How they prophesy is how I understand how they were to interpret those that speak in tongues.
1 Corinthians 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 explains how the Spirit divides the gifts severally as He wills for why Paul was saying in chapter 14 that if any one speaks in tongues, they should pray that "he", the Holy Spirit, may interpret through another as set forth in chapter 12. It is his spirit praying, not the Holy Spirit. It is Paul that is praying to the Lord Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit will interpret thru another. It is the Holy Spirit thru another that he is praying to understand thru another so that the tongue being manifested thru himself would be fruitful to himself.
1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
So that is how I read 1 Corinthians 14:27-29 that way because Paul sets the precedent in chapter 12 in how the Holy Spirit will manifest the gifts.
"It cannot be true by scripture." I will have to go back and edit it for clarity.
The same method for how they prophesy with 2 or 3 and another judge is the same for speaking in tongues while another interpret. Otherwise, Paul's words would fall flat in how believers can speak in tongue and then interpret that tongue they had spoken as they need no other member of the body of Christ to do it.
Since Joyce Meyers testified that she interprets tongues by getting the feel or the gist of what is being said, it is no wonder why other believers think they know the language that they are praying in when it is a guess as well. And when it is confirmed that he is actually speaking a foreign language and he says he is interpreting it as a language he does not know, scripture exposes that person as a liar. It is too convenient & easy for any one to be tempted to speak like that when they can know more than one languages where they can come in and mislead people into thinking they are speaking in tongues and lie about not knowing that other language when they do just to bring attention to themselves.
A church had actually thought that they had God's gift of tongues until they had hired a linguist to record it all and interpret it for them to know the many languages being spoken in that church. As it turned out, it was all gibberish nonsense and so the people were either interpreting tongues by winging it like Joyce Meyers was, or they were lying about interpreting that tongue to fit in.
God only knows and those tongue speakers do too, but until they say that they do not know that language they are praying in as confirmed by someone else that knows that language to be that language, no one can expose them for lying about not knowing that language because the Holy Spirit will not have one person speak in tongue and use the same person to interpret that tongue spoken by that same person. No way.

WRONG.
It is very clear from these comments that you are an armchair critic of the supernatural. All you are doing is spouting what you think happens or should happen but have no actual experience of what does happen. And as this thread is about your EXPERIENCE of the supernatural, why are you commenting as you have no experience? That is totally dishonest on your part as all you are doing is trying to convince people that the supernatural is the product of Satan. PEOPLE I MIGHT ADD WHO KNOW IT IS NOT.
