Subject: Spiritual Gifts |
Bible Note: What the Paul is saying is that not everyone has the "Gift of Tongues". These individuals can speak at will and the Spirit is subject to them. The individual that receives the gift of the Holy Ghost, also speaks in other tongues at the filling. This do not mean they have the "Gift of Tongues" but that they have indeed received the "Holy Ghost (Spirit) You see this in the book of Acts. This is not subject to the individual. This is the Baptism of the Spirit or born of the Spirit, that Jesus spoke of. Paul is instructing those with the gift of tongues on how to behave in service and even gives the reason why. Who can instruct God on when to Baptise someone with the Holy Ghost? Hope this helps. |
