You're wrong on both counts.
Paul says in I Corinthians 14 that tongues are not normally understandable unless someone is given the gift of interpretation - which may not be the case! (verse28)
And there are also occasions, even today, when the tongue is understandable by one or more people without the gift of interpretation. My husband knows of an instance where someone prayed in tongues for an injured motorcyclist - and was amazed to discover later that he had been praying for the guy in Turkish!

I have heard testimonies similar to this as well. And, it is Biblical.

Acts 2:8
“And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?”

Acts 2:8 (Context)

5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

I was baptized by the Holy Spirit when I was 10 yrs old. never spoke or prayed in tongues. I had a female friend that said that she prayed in tongues but didn't speak in tongues. but when she prayed in tongues things happened.

How many witnesses would you require for verification and confirmation? What kind of evidence? Videos, perhaps? - but videos can easily be faked.

Way back in the 1960s a journalist called John Sherrill collected testimonies of numerous instances where tongues had turned out to be known languages. He wrote a book called "They Speak with Other Tongues." How many testimonies are required to make a convincing case, in your view?

Is this what you call tongues ? :)

Or are you willing to learn ?

And yet they could hear it as though it was spoken in their own tongue .
OR do you THINK it’s too hard FOR GOD TO DO THAT .

Don’t speak FOR me, what I did NOT say.

Notice the others heard what sounded like mumbo babbling to them .
IT was THE SAME language , THE SHEEP could hear and understand in their own tongues
But the rejectors could not hear and understand .
SO lets do an exodus outta mens doctrines and an entrodus back into JUST the bible please .

Men CAN study and Learn Foreign Languages.

God chose men to Speak the Gospel to foreign speaking men, and Gifted such chosen men the Ability to Preach the Gospel in a foreigners Native Language.

Who said otherwise?

Who said otherwise?

Yes , in a language that is/was KNOWN to others and not this jibber jabber nonsense we sometimes see today

Genuine speaking in tongues can't be taught. It's a GIFT!

I have seen preachers delivering a Sermon in English…and interject 6 or so gibberish, and then continue in English.

What, Who’s native Language… ? and what part of “six words” of the Gospel was said to them?? No one says, identifies, interprets.

I believe, Some Disciples were “Gifted” with the Ability to Speak, “Teach”, “Preach a Sermon”, in “Foreign Languages” To Listeners, whose language was different.

For years, men attended, Beautiful Churches, listened to preaching, Sermons, singing in a foreign language, that the listeners had no knowledge / understanding of what was being said. Weird.

Glory to God,
Taken

Was the 'gibberish' translatable by anyone in the audience ?
1 Cor 14:27-28
27If 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.
28But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

ur not exactly my doctrine of men learned one .
THEY spoke the heavenly language all right .
And yet they could hear it as though it was spoken in their own tongue .
OR do you THINK its too hard FOR GOD TO DO THAT .
Notice the others heard what sounded like mumbo babbling to them .
IT was THE SAME language , THE SHEEP could hear and understand in their own tongues

Of course men can speak in foreign langauges . i learned a couple in high school at later in college .
DONT mean i was speaking in tongues at all . Any pagan has the ability to learn languages .
Someone lied to this people , as if the HOLY langauge of GOD can be taught in schools of men .
IT was and it is OF GOD . And that heavenly language is not learned or taught in the schools of men .
It is a gift given by GOD .

Heavenly language? Odd terminology.

A man speaking in a foreign language he was not taught, TO a people hearing the Gospel in their language IS the Gift of tongues From God.
No one said otherwise.

An English Speaking Preacher Giving a Sermon to English Speakers, blurting out , gibberish, in the middle of his Sermon…is a benefit and purpose for who?
