"It is simple. Not all speak in tongues because God doesn't give the gift to everyone." ____________________ '1 Cor. 12:29-30, "Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?" 'We can see that the Holy Spirit gives gifts as He desires. He distributes them upon His people in the church as He wills (1 Cor. 12:11). It states in 1 Cor. 12:7-11 that different people have different gifts and we see in verses 29-31 that not all speak in tongues. Now, the Oneness person will state that all are supposed to speak in tongues, but that not all do. They maintain that speaking in tongues is a necessary sign gift of true salvation and that a true believer will speak in tongues. But, that is not what the text says. 'Paul asks the questions: Are all apostles? No. Are all prophets? No. Are all teachers? No. In other words, within the body of Christ, different people are called by God to have different gifts. If someone states that all are supposed to speak in tongues, but that not all do, then are all supposed to be apostles as well but not all are? Are all called to be prophets? Are all called to be teachers? No. Likewise, not all are called by God to speak in tongues. 'It is simple. Not all speak in tongues because God doesn't give the gift to everyone.' (The article quoted here "is not dealing with the issue of whether or not the charismatic gifts are still in operation, but will assume for this paper that they are.'")

Kalos, Exactly right. And I have seen in those places where they literally try to pound the Holy Spirit into a believer. terrib |
