Subject: sheila, why pray for a lesser gift? |
Bible Note: Scripture ... 1 Cor 12:28 And God has appointed in the church, FIRST apostles, SECOND prophets, THIRD teachers, THEN miracles, THEN gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. 29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? 30 All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? 31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way. Tim, I believe there are errors on both extremes on this issue. That is why we need to look carefully at Scripture, first ... as well as the historical context. If tongues is not a lesser gift, why is it listed last or next to last (even in verses 8-10), with the words FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, THEN and another THEN. I think you are aware of the pagan temple's influence of babbling and calling it tongues. Searcher |
