I watch your videos as a Zambian 🇿🇲 and I’ve been watching them through the books of Roman and now Corinthians, lovely to find out you’ve visited Zambia.🙏🏽
Tongues are other languages brothers and sister , not gibberish. And even if it was the gibberish that some churches allow there is never an interpreter for these things to just seems out of order.
"If someone speaks in a different language, he is speaking only to God. The people who hear him do not understand his message. God's Spirit is causing him to speak about secret things. It does not help people. Anyone who speaks in a different language only helps himself. But a person who speaks a message from God helps the believers in the church to become strong. There are many different kinds of languages in this world. They all mean something to the people who speak them. Perhaps somebody may speak to me in a language that I do not understand. Then we are like foreign people to each other. So, if you speak a message in a different language, you should pray to God about it. Pray that you may be able to explain to people what the message means. If I pray in a different language, only my spirit is praying. But I do not use my mind while I pray like that. This is what I should do: I will not only pray with my spirit. I will also pray with my mind. I will sing to praise God with my spirit. And I will also do that with my mind. If you are praising God only with your spirit, not everyone will understand. Believers who have not learned these things will not know what you are saying. They cannot agree and say ‘Amen’." 1 Corinthians 14:2, 4, 10-11, 13-16 EASY
A fruit of the spirit is self control. And the Holy Spirit will not contradict scripture. We can choose to exercise whatever spiritual gift we are given.
I have realized that you said, “at a specific time.” This would be the time chosen by the Holy Spirit but you do have to exercise self control. Don’t do it for others to see, but we have to ensure we do it for edification.

What makes you say tongues are other languages
@@smouvecouve8082 By looking at the interpretation of the Greek word for tongues
@@smouvecouve8082it states it in the Bible…
@@prodriley where ? Please tell me I am confused
Amen
Every verse in regards to tongues has various conditionals inserted. Most are 3rd person indicative. Diermenues. Hermeneutics comes from that word
What about private prayer language or praying in tongues during private/personal worship at home and alone?
Where does Paul speak about a private prayer language?

Back then a Profitess only spoke to the woman.
confused, Ithought the spirit leads in tongues,i.e. I have no control over tongues other than what the spirits gives me at a specific time

1 Corinthians chapter 11 precedes 😮
Tongues is the only gift that is restricted. The one speaking can't interpret his own tongues
The gift of tongues is controlled entirely by the Holy Spirit. It is never restricted, if the Holy Spirit wants a dozen to speak in tongues they will.
