The gift of tongues is often referred to as a "message in tongues".[6] Practitioners believe that this use of glossolalia requires an interpretation so that the gathered congregation can understand the message, which is accomplished by the interpretation of tongues.[citation needed] There are two schools of thought concerning the nature of a message in tongues:

  • One school of thought believes it is always directed to God as prayer, praise, or thanksgiving but is spoken in for the hearing and edification of the congregation.[citation needed]
  • The other school of thought believes that a message in tongues can be a prophetic utterance inspired by the Holy Spirit.[7] In this case, the speaker delivers a message to the congregation on behalf of God.[citation needed]
