In his sermon 'Order in Worship,' David Green emphasizes the importance of maintaining order and clarity in worship services. He insists that any speaking in tongues or performances in foreign languages must be accompanied by interpretation to ensure they are edifying for the congregation. Green highlights that while Baptist churches may not frequently encounter issues of disorder, situations with visiting missionaries performing in their native languages can arise. He acknowledges that while such performances may be perceived as charming, they fail to contribute to the congregation's edification if not translated. Green reiterates that without interpretation, such practices break the law of God concerning orderly worship.

He says, it's got to be by two or three and let there be a translator. If there's not that, then you just need to shut up. There's no room for babbling in the worship of God. There's no room for confusion. There must be order.

Now, as I said before, I'll say it again. In Baptist churches, we don't run into this sort of thing, but every once in a while, we do have visiting missionaries. And oh, they're so cute. The missionary comes with his family and he's trying to drum up support. So he brings all of his family, his wife, all their little children up to the front and they sing a song in their language that they speak on the field and that's all cute and everybody says oh that's so wonderful and they amen we don't clap because we're Baptists can't do that but we'll amen and we'll say oh that's so cute.

But if there's no interpretation, what edification has it been for the church? Without an interpreter, without a translation, we've broken the law of God here for orderly worship.
