"There is often speaking in "tongues" without proper interpretation (contrary to 1 Corinthians 14:28); unless this requirement is met, it does absolutely nothing to edify the church (14:4-5). The biblical requirement of speaking in turn is frequently not observed (14:27-30); rather, a number of individuals speak at the same time (this lapse in proper church order is inexcusable, for "the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets," 14:32)."
Brian M. Schwertley, The Charismatic Movement: A Biblical Critique, p. 20
I whole heartly agree Jesse, even if what the penecostal's are saying are genuine speaking in tongues, they are going about it all wrong. This is an important issue that needs addressing and I'm glad you brought it up.
