 There's a lot of confusion around the topic of speaking in tongues because very few realize this. Did you know that the Bible describes three different expressions of the gift of tongues? There's the proof tongue singing Acts 2. This is the one that is heard by the unbeliever as an actual earthly language. Then there's the personal tongue. This is the personal prayer language described in 1 Corinthians 14-2 and 4. Then there's the prophetic tongue. This is the expression of the gift used in the context of a public church gathering that commands the attention of all assembled. This is the expression that requires an interpretation when used and it's seen in 1 Corinthians 14-13. For more teachings on the gift of tongues, make sure to subscribe.
