Own words
Quoted in full, because Dennis J. Bennett died in 1991 and these works are out of copyright. Each citation below names its edition and its year. A citation naming a modernised text means that edition makes its own editorial changes, and that edition's terms are not in this site's record.
“The gift of tongues is a freeing of the personality in expressing one's self more profoundly, particularly toward God, even though the symbols are not understood by the speaker. It does not happen in a trance.”
Religion: Speaking in Tongues, Time (15 August 1960), page 2 of the online article, 1960
The rest of the quotation
The person is releasing something deeper than the ordinary symbols of language.
1 Corinthians 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit. BSB
