The issue that just will not die

I recently suffered something of annoyance due to this very thing.

The majority of my friends practice a private prayer language whereas I do not. I recently got to know a nice young lady and became friends with her, and I think that maybe she may've been looking for something more than that. I considered this to be a good thing.

However, it never went anywhere due to tongues. She also practiced a private prayer language. This didn't bother me at all, and it wasn't a problem for me in any way. But the fact that I don't practice a private prayer language was a problem for her.

The "haves and have nots" mentality is rarely discussed. Tongues is lifted up as a super gift, when in reality, Paul did refer to it somewhat as a lesser gift.

Do you believe that speaking in tongues is available to Christians today?
