Bible Question:
Can every Christian or any Christian speak tongues? I went to church with a friend and the preacher asked everyone to speak in tongues and the majority of the people broke out in "tongue"? I was taught that the gift of tongues was a spiritual gift and that not all people possess all gifts. |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... 1 Cor 14:27 "If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret" ... It is VERY clear that only one speaks at a time, and someone must interpret between. Speaking all at once, is NOT God's way. Note that Satan does this. Read the context ... chapters 12-14. You are correct ... no one has all the gifts and no gift is possessed by everyone (1 Cor 12:8-10, 28-30). |
