Consider this regarding modern "tongues"...

26What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.27If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret;28but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.29Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.30But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent.31For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted;32and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets;33for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.


...that one section negates 99% of modern tongue speaking congregations...

A Tip For You:

Let me give you an invaluable tip! I've found something that money can't buy and I want to share it with you. I've usually been content with my life. But one day I was brought face-to-face with a serious matter. It was a simple statement from the bible: "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36)


I had always felt that I was a decent sort of person, and that when I died God would give me a place in Heaven. So this new truth was shocking! Certain sins began to stand out in my mind and I knew I had never been forgiven. But, in reading the Bible, I came across some marvelous promises: "God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8), and the words: "As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name" (John 1:12).

When I understood that Jesus died for me, I received Him as my Savior. And as the Bible promised, God forgave my sins and gave me eternal life.

Now here's my tip to you: you too can receive Christ. Your sins can be forgiven and you can have eternal life! Why not start reading the Gospel of John today? In it you will discover how Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose form the grave to offer you salvation. If you could work for a million years you'd never be able to buy this wonderful new life that God freely offers to you.
