1 Corinthians 12-14
I believe the gift of tongues has been withdrawn along with the gifts of prophecy (foretelling, not "forth telling"), miracles, and healing. If they have not been withdrawn, where are the prophets that will add to the perfect ("completed") revelation of the Bible? Why do we have hospitals today? Why do missionaries (including the tongue speakers) have to undergo language study?
The gift of tongues is not the "best" gift according to the Apostle Paul. In the zeal of many to covet the "not-the-best" gifts, they lose the gift of COMMON SENSE.
