P. Tongues

P. Tongues: The ability or anointing to speak a divinely-inspired message to the Christian Body in a language (whether earthly or angelic) which one has never learned. I Cor. 14 provides several clear restrictions regarding its use. For example, though Paul preferred its public use to benefit the Body, he did condone its private use (vs. 28, 39). I Cor.12:10, 28-30; I Cor. 14 // Acts 2:1-13, 10:44-46; 19:1-7.
