Could you rework that ref.? :unsure:
Sorry, it's a reference to 1 Corinthians chapter 14.

Paul encouraged speaking in tongues. And pointed out that unless accompanied by the gift of interpretation it was not beneficial for others within the church setting.
(1 Cor 14:5)

Paul's statement indicates that those to whom his letter was addressed spoke in tongues. He said he spoke in tongues MORE then they. He was thankful for the ability to interact directly with God and did so often, but not while in church. (1 Cor 14:18-19)

Never been a sinner, I never sinned [not true]
Ever run into longstanding Christians gathered around the erroneous glow of self-righteousness? Thrown into a 60s hit is how much more destructive? That said, I do agree with one of them I ran into, "There is some good rock-n-roll', just not that lick.

Yes, here is "The Rock That Doesn't Roll" by Larry Norman:

I was lost and blind 'til a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
Then he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
Now my life is changed, it's rearranged
When I think of my past I feel so strange
Wowie, zowie, well he saved my soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road so far from home
When the future touched my past
Now I feel so blessed 'cause he gave me a rest
And I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be like him, yes that's my goal
Like a rock that doesn't roll
