Baptism in Holy Spirit cont.

Just a really short summary here... ...
1 Cor 12; Paul is talking about the different workings in the church. After baptism in the Holy Spirit, all can speak in tongues but however not all are appointed to function in the ministry gifts of tongues. - for the edification of the church.
The Bible makes a clear distinction between 2 different words, the dorea(gk.) 'gift' and charisma 'gift'.
In 1 Cor 12, the 'gift' of tongues is referring to the charisma 'gift' and with interpretation, their purpose is to edify the body of Christ. All believers can receive the dorea 'gift' if they desired it.
Although we can speak in tongues after we are baptised in the Holy Spirit, we may not be given the charisma gift of tongues by the Spirit for the edification of the church. (That's what 1Cor 12:30 is talking about)
We can use this dorea gift of tongues as our 'prayer language' for personal edification and for God to hear. Only He needs to understand.

Probably, i will write about how to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit in my next update.
