Gifts again :)
God, you're awesome.
Okay...let's look at this...prophesying vs. speaking in tongues. it is better to make a prophecy than to speak in tongues because it helps the church while speaking in tongues is confusing and not helpful at all. makes sense.
"For this reason, anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says."
then there is something about the spirit and the mind. and how both need to be fruitful. ohhhh is it something along the lines that if you are really worshiping, singing, speaking out of the spirit, how can you not know through your mind? but then how does the Holy Spirit "work" through you and some people claim they had no idea what they were saying?
"Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults."
This was brought up to me lately and it's been on my mind. We are to be like children to enter the kingdom of God: humble. However, we are to think like adults. Reasoning, thinking, obeying as adults.
Unbelievers. OHHHHH tongues show unbelievers God's power. prophecy shows BELIEVERS God's way. so everyone has different gifts, to cover all the bases. I think...
cause then the last verses goes "if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand come sin while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship god, exclaiming, "God is really among you!"" So does that mean it's still better to prophesy? hmmm
