Tongues and Interpretations in 1 Cor. 14

Brothers and Sisters:

Consider the following verses of Scripture...

If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by
three, and that by course; and let one interpret. But if there be no
interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to
himself, and to God. (1 Corinthians 14:27,28).


What do you all make of this?  As I stated in another message, it is
sometimes taught that messages in tongues should be given by at least two
but no more than three individuals before an interpretation is given.
Accordingly, the interpretation should be given by only one individual.
Does anyone agree?  Disagree?

I find it interesting that Paul even took the time to address the issue.
Apparently there was a need for him to do so, or he would not have done it.
Could it have been that some were offering tongues/interpretations that
were out of line?  Could we sometimes be guilty of this today?
