Hello Ladies!
This is my first thread!! So what better place than here in the Christian Forum.
I was just talking to a friend of mine about the different Gifts of the Spirit. Her belief is that the only evidence of having the Holy Ghost is speaking in tongues. My understanding and what I have always been taught is that speaking in tongues is not the only evidence. And that operating in the other Gifts of the Spirit is also evidence of having the Holy Ghost. From my own study my understanding is that the gift we all should desire is the gift of Prophecy as stated by Paul in I Corinthians Ch 14. My understanding is also that the Holy Spirit administers gifts as He sees fit, and not based on our own desires. But we can pray and ask Him for certain gifts.
What is your belief or understanding about this particular gift?
