Speaking in Tongues?

Okay, so this thing about speaking in tongues. What does it actually mean? To me it is the argument of baby. babble, booble. It sounds like gibberish. Speaking in tongues to me is speaking in a foreign language, like Spanish, or something. I am too tired to finish this blog, so here goes the copy and paste:
I can understand it as speaking another language. I definitely don't think that it is this understanding of what seems to be gibberish. If others can't understand you how is it worshipful? I understand speaking in tongues as speaking in a language. The very passage that says that the tongues must cease if no one is there to translate would seem to indicate that you are simply speaking another language than the normal language of the congregation. An example of my understanding would be speaking Spanish in an English congregation. Obviously if no one is there to translate the talking into English it would be useless. I don't think that speaking in tongues in the way that current denominations talk about it is actually the way that it is actually talked about in the Bible. If you are not talking in your native tongue then you are speaking in another tongue. Wow, I guess that makes my argument.

Good enough.

I will say this in English, so no translation should be necessary....Merry Christmas!
