Tongues at Corinth: Languages, not Ecstasies!

“The man using a foreign language, was able to understand it. See 14:2,4,16.” Thus, he also “may have had the gift of interpretation in [close]

connection with the gift of tongues.” Yet even though he would “understand the language which he used, he needed [another] distinct gift to make him the organ of the Spirit in its interpretation.” Naturally, if speaking with tongues were to have been “speaking incoherently in ecstasy — it is hard to see how what was said, could admit of interpretation! Unless coherent, it was [or rather would have been] irrational. And, if irrational — it could not be translated!”
