There are only two ways in scripture that the gift of tongues operates,...
- Personal prayer and personal edification.
- Corporate speaking by The Holy Spirit in the local assembly for corporate edification and inspiration.
That's it.
It is a very basic gift that requires the gift of interpretation to understand it.
sure, but that's also a no true scotsman argument.None of that would ever happen in a traditional Liturgical church
Paul seems to have plenty of verses that suggest both are legitamate, and i'm supprised to see how many here disagree with Paul when he plainly differentiates between those who speak in tongues for the edification of the church (but that can only happen with an interpreter)
and those who pray in tongues for the edification of theselves.
and when that happens, the mind is unfruitful, so Paul claims to pray with his mind (presumably in his native language) --while his spirit is praying in tongues.
can you speak in tongues out loud or in your mind, at the same time as having a conversation with someone, in the mind or outloud?I can talk in my mind to Jesus while I also pray by my spirit out loud. It's quite easy.

personally i cannot, i can't even imagine being able to do that.
you didn't answer the question, i included that option in my question.The gift of tongues in personal use is prayer, so that is always between GOD and I, so I wouldn't be trying to do that around another person.

so, lets try again.
can you speak in tongues in prayer to God while at the same time speaking in english to someone else, or to God, AT the same Time.
