'The Spiritual Gifts Are For The Church.'
1 Corinthians 14:5.
a) Apostle Paul would like all members of the Corinthian Church to have the Spiritual Gift of Speaking in other languages.
b) But, even more, to have the Gift of Prophecy.
c) Those people who prophesy are more helpful than those people who speak in other languages.
d) If the Gift of speaking in other languages is accompanied by the interpretation of that gift, then it is acceptable.
(This QT reminds me that The Spiritual Gifts Are For The Church and not for me)

'Unselfish Believers.'
Philippians 2:4.
a) None of us.
b) Should just look after our own good.
c) Should look after only our own interests.
d) We should also look after the good of other people.
e) We should also look after the interests of other people.
(This Second one gives me the desire to be an Unselfish Believer)

Chris.
The Spiritual Gift of speaking in other languages in the Church normally causes much controversy, why? I believe if we go back to the clear Teachings of Apostle Paul in the New Testament that there would be more clarity and the controversy can be "cleared up". The reason for the controversy is that we have sometimes wandered away from the clear teachings of 1 Corinthians chapters 12, 13 and 14.
