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.
That is simply not accurate.
First of all, speaking in tongues is NOT a gift. The Greek word is pneumatikos which means 'matters of the spirit', not 'gifts of the spirit'.
Speaking in tongues is for the individual where as interpretation of tongues and prophesy are for the congregation. The 'best' gift is the one that is needed and will bless the most.
