Not.
If you look closer here, these Tongues are not known human languages at all that is being talk about here.... As the Apostle Paul said...Tongues of Men and of Angels.
The Scripture clearly says that there are various types of Spiritually gifted Tongues.
The Tongues here refer to Spiritually gifted languages or words given to a person for there own personal edification.
Look at the verse that says that NO man understands them, and that the person's own understanding is Unfruitful regarding them.
These Tongues are for the individual???s OWN edification, not the rest of the Congregation.... And this is why the Apostle Paul says that in a group setting (in Church) he does not use his personal edifying gift, because his focus is on the edification of others around him in a group setting.
He says that though he uses his personal edifying gift of Tongues in his personal prayer life more than anyone else, he chooses rather to keep that between him and God in a group setting...
If this counsel were headed today, there would be little confusion.
I'll post the references if needed.
