What does Paul say about praying in tongues?
In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul describes speaking in tongues as speech directed to God. He distinguishes personal edification from what builds up the gathered church, where interpretation allows others to understand. Vince Baker’s teaching uses this passage to discuss speaking in tongues as part of a life of prayer.
