Bible Question: Spiritual Gifts- speaking in tongues. A lady I know believes that if you can't speak in tongues, you are not saved. What is everybody's take on this? I don't think it sounds right, but haven't really read enough about it yet to be sure. |
Bible Answer: Ask Is speaking in tongues a spiritual gift? If no ... Then what is it ... It is not of God? If yes ... Is speaking in tongues a spiritual gift according to 1 Cor 12:10? If no ... What is the Biblical support is it a spiritual gift? If yes ... Are we all suppose to speak in tongues, contrary to verses 14-20, 29 (and between)? Note the gift of speaking in tongues is - ONE if the spiritual gifts and not everyone has it. - God/ the Holy Spirit decides who gets it (verses 11, 18, 28) - It is listed last. Note many churches DO NOT follow 1 Cor 14. They all pray - speak out loud together |
