. . . DO WE PRAY AND SING IN ENGLISH AND IN UNKNOWN TONGUES?
If I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 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. I Corinthians 14:14-15 (KJ21)

Alleluia! Praise God in his Temple on earth . . . Praise Him with blasts of the trumpet, praise Him with lyre and harp, praise Him with drums and dancing, praise Him with strings and reeds, praise Him with clashing cymbals, praise Him with clanging cymbals! Psalm 150:1-6 (TJB)
. . . DO WE HAVE THIS TYPE OF WORSHIP?
The real believers are the ones the Spirit of God leads to work away at this ministry, filling the air with Christ’s praise as we do it. We couldn’t carry this off by our own efforts, and we know it. Philippians 3:3 (MSG)

Each person is given something to do that shows who God is . . . The variety is wonderful: wise counsel, . . . healing the sick, . . . tongues, interpretation of tongues. (I Corinthians 12:7-10 (MSG)
