Tongues as a Prayer Language: Can you support speaking in tongues as a prayer language with scripture? [I Corinthians 14:23, I Corinthians 14:1-5, I Corinthians 14:26-28, Jude 1:20]. Tongues Limited to 2-3: Is the limit of 2-3 that are allowed to speak in tongues meant for us today, or was it meant to be more specific to a particular congregation? [I Corinthians 4:14:27].
