In conclusion, even when tongues was in operation it was considered the least of all the gifts. Yes, the least, but even the least of the gifts from our loving God shouldn't be impuned.

There are a number of gifts no longer in operation also, such as healing and prophecy (foretelling the future).

Tongues served its purpose and is no longer a legimate gift.

Tongues served its purpose and is no longer a legimate gift. There are no scriptures to back that up.

Poor conjecture based on misinterpretations of scritpure.

Romans 11:29 "For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable."

Tongues won't pass away until knowledge passes away, and that won't occur until Christ returns.

1 Cor 1:7 "Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed."
