A study from Vince Baker Ministries
What does the Bible teach about speaking in tongues?
Paul connects spiritual gifts with building up the Church. In First Corinthians 14 he discusses prayer, understanding, and interpretation, and he asks people to consider what others can receive in a gathering. Reading the chapter as a whole gives context to both personal devotion and public practice.
Prayer, Pentecost, and Building Up the Church
The quotes emphasize the practice’s place in a believer’s life. Paul also gives instructions for people worshiping together. As you reflect on the sayings, ask which setting you have in mind and what consideration for others would look like in that setting.
Put one quote into practice
Read Acts 2 and First Corinthians 14 alongside each other. Note the audience, what is understood, and how the gift serves the people present. Ask a trusted pastor about any difference between what you read and what you have experienced.
