Within this chapter, an issue arises with the command that tongues speakers, who do not have an interpreter present, should “keep silent in church.” This would lead to a strange conclusion that a tongue speaker is not allowed to sing or pray in normal speech.

At first I was surprised, this was my first time hearing the words “languages die”. I never knew that languages could just die, this was a subject that I was never taught in grade school.
