Well I have always felt a kindred spirit David, He and I seem to have a lot in comon we both have the same kind of love and joy in the Lord, we both have inner warriors inside us even though the giants of this world just see a weak little boy and even in my way of writing poems he and I are similar
Although I took a who are you in the bible personality test for fun but it said I was more like moses.

In my opinion, those who worry about doing the right things, because we tend to let our emotions at times get the best of us. Are in the right frame of mind for God. Things just make us so mad when we see our loved ones hurt because the Enemy has attacked them. I believe we can be used by God in ways others can never. Even though David was with Bathsheba, had Uriah killed, and had a baby out wedlock/Adultery, God STILL said he was a man after His own heart!
Acts 2 did. The principle here is to use clear scripture to interpret the vague ones.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
As for your second point, as I have said, this is a non-salvific issue so you could be right, I could be right, no big deal. (Romans 14:5)
If one believes that praying in tongues give him benefits than praying in ordinary language cannot provide, I am fine.
If nothing else, it has placebo benefits.

Well I think there may be more than one kind of tongues, there seems to be a tongues for intercession which is between you and God and thus requires no interpretations, there also seems to be a tongues for self edification also between you and God and then there seems to be tongues for the church or for other people in general which does require an interpreter

Which Bible Character Am I?
For 30% you are: So which Bible character are you the most like? You are Jacob! You were always Mum's favourite growing up, and you could pretty much get whatever you wanted from Dad. You have a knack for getting on well with people. Sometimes you're not entirely honest, though....

Your score wasn't clear.
You could also get this result:
For 30% you are: So which Bible character are you the most like? You are Peter! You are a natural leader, always with something to say, always ready to take charge. You're someone who can get things done. Sometimes you put your foot in your mouth, however....
Ha, I said I might be Peter, God's pain in the Butt hahahaha
I will definitely take Jacob, Abraham's grandson and who we call Israel. Plus he wrestled with the Angel (Jesus) in his dream. I can live with either choice!

Yeah it may not be a salvation issue but one thing for sure though is it shouldn't be dones in the wrong way, whenever I am in the presence of so called tongues I just get this uneasy feeling inside almost like a get the heck away from them kind. I have had similar situations like that from people claiming to be prophets.
Either way the gifts are toys for us to play with
