How many will understand?

1 Corinthians 14 1-5

Speak in Ways That Can Be Understood

 ¹Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially the gift of speaking what God has revealed. ²When a person speaks in another language, he doesn’t speak to people but to God. No one understands him. His spirit is speaking mysteries. ³But when a person speaks what God has revealed, he speaks to people to help them grow, to encourage them, and to comfort them.⁴When a person speaks in another language, he helps himself grow. But when a person speaks what God has revealed, he helps the church grow. ⁵I wish that all of you could speak in other languages, but especially that you could speak what God has revealed. The person who speaks what God has revealed is more important than the person who speaks in other languages. This is true unless he can interpret what he says to help the church

 ¹Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,

 ²for he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue -- to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;

 ³and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;

 ⁴he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;

 ⁵and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.

   Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather so that ye may prophesy.²For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God, for no man understandeth him, however it may be that in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.³But he that prophesieth, speaketh unto men for edification and exhortation and comfort. ⁴He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself, but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.⁵I would that ye all spoke with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied; for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, unless he interpret, that the church may receive 

edifying.

How many of us really understand what Paul writes about using tongues. Each of us are given by the Holy Spirit a way to intercede to God and to speak and express our prayers. When we pray in tongues this is our personal,private,intimate way to help in edifying ourselves and as Paul writes when someone prays in a group,meeting,church,assembly,gathering of believers and they speak in tongues someone must interpret that spoken words that way the whole group, congregation,church is built up and encouraged by the message God reveals. Too many people and too many groups have twisted and changed Paul's writings and taken so much out of context. We Need To return to The Whole Truth of God's Word and to Teach, Learn and to be  Lead by the Holy Spirit and never be sidetracked or confused again. Thank You
