For those that believe tongues is still operational today (and for those cessationists who have asked the same question), what is the substance of the gift and how is to be practiced?
Is the gift revelation from God, or is it private expression through a known language (whether human or angelic)?
If the gift is revelation from God, how does it not usurp scripture?
Does the practice of the gift require an interpreter? If so, how is the interpreter validated as accurate?
If it is a private prayer language, how does it prevent creating a caste system with the church? The haves and the have nots.
Lastly, how would a reformed continualist reconcile his continualist view with confessionalism?
