Lets consider a new congregation and nobody knows if someone has that gift...they cant speak in tongues because they dont know. They wont know because in your view they cant speak in tongues unless they know beforehand

Praxeas, have you never been in a service like that?
If a person feels led to speak out in tongues, they should do so. You've got to speak before you know if there is an interpreter there or not.. There is a holy hush that comes over the audience. everybody bows their head and prays that someone will bring forth the interpretation. And sometimes there is no interpretation. And that is the end of it.
I believe that is also in the right order according to Paul. They have to speak first.

But after one to three have spoken, wait for the Interpretation.

:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God

After that, if there is no interpretation, then there isn't to be any more speaking in tongues, in that service.
Some of you old timers chime in. Am I telling it right?
