I'm still waiting for someone to clearly demonstrate that this modern phenomena that we have all observed ("talking in tongues") is actually the same phenomena as that which is described in Acts 2:4, & etc.
Adding heaps of subjective and confusing accounts of what a "real message in tongues" is supposed to "feel like" merely holds the 20th Century Pentecostal Experience up for even more ridicule and criticism.
... imho, of course.

Well first of all Pel, I never offered that it has to be a hush or whatever. In fact I argued against it having to be that way.
Second there is NO biblical model or command for the following regarding interpretation
At our church if a person has a message they are to submit it to the board of elders and only after 1) they agree to be held accountable by the elders, 2) the elders confirm that there is no departure from scripture in the message and 3) the elders feel that it is helpful to the body will they agree to release the message.
If you think there is I would be glad to check it out. But I stand by my first post regarding this
