Paul was speaking to the church at Corinth! Teaching on the usage or regulating of the gifts in this church.

Most people confuse the tongues that occurred at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost with the babel that goes on in most churches today. The tongues on Pentecost was not ecstatic utterances and stammered syllables that we hear most often today, it was ACTUAL human languages given at a time when many languages were gathered together so that the message could be HEARD and UNDERSTOOD in each listeners native language.
I do believe in the gift of unknown tongues, the tongue of men and angels and I do believe that it is a gift, but I do not believe that it is and I further find no BIBLICAL PROOF that it is essential to Salvation.
How can anyone repent unless the Spirit draw him? How can the Spirit draw him if He doesn't take up residence until after someone has "tarried" and begged to receive Him??
We need to take a look at what we teach, we need to Study to shew ourselves approved and quit preaching something just because its all we have ever been taught, We are APOSTOLIC, we need to get back to APOSTOLIC doctrine and leave the rest alone!!!
