Jar, thanks for proving what I said.
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself.
And I agree with the other quote also, that except we utter words that be understood...Erm, here's what I said;

There are two - one for edification of the church - and the tongue for prayer in the Spirit, to build and edify one's faith. So these questions are most inapropriate - as this is not a science experiment
So basically I agree with everything you quoted.
Please Stop accusing me of blowing smoke in every thread Jar - it's an unwarranted accusation, and irrelevant to the topic which I am engaging in a serious manner.

Paul is very clear there that speaking in tongues is worthless and pointless
You didn't quote that. That's opinion. He says it edifies the one with the tongue. But yes, I agree - an experiment is worthless, because of your second quote.
It seems you've taken to arguing with me when you even agree with me. May I ask why this interests you?
If tongues is nonsense to you that's fair enough - I don't expect it to mean much to anyone here, nor do I claim I've proved anything.
