Writing Tongues

[~Shalhevet~]

Where in the Bible have people written down tongues?

No one will answer my question?

1Cor14:27,28KJV If 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. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

1Cor14:32NAS And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

I would have to say that they do have control because of the above passage. But, at the least, they should be able to speak to themselves and God.

Correct. That's how most of use our tongue(s) - for prayer.

I can picture the unction being so great that it could be very hard to control, but the functioning of the gift is still under their control or else how can they keep silent if there is no interpreter present at that particular service. If its possible and convenient; go to one of the speakers of tongues in the Church and ask if they could stop speaking during their gift's functioning, I would be curious of the answer...

I take it you don't know that it is an intercessory prayer until after the interpretation?

There's only two times I've heard people speaking in tongues - 1. When praying, either alone or with a group (everyone praying), and 2. Declaration.

1) When praying, most people know the courtesy to keep the volume under control. Granted there are times of intensity where you just need to let it out full blast - especially during intercession. But generally, we don't try to make a show of it. In prayer circles, when praying in tongues, we often pray just above a whisper unless we are having moments of intensity (i.e. in non-tongue groups where people would shout out, "Yes, Lord!" We might shout out in tongues rather than English).

In church, if someone is getting out of hand, it should be the pastors, deacons, etc. duty to speak to the person about it.

2) I haven't heard too many declarations. Again, that's for the church leaders to take care of if there is a problem.

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:21
