Heres 1 Corinthians 14:26-28
Good Order in Worship
"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. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God."

At least you admit it. But here is the secret. STOP TRYING TO DO IT YOURSELF, let GOD's LOVE that He put in you when you were Born Again, Rom. 5:5, be the SEED in your heart that produces an abundant harvest OF LOVE FOR HIM and the brethren, the exact same kind of LOVE HE PUT IN YOU. In other words YOU DO NOT GET THE CREDIT, YOU GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO HIM.
1 John 3:14-19 (HCSB)
14 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
16 This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers.
17 If anyone has this world’s goods and sees his brother in need but closes his eyes to his ⌊need⌋
—how can God’s love reside in him?
18 Little children, we must not love with word or speech, but with truth and action.
19 This is how we will know we belong to the truth and will convince our conscience in His presence,
Galatians 2:20-21 (HCSB)
20 and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
YOU ARE TRYIN TO DO IT YOURSELF, instead of TRUSTING IN CHRIST TO DO IT THROUGH YOU.

I know you all have Bibles look up love and every passage where Jesus talks about it and reconcile love with works. You'll see the most important sign the Holy Spirit is within you is love. No hoops or barriers or works required. Love comes with the salvation package or you'r doing something wrong. nite nite, cali.
