Also, to pray in tongues is to cultivate the Spirit against the flesh.

Perhaps not necessary; but I would say certainly of benefit (see 1 Corinthians 14:22).

Which of the gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 no longer remain? And what is your criteria for saying that they don't? No. Sufficient means that it is capable of ministering to the body of Christ; that it is all we need. However, this is not to say that we can't be benefited by the...
