- Why does Paul require tongues in the public gathering to be interpreted?
- On a personal level, how would you describe your own attitude towards the gift of tongues?
- How do we welcome and encourage the biblical use of the gift of tongues while avoiding the Corinthian error of elevating tongues to a level of superiority over and above other spiritual gifts?
