23\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in\u00a0those who are\u00a0uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind?<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

24\u00a0<\/sup>But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

25\u00a0<\/sup>And thus\u00a0the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on\u00a0his\u00a0face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

26\u00a0<\/sup>How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

27\u00a0<\/sup>If anyone speaks in a tongue,\u00a0let there be\u00a0two or at the most three,\u00a0each\u00a0in turn, and let one interpret.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

28\u00a0<\/sup>But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

29\u00a0<\/sup>Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

30\u00a0<\/sup>But if\u00a0anything\u00a0is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

31\u00a0<\/sup>For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

32\u00a0<\/sup>And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

33\u00a0<\/sup>For God is not\u00a0the author\u00a0of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

convicted (v.24) \u2014 his heart is examined<\/h3>\n

secrets of his heart are revealed (v.25) \u2014 he will see his thoughts and motives in their true light<\/h3>\n

The point of verse 26 seems to be that, instead of being led by the Spirit, they were coming prepared with their “revelations” and all speaking at once.<\/h3>\n

If tongues were to be spoken in church, it should be done only<\/span> if there was an interpreter, and even then, only by two or three people (vs. 27-28).<\/h3>\n

to himself (v.28) \u2014 in private<\/h3>\n

let the others judge (v.29) \u2014 whether the one prophesying was doing so by the Holy Spirit<\/h3>\n

you can all prophesy (v.31) \u2014 All were permitted to speak out if they had prophetic revelation, but only two or three per service (v.29).<\/h3>\n

Verse 32 is saying that those who prophesy had self-control, unlike those speaking in tongues.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
