Subsequent speaking in tongues brings enrichment to the individual believer when employed in private prayer ( 1 Corinthians 14:4) and to the congregation when accompanied by the interpretation ( 1 Corinthians 14:6,25). |
There is no power at repentance only... the Power comes with the Infilling of the Holy Ghost.. else Peter would have preached... when asked what must we do to be saved..
"Repent of your sins and that's it... God's Spirit is in you"...
