U
Well I tried, do the research.
God bless,
God bless,
You are certainly free to have your opinion.
Not to be trite, but I prefer to trust what the Bible has to say about it.
Tongues is always unintelligible to the person speaking (1 Cor 14:2), and almost always unintelligible to others who hear it, which is why when tongues is spoken in public, it must always be interpreted.
Tongues can be a language of angels (1 Cor 13:1).
Exactly! (except tongues is not a gift, it is a manifestation.)
In 1 Cor 2-14, Paul is writing about the identical manifestation that's written about in Acts 2, 10 and 19.
On the day of Pentecost, to underscore the significance that something wonderful had just taken place, the languages given to the 12 apostles were the languages of other people who were at Jerusalem for the feast. The apostles were speaking in tongues, and did not know what they were saying. But other people present did. They heard the 12 speaking in their own languages (proof that tongues are not gibberish) the wonderful works of God.
That is not guaranteed, and indeed, it almost never happens (but occasionally it does..), which is why we are instructed in 1 Cor 14 that when a person speaks in tongues in public, it must be interpreted.
