So then if I can pray and understand my prayer I would then have two gifts equalling a new language? Is that what you are saying?
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
So then if I can pray and understand my prayer I would then have two gifts equalling a new language? Is that what you are saying?Nope. I am saying that if you pray in your native tongue, it is fruitful for both spirit and mind.
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.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? For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Whereas praying in a Foreign Tongue, is unfruitful.
