Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. —1 Corinthians 14:39

Is everyone supposed to speak in tongues? What are the differences among “new tongues,” “other tongues,” “kinds of tongues,” and “unknown tongues”? Does the gift of prophecy always contain predictions about the future?

Here are answers to the most often asked questions concerning tongues, interpretation, and prophecy. Topics include:

• The difference between gifts and ministries


• The difference between spiritual gifts and mankind’s talents


• The difference between praying in tongues and speaking in tongues


• Modern examples of speaking in tongues


• When to interpret tongues


• The gift of prophecy

Don Basham also discusses why so many Spirit-baptized Christians experience only the gift of speaking in tongues and why they do not move on into other gifts.
