TEXT: I CORINTHIANS 14:13-25
TOPIC: THE GIFT OF PROPHECY AND SPEAKING IN TONGUES (II)

From Paul's dialogue, it appears that those who had the gift of speaking in tongues felt superior to others who possessed other gifts.

Speaking in tongues can be very sensational and strange to listeners. Sometimes you even hear people claim that they are speaking with the language of angels! Speaking in tongues is mostly useful as a sign, especially to unbelievers.

God gives His evangelists the ability to speak new languages they had never learned in order to take the message of salvation to the unreached. Prophecy is a gift meant for building the established church.

Today, some deceive believers that unless a person can speak in tongues, he or she cannot have salvation. But salvation is by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

QUESTION:
What is the relationship between salvation and spiritual gifts?

PRAYER: Appreciate God for your spiritual gifts and ask Him for specific ways in which you can use them for the benefit of the church where you fellowship.
