First of all, the genuine manifestation is a gift of the Spirit, and you shouldn't use a term like 'blabber' to describe it.
And there are numerous churches where tongues are interpreted, and some churches do insist that tongues spoken out in the congregation be interpreted. I think this is an issue where you may be making assumptions and don't really know much about what you are talking about.
Something which is unscriptural is always of no importance to me. i strongly believe that there is nothing like "unknown tongues".
1.There is no such word as "unknown" tongues in the real scripture. Only KJV and some other versions hveit.
2.I believe "unknown tongues" does not bring any kind of knowledge abt God.And the scripture says, not all will have the gift of speaking in tongues
3.The
teaching that they heard was the most important factor of spiritual worth on that Pentecost day, not that “tongues” were a sign that the Holy Spirit was now available.
1C 12:28-30 And God hath set
some (not all) in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
[Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?
have all gifts of healings?
do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
"me pantes glossais lalousin" in Greek, which translates correctly as
"no all languages are speaking" like
"no all commissioner", "no all teachers"...
How do we know what the pastors in the churches today are interpreting the correct thing???How can u say it is genuine. The same pastors heal the sick, the prophesies..which is all unscriptural...and i have not seen in any churches, a pastor using unknown tongue and somebody else interpreting that!!!!
1C 14:22 so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy is not for the unbelieving, but for the believing,
I'm an Indian, if i was there at the time of peter or paul, as an unbeliever, i would have seen Paul, who is a Jew speaking to me in "malayalam" which is my mother tongue and wud have accepted the truth. Thats the meaning of this verse.
i agree to what nathan said
And that scripture people use. about The spirit makings intersessions for us, with groaning that """"can NOT, be uttered"""" .That is not something you do, when you have the Spirit making intersession for us.
Ro 8:26 . Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
we shud never forget that, About six years later when Paul wrote to the Ephesians, he was then talking about people being
full adults in Christ (Ephesians 4:14–16). No longer did Paul mention a single teaching about “tongues” or the physical manifestations of spiritual gifts. It was
infants in Christ who got carried away with such things, but full adults saw it was the
spiritual things that counted.
May the peace of God be with u
