I'm just saying that using the rare case of someone lacking a tongue to determine whether the Bible teaches the necessity of tongues is dangerous. I would be inclined to believe that there are some who are physically or mentally incapable of adhering to or obeying any criteria that any of us would believe is required by God. If that becomes the standard as opposed to the Word of God, we can quickly get to the point where nothing is necessary because there will always be a relatively rare minority that is incapable of performing it.

You weren't supposed to respond so fast, I wasn't through editing!!
Ah, yes, I agree with you here. I would also add that it is dangerous to suppose or reinforce a doctrine, on the basis of one special account, i.e., "Initial Evidence" doctrine due to one man without a tongue "speaking." Was anyone implying a standard from the anomaly you mentioned?
Sorry for sidetracking the thread! Nice pics!
