The Bible mentions two kinds of tongues in 1 Cor.13:1: a. "tongues of men" ethnic languages with an interpretation; (spoken to men). b. "tongues of angels" devotional heavenly tongues, "speak mysteries in the Spirit" to God; (1 Cor.14:2).
2) Rom.8:26-27: Speaking in tongues enhances your prayer life. "We do not know how to pray as we should…the Spirit Himself intercedes with groanings…."
1 Cor.14:14 "If I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays…" (the mind doesn't comprehend)
When we are being tempted, attacked, or just confused, speaking in tongues is a powerful weapon.
As we speak "mysteries" directly to God, even the demons do not understand!
3) Eph. 5:18-19: "spiritual songs" means singing in tongues.
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit enhances your ability to worship. Jn.4:24 : Worship in spirit and truth.
