INDIVIDUAL MINISTRIES GIFTS:

Romans 12:6-8 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; {7} Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; {8} Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Hebrews 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

1 Peter 4:9-11 Use hospitality one to another without grudging. {10} As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. {11} If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Corinthians 12:4-6 Now there are diversities of gifts, (DIFFERENT) but the same Spirit. {5} And there are differences of administrations, (MINISTRY/SERVICES) but the same Lord. {6} And there are diversities of operations, (WORKINGS) but it is the same God which worketh all in all. (ENTIRE TRIUNITY GODHEAD GAVE GIFTS)

1 Corinthians 12:7-11 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. (CHURCH) {8} For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; {9} To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; {10} To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: {11} But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

1 Corinthians 12:27-31 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. {28} And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. {29} Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? {30} Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? {31} But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. (INDIVIDUAL AND CHURCH MINISTRY GIFTS) (LOVE OR CHARITY 1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-13)

1 Corinthians 13:1, 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. {13} And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

See my paper: "Love" DEFINITION OF LOVE; LOVE IN ACTION IS CHARITY; BIBLE LOVE CHAPTERS; EXAMPLES OF LOVE; LOVE COMMANDS for more information on this subject.

PROPHESY VERSUS TONGUES

1 Corinthians 14:1-40 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. (PROPHETS) {2} For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. {3} But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. {4} He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. (PROPHESY FORETELL FUTURE, EDIFIES, EXHORTS, & COMFORTS)

See my paper: "Holy Spirit Baptism" HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM BENEFITS ARE SHOWN. THE STEPS TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM ARE SHOWN for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Is the Baptism of Holy Spirit with the Evidence of Tongues of God or the Devil?" THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN SCRIPTURE INCLUDES TONGUES WHICH ARE FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD IN PRAYER for more information on this subject.

PROPHESY EQUAL TO TONGUES WITH INTERPRETATION

{5} I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

{6} Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? (PROPHET HAS REVELATION; TEACHER HAS KNOWLEDGE)

{7} And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? {8} For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? {9} So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. {10} There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. {11} Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. {12} Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

TONGUES WITH INTERPRETATION

{13} Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

See my paper: "God the Holy Spirit / Ghost Scriptures & Notes" SCRIPTURES & NOTES THAT SHOW THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD & A MANIFESTATION OF THE TRIUNITY GODHEAD for more information on this subject.

TONGUES NOT UNDERSTOOD

{14} For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. {15} What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. {16} Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? {17} For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

PAUL SPEAKS IN TONGUES, BUT PREFERABLE TO SPEAK WITH UNDERSTANDING

{18} I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: (PAUL SPOKE WITH GIFT OF TONGUES MORE THAN THEY IN HIS INDIVIDUAL MINISTRY) {19} Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. (PAUL IN HIS CHURCH MINISTRY HAD GIFT OF PROPHEST SPOKE IN UNDERSTAND LANGUAGE) {20} Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. {21} In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. (ISAIAH 28:11-12)
{22} Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. (LIKE THE APOSTLES ON PENECOST SPOKE FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN TONGUES) {23} If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? (FOR LANGUAGES THAT THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND) {24} But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: {25} And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. {26} How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

IN THE CHURCH, DO ALL IN ORDER WHEN YOU SPEAKS IN TONGUES OR WITH UNDERSTANDING

{27} If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. {28} But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. {29} Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. {30} If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. {31} For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. {32} And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. {33} For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

WOMEN NOT TO SPEAKS IN CHURCH

{34} Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. (GENESIS 3:16) {35} And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. {36} What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

CONCLUDING COMMENTS

{37} If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. {38} But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. {39} Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. {40} Let all things be done decently and in order.
