be twice as long as the actual "Tongue Speak" but lately it seems to be the other way round with in most instances a much shorter "translation". Any ideas?
Try this one on for size: 1 Corinthians 14:2 & 13-17 makes plain that when someone offers a 'tongue' in church, that it is the person's spirit that is praying to God. If the 'interpretation' comes back sounding as if it was from God to the people, then clearly it ain't a valid 'interpretation'  This, of course, rules out completely all Revivalist 'interpretations'. You see, the Revivalists mistakenly believe that 'tongues' equals the Holy Spirit; therefore, when someone prays in 'tongues' (Scripture however uses 'if'), that it is the Spirit praying through them. Balderdash and poppycock!
Blessings,
Ian
