Bible Question: Is the gift of speaking in tongues necessary today since we have the completed written word? Are women suppose to speak in tongues? |
Bible Answer: Hi Arlene, This is an ongoing debate among the Church that can be debated but we should never divide over. Tongues are listed as one of many gifts of the Spirit mentioned in the Bible. See 1 Corinthians 13:1 may help you with this question. |
