Paul spoke in tongues more than all of us...but he was educated. Educated in Hebrew. But lets not forget the very next verse in which it sounds like he would rather not do it in church.
vs.19 Yet in the church I had rather speak 5 words with my understanding, that by my voice I might reach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
Chewy mentioned yesterday about people in the mic that rattle off tongues. It would seem by this set of scripture that that isn't biblical?

Kutless,
It's clear in chapt 14 that speaking in tongues is a gift of the Spirit and therefore is supernatural and does not come from learning a language from a book, in school, etc. It's not a natural gift that God gives either. Because Paul is talking about the body of Christ and to become part of that body one must be born again spiritually.
Paul tells us that speaking in tongues edifies the person doing it which is kind of funny when looking at it through your argument you would have to say it means preaching to yourself in another language is edifying! LOL If I was fluent in Hebrew as well as English and spoke/ preached to myself in Hebrew instead of English, how would that edify me?
