<strong>“The</strong> <strong>Gift</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tongues</strong> & <strong>Edification”</strong> - (<strong>14</strong>:1-<strong>40</strong>)―One analytical study <strong>of</strong> glossolalia was performed . . . Oneindividual's ecstatic speech was tape recorded and playedback separately to many individuals who sincerely and devoutlybelieved that they had received the gift <strong>of</strong>interpreting tongues. Their interpretations were quiteinconsistent. e.g. one said that "the utterances referred to aprayer for the health <strong>of</strong> someone's children." Anotherinterpreted the speech as "praising God for a recent andsuccessful church, fund-raising effort." It is obvious from thatstudy that those particular interpreters were unable to extractsignificant meaning out <strong>of</strong> the glossolalia.‖http://www.religioustolerance.org/tongues5.htm
