What is the diversity of tongues given by the Holy Ghost?

In the book of Acts and some of the epistles, the writers of the Bible describe a miraculous speaking in foreign languages, or "speaking in tongues." In the book of Acts, those so enabled by the Holy Spirit fluently spoke languages they had never learned or studied, in order to preach about Jesus to people who spoke another language, to praise God, or to prophesy. In his first letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul says "if I speak in the languages of men and of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." Because of this, some Christians believe that the gift of tongues also enables people to speak the languages of angels, whereas other Christians believe that Paul is using hyperbole, and that the gift of tongues only applied to human languages.

Do you have to give a gift back that was given to you?

There is no hard and fast rule, but generally it is considered polite to offer to return a gift if the giver later expresses a change of heart or indicates that they want it back. Ultimately, the decision to return a gift should consider the relationship between the giver and recipient and the circumstances surrounding the gift.


What is New Testament prophecy?

The verb "prophesy" means "to speak before" (from Greek pro, before, and phemi, to speak). The gift includes both the idea of foretelling and forthtelling, predicting the future and preaching. A prophet was God's mouthpiece: he spoke for God and gave His message. Sometimes that message was regarding the future. Other times it concerned the present, even the past, or simply doctrinal truth, but it was always God's message spoken forth. The gift is mentioned in all five New Testament lists (see chapter 2), but only a few New Testament prophets are mentioned. Agabus is one who had the gift. In Acts 11:27-28 he predicted a famine, and in Acts 21:10-11 he predicted Paul's coming sufferings, both of which came to pass as prophesied. (From this example it is clear that the gift of prophecy involved the ability to foretell as well as merely forthtell). Philip's daughters prophesied (Acts 15:32), but no details are given. Acts 13:1 mentions prophets and teachers in the Church at Antioch, although no details are given, nor does it say which men were prophets or which were teachers. Judas and Silas are designated prophets in Acts 15:32. Paul and the other apostles evidently had this gift as well (e.g., Acts 27:23-24).
