Tongues in the New Testament: multiple types — tongues with interpretation (public) and tongues without interpretation (private).

Tanya Baltzer asks about tongues — actual languages vs. unknown languages.

Mike argues the NT discusses multiple types of tongues. Paul in 1 Corinthians may allude to "tongues of men and of angels." Tongues with interpretation (like Pentecost) and tongues without interpretation are both referenced. Tongues without interpretation should be done in private per 1 Corinthians — if no one can interpret, it edifies no one; keep it to yourself. Churches that ignore this are ignoring Scripture.
