(TallMan;50372)
Yes it does:-1Co:14:14: For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.So, the speaker doesn't understand what he/she is saying, and neither will any that over-hear unless they happen to know that language, and even then they are not being spoken to.It's like if I'm walking down the Champs Elyses in Paris and I over-hear 2 american tourists talking, I will recognise the words and may even know that they are talking about lunch or a film they saw, but, I would be wrong and foolish to assume they were talking to me.At Pentecost, bi-lingual Jews overheard the disciples speaking to God in tongues and they recognised they were talking about the things of God, but they were all left in doubt and confusion because they were not a part of those things and they were not being spoken to.Ac:2:12: And they were all amazed,
and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?1Co:14:2: For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.Nonsense!None of those that over-heard tongues understood the gospel as a result!Peter stood up, they all
stopped speaking in tongues and Peter spoke
to the crowd in the common learned language,
then they understood the gospel, obeyed it by being baptised and receiving the same . . then they returned home so the gospel spread without anyone needing a new language to speak to men in.
And as I have showed you before the Word UNKOWN was added by men its not in the manuscripts.Penecost was God speaking through men teaching his Word , 1 Cor. is men teaching men the Word of God in their natural languages to spread the Gospel around the World as commanded thats it no babble no new baptism. One baptism one God one religion all teaching and spreading the Word of God. Speaking in Tongues After the disciples were baptized in the Holy Spirit “they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance” (Ac. 2:4). When the apostles are filled with the Holy Spirit they become the Spirit’s mouthpiece by speaking in tongues (i.e.,
spoken foreign languages) to a large assembly of foreign Jews.
Because the gift of tongues is greatly misunderstood in our day (primarily by Charismatics) it is important that we carefully define the biblical phenomenon of tongues. What are the biblical tongues?
(1) The term tongues (in Greek glossa, plural glossais) when used of human speech always refers to the speaking of actual human languages.59 In the Greek translation of the Old Testament (the Septuagint) the word glossa occurs thirty times and always refers to real human languages.60 In the book of Acts where we are introduced to the supernatural phenomenon of tongues speaking, Luke emphasizes the fact the that
apostles were speaking real, known, human languages. “And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, ‘Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?’” (Acts 2:5-8). That the disciples were speaking real human languages is evident in the following observations. (a) The tongues were immediately understood by the hearers from several different Roman provinces and lands without any need for interpretation. This fact can only mean that the apostles were speaking real, normal languages. Remember the miracle or sign was in the speaking; not in the hearing. The hearers at this point were not even believers. “What this speaking ‘with different tongues’ means is stated in v. 6: ‘everyone heard them speaking in his own language;’ and in v. 11: ‘we are hearing them telling with our own tongue the great things of God.’ The disciples spoke in foreign languages that were hitherto unknown to them, in the very languages of the natives of the foreign lands who were presently assembled before them.”61 As if to emphasize that the disciples were speaking real languages and not gibberish, Luke even lists the peoples which heard their native tongues: “Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs–we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God” (Acts 2:9-11). (
In Acts 2, glossais is used by Luke interchangeably with dialektos which the eminent lexicographer J. H. Thayer defines as “the tongue or language peculiar to any people.”62 Obviously, if Luke uses tongues (glossais) and languages (dialektos) in a parallel or synonymous manner, tongues speaking cannot refer to gibberish. “The equation of ‘tongue’ and dialektos in verse 8 shows that speech in different languages is meant.”63 The languages are listed in verses 9 and 11.We are not going to argue tongues again there are at least 50 threads doing so there is no babble in the Word of God it is a religious belief not scripture you want to practice it thats one's own choice but it is not written as any act of any aspostel.
