The Gift of Tongues

'[tongues] is a gift that can be used to edify the spirit even as the mind is bypassed.' Mark J. Cartledge, The Gift of Speaking in Tongues.
I wonder if this 'bypassing of the mind' has had an effect on Charismatic attitudes to formal theology: if God can be known without intellectual engagement then why bother with academic study!
