Tongues at Corinth: Languages, not Ecstasies!

“For my own spirit knows my own home language, when I pray in it.” Isa. 26:9 cf. Lk. 1:47 & Rom. 8:16. “But ‘my understanding’ is ‘unfruitful'” — if I pray publically in my own home language. Because I should have realized that the spirits of my ‘foreign’ listeners would not be able to follow me in my own home language, unless translated for them. For I should have had the ‘understanding’ to have anticipated that, when ‘foreigners’ have to listen to me praying, they themselves can listen to me only un-fruit-fully — if I pray publically in my own home language inaccessible to my ‘foreign’ listeners!
