Things could get pretty wild at the worship services in the first century church in the city of Corinth. In chapter fourteen the apostle Paul says to them,

1Corinthians 14:23   Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind?

Other translations say things like, “Won’t they think you are crazy” (CEV), “will they not say that you are demented” (AV), and “will they not say the ye are mad” (KJV).

Madness was unacceptable to Paul. It was not compatible with the Christian faith. It was unworthy of Jesus Christ. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)
