The context for that verse is the end times scenario. Nothing to do with the salvation of our souls. You are promoting salvation by personal effort. (works)

As soon as you measure your salvation by anything other than the finished work of the vicarious atonement you have lost your faith. You have transferred the basis of your salvation from the finished work on the cross to your own works. If your "ultimate" salvation is based on your own...

Why are there things in my post quote that I did not write?

That depends on who you ask. A.D. 100 - Eusebius (Church Historian): Writing to the preaching evangelists who were yet living, Eusebius says: "Of those that flourished in these times, Quadratus is said to have been distinguished for his prophetical gifts. There were many others, also, noted in...

Five Different kinds of tongues 1) Personal prayer language - Speaking to/with God 2) Intercessory prayer language - Praying for others in the Spirit 3) Prophetic prayer language - Addressing the whole church/preferably with interpretation 4) Singing in the Spirit - Singing in...

Right there you are off the mark. You take your definition of tongues from Acts chapter two but then refer to tongues as a gift. (which is defined in 1 Cor.12-14)

There are more than one kind of tongues. I count at least five kinds. You are stuck on one definition. I'll take your lead on this. I went over this earlier.

Are you Catholic? Why would you base your beliefs about spiritual gifts from newadvent. Probably because they are against spiritual gifts. (manifestations of the Holy Spirit)

We have the book of Acts to show the pattern that was established. After that, where's the news? No reason to repeat what was already in play. But obviously the church eventually moved away from the pattern in Acts. Thus the need for the revival of such practices. (as we see today)

So you claim that "poor exegesis" is the result of "human traditions"?

Yet you ask: "Why is praying in tongues necessary?" Tell us. Was it?

That being the case for you, why on earth would you launch a topic asking if it is necessary to speak in tongues? Based on your experience why would you wonder if you had to speak in tongues. Because you are "seeking friendly conversation"? Get real.

By telling tongues-speakers they are engaged in gibberish? How does that help? Here we are at page nine. What have you "learned"?

Okay, in your case I'll settle for "experiential ignorance". If you spoke in tongues even once, you would have a much deeper understanding of it.

Now you are comparing a manifestation of the Holy Spirit to burning Bibles? What was that you said about "seeking friendly conversation"?

When has the "community" ever complained about such. Another figment of your imagination.

Most likely a figment of your imagination. No facts here.

And here you attribute tongues speaking to the pagans "meaningless repetition"? (emphasis above mine) This has absolutely NOTHING to do with tongues. What was that about eisegesis that we read earlier? 1 Corinthians 14:39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not...

Well, are you are part of the solution or a part of the problem? Claiming that modern tongues is gibberish is contentious. I find it interesting that tongues speakers never expect anyone else to speak in tongues, but anti-tongues people want us to stop. Or at a minimum "instruct" us as to...

If that's what you believe, then what is the point of your OP question? "Why is praying in tongues necessary?"
