Singing in the spirit is equivalent to a believer praising the Lord by singing in tongues. In the same manner that we honor Him with natural song, we adore Him through spiritual song when we sing in the spirit. Singing in the spirit allows the believer to enter a deeper kind of worship, which is the only distinction between the two types of worship. My spirit prays when I pray in a tongue, but my comprehension is ineffective. So what is the conclusion? Along with praying with understanding, I shall also pray with the spirit. In addition to singing with intelligence, I shall also sing with spirit. It should be noted that throughout 1 Corinthians 14:14–15, Paul interchangeably refers to speaking in tongues and singing in the spirit. “Because my spirit prays if I pray in a tongue,” he says.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, and giving thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. And do not drink wine, which is poisonous; instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
