BUt, as I said, I won't discuss that here, it's a thread hijacker. I'll start another thread, maybe!

It's not an assumption.
If you believe those who speak in tongues or those who prophecy when they receive the Spirit are receiving the GIFT of tongues and/or prophecy then my question is legit. Why did God take the gift of tongues away from me?
On the other hand if you believe that everyone speaks in tongues when they receive the Holy Spirit and that this experience is truly different than the gift of tongues spoken of in Corinthians then it would explain why Paul asks the rhetorical question, do all speak in tongues?, in the context of the gifts of the Spirit and why I no longer speak in tongues.
Why would you distinguish the gift of tongues being used to speak a message to the church and the gift of tongues being used to edify in prayer? Paul doesn't make that distinction in Corinthians....it is the same gift used in two different settings. Just as there are differences of administration of the gift of healing.
