Subject: Tongues speaking selfish w/o interteper? |
Bible Note: "So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church" (1 Cor 14:12). Tim, I think I have Scriptural support. Also, as I read chapter 12 there were problems with people and their view on gifts. If I don't exercise my gifts, the church suffers. We need all the gifts, else the church would be incomplete. If I am into self edification (not for the church), am I selfish? Searcher |
