Praying in the Holy Spirit (Jude 20) needs to be distinguished from praying in the human spirit.
Some experts claim that speaking in tongues is for evangelisation purposes only, as witnessed in Acts 2, but in Jude 20 is it done for building one’s faith. In Ephesians 6:18 he relates in to prayers of petition. Paul states in the inerrant word of God that speaking in tongues is edifying (1 Cor 14:4). These unbelievers tend to refer to psychological principles to nullify this word of God. Speaking in tongues is reduced to ‘babbling nonsense’ and the resulting edification experienced is the result of a trick by the mind and subsequently learned behaviour.
Paul speaks with ‘the tongues of men and of angels’ (1 Co 13:1), but experts demand understanding. That raises the question of where these self-proclaimed experts have learned the language of angels, so they can confidently diminish most unheard biblical utterances of believers. These incoherent babblers lack empirical evidence and are scripturally illiterate!
Words of knowledge and words of wisdom are gifts of the Holy Spirit, but to convey the interpretation a language spoken by angels and men prophesying seems to be beyond the capabilities of God. This is evidence of the dogma of Limited Omnipotence raising its ugly head again.
In the church I prefer to speak five words with my mind, in order that I may instruct other people, than ten thousand words in a tongue (1 Cor. 14:19). But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all, the secret things of his heart become evident, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you (1 Co 14:24–25).
An unbeliever worshipping God is only bad to biblically illiterates and Godless fools! Abominable and rigidly adhered to ceremonies don’t produce that result, as the Holy Spirit is totally locked out.
Furthermore theses cessationist ‘churches’, which are either totally apostate or well on the path to apostasy, will not ‘let two or three prophets speak, and the others evaluate’ (1 Cor 14:29). These asylums are obsessed with their self-image, which expresses itself in opulent churches, fancy dress, elaborate liturgical rituals and especially hierarchical control. Most proud radicalised inmates view born-again believers as morally corrupt, simple fundamentalists.

This is a word from the Lord.
