It wasn't a purpose AT ALL!

The Holy Spirit does not contradict Scripture. Why don't you know that?

Yes, we are to encourage each other, but that is not the purpose of speaking in tongues. With tongues we are speaking to God, not to man. In Mark 16:16-18 tongues has no interpretation because it is TO GOD ONE WAY. That is perfect prayer or perfect praise TO God. In 1 Corinthians 12, all of...

So I see you do not believe God's word. 1 Corinthians 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. Obviously, tongues was not meant for preaching.

But Scriptures are the Word of God. 2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. There are only a few...

Found ya! I can take a hint....

The Holy Spirit will never contradict Scripture. That is one way to test the spirits.

But know nothing about Covenants.

Wow! You're not a Partial Preterist; you're a full blown Preterist aren't you? o_O

In other words, you're a bona fide Cessationist.

1 Cor. 14:2 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. ... 5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues...

Where is the rest of your post?

But most of what Paul wrote was scripture. If you are filled with the Spirit and can hear His voice, you can discern what little is not scripture.

The writings of the apostles are also Scripture. IOW inspired by God. Peter called Paul's writings Scripture. Did you know that? But that is only what Paul claims is from God. Scripture explains Scripture. Scriputure never contradicts other Scripture.

Can we get back to the Day of Pentecost? Which do you chose? The word of man, or the word of God?

Yes. But only because it was cultural. The same with men with long hair? There is nothing supernatural about either of those. You can also tell by the context before and after that 34 and 35 were added later. Also his words about women to Timothy was his opinion, not a commandment of God...

Women not speaking or teaching was a Jewish cultural law. Females didn't even go to school! Rules on the Gifts of the Spirit do not have that liberty. At the end of chapter 14 Paul writes this: 37 If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which...

Matthew you can't just believe anything that tickles your ears, but contradicts the Word of God!

What I'm saying about this OP is that the meaning of Acts 2 cannot contradict 1 Corinthians 14:2. Do you agree? 1 Corinthians 14:2 has one meaning about tongues spoken by themselves.

Exactly, but did they understand naturally or supernaturally? Remember you cannot interpret Acts 2 in contradiction to 1 Corinthians 14:2 that no one understand tongues except God. So think carefully.
