Real tongues or fake tongues?

Because tongues is not a holier than thou gift to be paraded. You make a good point, but I believe that according to Paul's instructions, that is not the time to be praying in tongues, out loud.
I haven't been active in church for quiet some time, and I know that if I was praying for someone, I would find it hard not to pray in tongues. And yet, I would remind myself, “that's not the time to be praying in tongues.”

1 Corinthians 14:5 ... except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
:11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
: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?
:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
:40 Let all things be done decently and in order

.

No way would I ever forbid to speak in tongues, except when it is out of order.
I think we need more of it. But it needs to be done right, with the interpretation. Since the gifts were given to edify the church, how is the church going to be edified if no one uses their gifts.

Do you have the gift of interpretation? Can you give me and others some instructions on it.

When I didn't speak out and I told the one that did interpret, she said if I had interpreted the words that I was given, more would have been given to me.
