When I first started speaking in tongues, I asked God to show me what I was praying over. And He did. That led me to pray in my mind in english (my 2nd language) but with my lips in tongues. And I think that combination may be what Paul referred to as praying with your understanding and praying with the Spirit. They can be done at the same time.
TONGUES false teaching.

It's funny that Paul called tongues the least of the gifts, yet it is the only gift Paul wishes we all would do. I think that is because all the other gifts are thru us to benefit others, while tongues is the only one to edify the user. It indicates that after a long day of doing for others, tongues recharge us so we may continue doing for others without suffering total burnout.

Who are you to tell me or anyone else what type of mindset we should have when it comes to Christianity. As a matter Of fact who are you to tell me or anyone else our mindset is wrong. So tell me what makes your mindset right?? In reality most pastors practice what sermon they usually going to preach on Sundays hun. Trust me they don't go in blind sided dear.

No it wouldn't. It would be stepping out on faith.
Every other time someone wants something miraculous—healing, financial blessing, etc.—it's considered stepping put on faith. But when you bring up the subject of drinking deadly poison or something truly dangerous suddenly it becomes testing God. Why is that?

I'm entitled to my opinion, that what makes me so abrasive with my response, and I'm also entitle to not believe God told people to speak in a language that no one but that person understands. If a person can't explain to me what they're saying in tongue, how can I jump in joy with some mumble bumble mess. Cause that's what it is....a Mess
Yes in many places it does become a mess. That's why Paul wrote 1 Cor 14, to explain the proper place and time for it. One of those restrictions is that it is used for us to speak to God, not to each other. So if someone is speaking to you in a tongue, they are doing it incorrectly.
And I believe Paul would rather we not speak in tongues than do it incorrectly.
But Paul also said he wished we ALL would do it (altho it is perfectly ok not to). And not to forbid it.
Yes you are entitled to your opinion, that does not mean you get to get all up in arms at my opinion.
And scripture trumps both our opinions.
