Have you never seen someone resting in the Spirit when one who is living a life of austerity and prayer lays hands upon them? A person speaking in a private prayer tongue, not the prophetic type intended for another interpreter, speaks, or rather the Spirit through him with the groanings that cannot be expressed in speech. That is between the soul and God. Please don't presume to know the souls of others-that is for Good alone.
Then how can you know that...”One who is not Catholic cannot claim to know...”? If you are a Catholic, you know only Catholic experiences. I am arguing that the Bible does not support your claims of “deeper experiences” with God. Sorry, it’s not there. Until you are a Biblicist and not a Catholic, you cannot claim to know what is in the Bible.
Where's the authority for this private prayer tongue???
