That is the sort of knee-jerk response that can be expected of the sorts of mentalities who were being addressed in 1 Cor.3:1-4.
My post went right over your head.
Not so.
The if/then statement that I addressed was incorrect. Simple as that, I just colored up my response.
Name me any Christian more mature than the Apostle Paul to whom God gave the revelation of the mystery of Christ, the One Body of Chrst with Jew and Gentile being one in Christ.
Paul was mature enough for God to send to the Gentiles with His message of salvation.
Paul spoke in tongues and encouraged others to do the same.
The fact is that when one actually believes and is saved and then believes what Paul wrote, speaking in tongues as well as word of knowledge, faith, miracles, healings, etc are available to the believer.
That is the mark of a saved Believers vs saved a non believer.
Jesus said that those who believed on him would do the same works that he did and greater.
Those that believe can and those that don't don't.
If you've never spoke in tongues, received word knowledge word of wisdom, discerning of spirits, worked a miracle or a healing, etc, then you are not a Believer.
It is just that simple.
Believe it or not.
