Again, you don't understand our New Covenant. Nothing in it ends until the covenant itself ends. That is Scripture. But you go along and join your Cessationist friends, and let the blind lead the blind.

No, because you have no idea of covenant law, you think it can be broken. When you show that ignorance, nothing you say is credible like: - tongues was for writing scripture. - tongues ceased in the middle of the covenant when the scriptures were published. - tongues could be understood by the...

Except that your opinion is not based on scripture, but a far-fetched interpretation, and Charismatic's are based on actual scripture.

Wrong.

Wrong.

What do you believe is the purpose of speaking in tongues?

For the mind, yes, but the SPIRIT is edified.

But you are misinterpreting "understanding is unfruitful" to meaning it IS fruitful. No, it's not WITHOUT the gift of interpretation of tongues.

I've seen and read in scripture that someone being drawn to Jesus and not yet saved was sovereignly given the interpretation of tongues (like in Acts 2), but can't explain by scripture someone supernaturally understanding a human tongue. That could be word of knowledge.

Only to you, but it is the reason for the separate gift of interpretation.

Indeed, the Dave version. It is the reason for the separate gift of interpretation.

"understanding is unfruitful" means the MIND is not edified. But it says their spirit is edified - built up.

Where in Acts 2 is someone speaking in their own language, and listeners hear in theirs? I don't see the gift of interpretation found in scripture to understand the tongues of man. I'm not saying, that God wouldn't allow that kind of miracle, but just no example of such.

The scriptures actually says that without interpretation, the speaker's SPIRIT is edified, but they do NOT have understanding in their MIND. Why can't you believe what it says, that to be edified is not just with the mind? We've gone over this before. 13 Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue...

No, God doesn't contradict His word in such a way. Tongues are not for the purpose of being understood by man. that is a common myth from human reasoning. That is very clear in 1 Corinthians 12-14, especially 14:2. The tongues spoken on the Day of Pentecost were supernaturally spoken, AND...

Yes, that was the whole purpose of John The Baptist's ministry that prepared the way to Christ.

I agree. All I'm saying is God sovereignly allowed them to interpret the tongues to draw them to Christ and repentance.

Exactly. That is why they were referred to as "devout" Jews. They belonged to God already and being called. What others "heard" was gibberish and thought they were drunk. My thoughts on who those were is they were Romans or other Gentiles that the gospel was not yet for. But I do not believe...

The cup of the New Testament represented the sinless blood of Jesus, thus red and unfermented - new wine.

The Psalm is good, but the writing line work would get criticized on Ink Master as not being precise. It may look better in a few days when the swelling and redness heals.
