"1Co 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret."
yes, andrew that is what is done in private. As seen later in the passage. This is not something you do in public. any tongues done in public MUST have a translator.
"Are you willing to open your mouth and speak or do you just want to rationalise the whole thing away as dumb. the choice is yours and God wont force it."
I know I don't have that gift, so I won't misuse the spirit and try to take it. I would prefer a gift that builds up the church
"Are you saying that a person can not pray in church, that threre is to be no pesonal comunication to God in church"
In tongues? That's right, it is not edifying to the church, it is something done in private.
"Also how do you explain the increase of the presence of God when there is praying in tongues in a service."
I don't because there isn't. There is an increase of an emotionalism, but that's all I see increase. The presence of God is just as full without tongues or praying in tongues. For you to even say this tells me that you're going to believe what you want no matter what the bible says
"If you do forbid praying in church then you are forbiding not only the use of tongues but also the use of prayer."
You're making an illogical jump. You are not to pray in tongues out loud, you can pray but you are NOT to pray in tongues at all, that's what the bible says. Its not edifying to the church, just to you. So you should do it in private.
