It all boils down to spiritual immaturity, even on the Pastors part..

1 Corinthians 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

People really should pray in tongues at home in private for the sake of the unlearned and for the sake of the unbeliever.

26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

The problem is many go to church to edify themselves instead of seeking to edify others. Part of the blame is on the ministry for allowing everyone to be so co-dependent on them, the other part of the blame is on the members themselves for staying in the infant stage..

32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

People should exhibit authority and control over themselves and their spirits because God is not the author of confusion..

38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

Or if people wanna be carnal while "Acting Spiritual" then let them be such.

40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

It's time to grow up and think of others that are without...
