Tongues at Corinth: Languages, not Ecstasies!

“The sounds uttered, are significant…. The man does not make a mere senseless noise, but speaks a real language. Therefore, if I know not the meaning of the voice (i.e., the language) — I shall stand in the relation of a foreigner to him, and he to me. Otherwise, it would not be so! If a man utters incoherent, inarticulate sounds which no man living could understand — that would not make him a foreigner. It might prove him to be deranged, but not [to be] a stranger! The word barbarian means simply one of another country…. In this passage…barbarian means simply ‘foreigner.’ Comp. Rom. 1:14; Acts 28:24; Col. 3:11.
