Can ChatGPT interpret speaking in tongues?

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.

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.

personally, i tend to think Paul was a bit on the dissociative identity disorder spectrum and that's why he thinks that when he sins, its the sin that is in him that sins not him. -it would also explain being able to pray in tongues while at the same time praying in native language.

in other words... take it all with a pound of saul. sorry, salt.

None of that would ever happen in a traditional Liturgical church
sure, but that's also a no true scotsman argument.

Lets break down the possibilities:
The woman i spoke of has a demon speaking through her, and the decon/elder was correct.
Why then did he not cast it out of her? or follow up privately later to say hello... you're confused. stop letting this entity speak through you?

Why then did he heed the warning and buy a half dozen fire extinguishers?

Suppose she did speak in "a" language and the spiritual interpretation was provided to the Elder, and just like several in the bible who were informed they are going to hell, he lies to the congregation to get the woman out of his church.. (knowing what was spoken was most likely specifically.. just for him!)

either way, we know the elder did privately speak the interpretation and miss interprets it and chooses to act on his misinterpretation.
-this was about 14 years ago now, the church has not burned down yet.

cowards exist in all congregations. so don't say, that would never happen in mine.

Correct.

I can talk in my mind to Jesus while I also pray by my spirit out loud. It's quite easy.

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?

personally i cannot, i can't even imagine being able to do that.

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.

EDIT: GOD can interject His thoughts and revelation while I may be talking to someone. That always tends to happen with me.

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.

No.

Tongues arises from my human spirit, so I voice that from my mouth, not my mind.
