That's not what Paul said. Paul warned them not to forbid speaking in tongues. The point was that there was to be order "in the church". A time of personal prayer, praise, and worship prior to teaching where people are free to pray in tongues us perfectly fine. But eventually they were to remain quiet and allow the prophets to speak and teach. No more than three elders were to do this at a time and they each had to respect each other and wait in turn if another spoke. As they dialogued with the church body Paul didn't want anyone interrupting in tongues without an interpretation.
Tell me...if Paul commanded that tongues only be used with an interpreter and they were to be limited to three...how many are speaking in tongues and prophesying here...and where's the interpreter????
Acts 19:1-7
1And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
2He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
3And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7And all the men were about
twelve.
Wow...Paul must have forgotten his own instructions! LOLOLOL
