Subject: I desire the gift of tongues how 2receiv |
Bible Note: Though God does say we are to aspire to the best gifts, it does not mean that we must aspire solely to just and only the first gift on the list. Nor does it mean that we will never be able to receive more than just one of those gifts. I would simply not do spiritualy, either, to accuse one persone of not having one of those gifts as being not in the Holy Ghost, nor would it be more ok spiritually to accuse one pesonne who may demonstrate having many of the gifts as being "more into the Holy Ghost". Because, it is written in 1Co 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 1Co 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 1Co 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh, with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. 1Co 14:12 Even so ye, for as much as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 1Co 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 1Co 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 1Cor. 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all 1Co 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. It is wrong for one persone to have one gift and then to accuse his bretheren of not having it. But there is nothing wrong in praying and edifying one's bretheren in Christ to aspire to a gift: Rom 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Rom 15:2 Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification. Rom 15:3 For even Christ pleased not himself but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. |
