What Is Praying In The Spirit?

This is a subject that's been debated in the church for a while now. I didn't understand it myself till I saw it written in the Bible. Some say it's deep prayer while some say it's speaking in other tongues. This is what the Bible says.

[b][c=7700B2]1 Corinthians 14:15 (KJV) What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.[/c][/b]

The Bible says praying in the spirit is praying in other tongues.

How did your speaking in tongues come about?

@LadyGrace I'm still on but q babe in this. I sometimes feel the need to do it out of the blue and I allow the Holy Spirit to lead me. I don't yet know how to interpret and I'll sure to let you know when God gets me there. Can't wait 😊.

@Thandeka The main thing is you are growing in the Lord and that is good. And yes, anytime you speak in tongues it can only be through the leading of the Holy Spirit, nothing forced. So you are doing it right.

I have seen in some Churches were people try to teach others how to speak in tongue and that is completely unbiblical. That is what I am against. It is something that cannot be forced.

@LadyGrace I agree it's unbiblical for people to teach others to speak in tongues. It's not for the people to teach but for the Holy Spirit. The only thing people can do is teach others on the subject.

I was having this conversation with a lady from church just a few days ago. She was telling me that her daughter who goes to another church said her church members corrected her in the way she spoke in tongues. I told her plainly that it's unscriptural. I told her she should study her Bible so as not to be swayed to and fro by religiousity.
