Mr. Bauscher was not wrong linguistically at all.
He just went with his theology there and because of that the text makes zero sense.
Why? Because the passage is talking about a Gifted Heavenly Tongue that is given to the person for their personal edification.
It is in no way talking about the natural human language that one learns to speak over time and then learns to translate over time into other human languages.
One careful read-through of Mr. Bauscher's translation of 1st Corinthians Chapter 14 will show this clearly.
It make no sense at all to use "Language" and "Translation" in these passages...but is real clear with "Tongues" and "Interpretation of Tongues". Which are both given by the Holy Spirit as Gifts. i.e. you don't have to work for it.... <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/wink1.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s -->
