1cor. 14.2 he was saying if a person is speaking german and im american i cant understand him. But God can.
I would offer. . The unknown tongue comes from our sufferings and inward moaning . . . (
Romans 8:26). . . .
Only God alone knows the hearts of all mankind and prepares their hearts for growth The person speaks mysteries. . . not prophecy. . (understandable words", the declared will of God.
1 Kings 8:38-40King James Version What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: Then
hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for
thou, even
thou only, knowest the hearts of
all the children of men
That
they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which
thou gavest unto our fathers.
1 Corinthians 14: 2 For he that speaketh in an
unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for
no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit
he speaketh mysteries. (unknowable )
I do not think it has to do with language barriers. But more how can we hear the voice of the gospel the tongue of God..
In that way signs preaching the gospel called the believers "new tongue" followed that they have been empower to
both believe and go out with the good news that raises the spiritually dead. .
The key signs
follow. . . not lead, not something we seek after. No different than the metaphor poison of serpents to indicate false prophecy being drank or taken in will not effect the believer as a sign that follows. . . . . as
it is written (sola scriptura) The reforming authority in any generation.
Mark 16:16-18King James Version16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these
signs shall
follow them that believe; In
my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues They shall take up
serpents; and if
they drink any
deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them;
they shall lay hands on the
sick, and
they shall recover.
God is no longer bringing any new tongues as prophecy after any manner .We have the perfect. sealed with seven seals til the end of time..
It would seem Christians have a similar example King Saul the people's choice. . . A warning not to seek after
signs to wonder after.
wondering is not
believing, Believing the tongue of
God is believing. .
Certainly we do not seek after things to wonder after ? ? ? ? workers with familiar spirits. . . . . venerated sinners .
1 Samuel 28:6-7King James Version And when Saul enquired of the
Lord, the
Lord answered him not, neither by
dreams, nor by
Urim, nor by
prophets. Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a
familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire
of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a
familiar spirit at Endor.
