No it isn't. I am just glad to see a church taking a reasonable stand when it comes to the gifts. Why should just any person have the right to cause confusion within the church?

A few weeks back a man said the f word out loud in church. The pastor was just going to let it slide because he thought the man was not a christian and just accidentally let it out at something the pastor said. Well, he kept getting louder so security had to ask him to leave.

Tongues and interpretation in a church with 2000 random people can't be helpful unless practiced correctly.

The problem is tongues and Interpretations are both considered ecstatic utterances explicitly caused by the Holy Ghost. In fact, what I know if interpretations usually someone does not get a typewritten message they can submit to board of elders. He or she gets a word or a sentence and once they utter that the rest follows

And if tongues were mechanical, then yea I can see them going to a board of elders and speaking in tongues then getting approval to repeat it in church.

It just seems comical to have someone give a tongue in your church and the guy that gets an interpretation has to wait a week to see if the board approves it?

that would be quenching the Spirit, just in my opinion. also the message could be directed at some one who came that day.

For instance when we started going to church, one of the members had passed away at the church we was attending. so no church that night. However my brother was really under heavy urges to go to a church we never went to before.

The pastor was not there and some evangelist stood in for him. He couldnt tell if we was members or not. But he come out and spoke a word to my brother Called him out to, specifically for Him. if that word had awaited approval he would never have gotten it. cause he has not been back to that church since.

so there is a danger of doing that, inmho

I am sure there are thousands who do. I have seen people that looked like they were speaking in tongues during worship. The gifts are encouraged but with so many calvinist/baptist it is not something that people do out loud. I know that in our membership class there were a lot of questions about it. I haven't been to the prayer meetings because I am not ready to be around any of that stuff again. Just makes me to nervous.

Definitely comical and sad at the same time.
