The thing is, I was just praying in English. And then others were around me praying in English with their hands on me. And i don't know how, what, why, or even to explain it correctly, but I could not say words. I thought i was doing something wrong because I could not speak but wanted to pray more. I wanted the filling of the Holy Spirit. And people watching said my lips just started stammering and I thought I sounded like I was in labor giving birth as a man. And then suddenly, holy moly, it just happened. And when I began Speaking in Tongues, I forgot I was around people. I just got lost in my Worship to God and felt so connected. And now, when I praise and worship and pray, I can feel when it is time to Speak in Tongues and do so without effort.

1st Corinthians 14 on tongues
1. There are two different purposes for tongues :2, 3, 4,
A. Prophecy, which is spoken in an assembly :3
- For believers, not unbelievers :22
- Is for the edification, encouragement, instruction, and comfort of the assembly :3 – 5, :18 - 19
- Convicts unbelievers and the uninstructed :24 - 25
- Prophecy (over uninterpreted tongues) is the greater gift :1, 5, 12,
- It is only to be spoken if there is an interpreter :27 - 28
- For the edification of the speaker :2, 4,
- Allows the speaker to pray about unknown things :3, 4
- We may ask to self-interpret that our minds be fruitful :13 - 15
- Can be sung :15
- A sign to unbelievers :22
- Not to be spoken publicly, unless there is an interpreter :27 - 28
- Violating time and place constraints (such as speaking an uninterpreted tongue in an assembly) creates confusion and misunderstanding :6 – 18, 23,
- Worship is to be orderly :26 – 35, 40
- It is better to not speak, than to do so incorrectly :18 - 19
4. We are to eagerly desire it :1, 38
5. We are to acknowledge this word as the Lords command, or be ignored. :36 – 38, 20 – 21
6. We are forbidden to forbid it :39

Paul said it brings Edification. I know when I normally pray, it seems a hundred ideas pop into my mind to keep me from praying. But I will listen to a true anointed song and it leads me into Praying in Tongues. So, the things I wanted to pray about in English that Satan was fighting me about, I believe gets said in Tongues where Satan can no longer interfere.
2 Weeks ago when 250 acres of my land was on fire and within 6 inches of my home and buildings like the pictures I shown, I did not feel my prayers were getting through in English. As I was walking through the fires, the blackness of the smoke, could not breathe or see, I began Speaking in Tongues and things just got clear. I found my dogs and released them, my horses, cows, llamas, cats, everything. I ran back, which this time the Angel that other 3 Believers confirmed, was side by side working with me. He was telling me that's a Strong Prayer, keep it up. I was Speaking in Tongues and had no idea what it meant, but the Angel said, That's a Strong Prayer keep it up.
So all i know, it WORKS and Angels understand it!

Socrates was right: the ills of the WHOLE WORLD are caused by those who THINK they know, when in fact, they DON'T.
Did you not read and understand:
1 Cor. 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
In other words, under normal circumstances, to listeners he or she is speaking gibberish. Plain and simple and end of story.
So what was different on the Day of Pentecost? Did you not read and understand? "And how hear we every man in our own tongue"
God added another miracle: He caused everyone to hear their gibberish in their own language. Just as Paul told us, they were speaking to God in unintelligible stuttering.
WHO creates these unintelligible sounds? GOD the Holy Spirit DOES. He (the Holy Spirit) creates sounds, attaches meaning to them, then passes the sounds to the human vocal chords and the sounds are then spoken.
What is happening then? God the Holy Spirit - who knows EXACTLY what to pray at all times - is created a prayer, using a born again believer's authority on earth to pray that prayer; then God the Father hears the prayer and ANSWERS IT.
Amazing that you wish to bash God's incredible plan to get the prayers HE WANTS to have prayed - get prayed.
As a side thought: someone praying in tongues may imagine he is praying in a new Lexus, but what he may well be praying is that he stop watching porn.

You are talking OLD Testament. We are no longer under that covenant.
Did you not read?
1 Corinthians 14:31
For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
1 Corinthians 14:29
Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.
New Testament prophecy is on a different level that in the Old. Paul tells us ALL can prophecy. But because all can, others should judge.
