Speaking in tongue is a beautiful and great gift. It is evidence of one being filled with the holy spirit! It is used to strengten your spirit man, and I'm very grateful for it!!!
Nevertheless 'without interpretation', if one or many continue to speak from their mouth in 'a gathering', only 'edify them-self' and are practicing 'lawlessness', in ignorance and disregarding the written 'justification' of the New Covenant/Testament/Agreement regarding this matter, which GOD already made HIS Covenant with HIS Churches, even today, according to 1 Corinthians chapter 14, not to continue doing so.
For such 'self practice' in 'spiritual gift' speaking in unknown tongue without 'interpretation', that which does not 'edify' others, also fellow believers of CHRIST in the same Church, where they also possess other 'distributed gifts' as follows written in chapter 12, distributed by the HOLY SPIRIT Himself, is not permitted at all to be practiced.
But they are permitted do so in 'speaking in unknown tongues' with 'interpretation', interpreted in common human tongue understood by everyone, and also only 'two or three' may speak at one time and while others who speak in same unknown tongues, take turns. So that all the others according chapter 12, with various 'distributed gifts' present there together understand in common human tongue the interpretation of the 'unknown utterance', intercession with GOD, and at the end , altogether are able to say, Amen, and therefore all are 'edified'.
The 'distributed gifts' given to all believers is to 'built up' others and not one-'self'.
GOD bless you in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.
