My understanding, based on the testimony of tongue-speakers themselves, is that the first position you noted is correct. This would also seem to cohere with Paul's comment in 1 Corinthians 14:14 that "if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unproductive." HM: Welcome!

Therefore, I have "boiled" the subject down to what I believe is the most basic question in order to avoid ancillary matters and I will phrase that question in a manner that avoids revealing the position of the interested parties in order to minimize interjected bias. There are two positions regarding speaking in tongues: 1. The tongue speaker does not understand what praise he/she is giving either verbally or mentally. 2. The tongue speaker understands mentally the praise they are giving but listeners cannot understand the verbalization's. Will you clarify these points of view as being correct or incorrect? Sincerely, HM Domond Dr Platypus, Darrell Pursiful,

After last night’s study we discovered during our discussions that we had a fundamental difference in our understanding of the subject. Therefore, I have “boiled” the subject down to what I believe is the most basic question in order to avoid ancillary matters and I will phrase that question in a manner that avoids revealing the position of the interested parties in order to minimize interjected bias.

There are two positions regarding speaking in tongues:
1. The tongue speaker does not understand what praise he/she is giving either verbally or mentally.
2. The tongue speaker understands mentally the praise they are giving but listeners cannot understand the verbalization’s.

Will you clarify these points of view as being correct or incorrect?

That post gives, it seems to me, some very sensible teaching on what baptism and filling with the Holy Spirit really means. But I am not entirely convinced by the distinction he tries to make between pleroo and pimplemi.
