(Nova;20835)
Let's look at the passage in Acts & those in 1Cor separately for a minute. Overall, I think this was a one time event in the past. But if I ever found myself, in a land where English isn't spoken. It would be a useful gift to have. And God may yet, have need that this reoccurs in the future.
I advise you to get to know the scriptures a bit better . . . in Acts 10:44-46 when the gentiles speak in tongues in front of Peter (who doesn't know languages, he's just an unlearned fisherman), it was described as the SAME as at Pentecost (Acts 11:14-18)Similarly in Acts 19.(Nova;20835)
Moving forward to the passages in 1Cor. In 1Cor 12, he mentions the various gifts. And it is clear that not every Christian has the same gifts. . . .My hunch . . .
In fact it says "to ONE is given .. . wisdom, to another .. . knowledge .. . faith .. tongues" (12:8-12)Do you believe that only one/some christians get knowledge, faith etc too?Or is this passage not referring to what different people get when they become christians?
