*TONGUES* (VI)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."* (Ephesians 4:11-12)
_Bible Insight:_
What exactly does Paul mean by the statement/question-- “Do all speak in tongues?"
The context of this Chapter is the body of Christ. The breakdown above is speaking to functions.
Hence, he begins with apostles, prophets, teachers which are ministry gifts then miracles, gifts of healings, tongues and interpretation which are spiritual gifts.
So the clear answer here will be "No".
In the body of Christ, all do not have the function in the body to be apostles, prophets, workers of miracles and speakers of tongues.
Don’t miss this .
All do not have the same function! This is because Paul is speaking clearly as regards MINISTRY. For when we see Paul speak functionally about the body of Christ he refers to ministry function.
*"And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone"* (Eph 2:20)
All don’t have the same function ministerially but note this. Everyone can manifest spiritual gifts if they DESIRE IT.
*"But covet earnestly the best gifts."* 1 Cor 12:31
_MEDITATION:_
*Everyone can manifest spiritual gifts if they DESIRE IT."*
