Even at Pentecost, I think the speakers were given understanding of what they were saying although that is not specifically stated. I think it is safe to assume, however, that they were speaking what they wanted to say and the listeners were hearing them in their own language. Whether they continued to be able to speak those languages after Pentecost, I don't know. The listeners will only understand if what is being spoken is their language.

Therefore, I have "boiled" the subject down to what I believe is the most basic question in order to avoid ancillary matters and I will phrase that question in a manner that avoids revealing the position of the interested parties in order to minimize interjected bias. There are two positions regarding speaking in tongues: 1. The tongue speaker does not understand what praise he/she is giving either verbally or mentally. 2. The tongue speaker understands mentally the praise they are giving but listeners cannot understand the verbalization's. Will you clarify these points of view as being correct or incorrect?

Will you clarify these points of view as being correct or incorrect?

I notice there is never anyone interpreting (at least in the video), and the pastor himself says, "It's something personal between you and God." I wonder what scripture he is basing that statement on. “Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?" (1 Corinthians 14:6) “For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says” (1 Corinthians 14:13). “But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue" (1 Corinthians 14:19). "If anyone speaks in a tongue, two ? or at the most three ? should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God" (1 Corinthians 14:27-28). Interesting.

You both have expressed my objections to the Pentecostal interpretation better than I could myself. Thank you both for such great insights! My pleasure, both of you.
