Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Co 14:39) “Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.”  Why not forbid the use of tongues? Answer: The Holy Spirit might be prompting because of a lost person present in the assembly needing to hear. But remember, this chapter revealed the gift was the Spirit’s instrument to speak to the lost, not the saved. Prophecy was for ministering to the saved.
