Bible Note: 2 Tim.2:15, I had a little trouble following your reasoning and sentence structure:-) If I'm understanding you correctly, your main point and question(?) revolves around 1 Cor.12:30: "All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?" The Greek grammar demands a negative answer to these questions! So, the answer to "do all speak in tongues?" is, NO. You state "I would propose that a true believer has the ability whenever he comes in contact with a demon possessed individual to cast it out 2) that we should all speak with tongues " Well, that may be your "opinion" and what YOU propose, however it conflicts with the grammar and thereby clear statement of scripture that not all speak with tongues! How do you reconcile this seeming contradiction? As I understand it, 1 Corinthians 13 and 14 are not so much an endorsement of tongues, but a corrective to the overall misuse of the Spiritual gifts.
