What part of receiving what God gives, do you see chasing in?

Tongues. The overwhelming majority is seeking after that and encouraging others to seek after that.

The Spirit gives them INDIVIDUALLY as HE wills.

1 Corinthians 12:11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

How about letting God be God and letting HIM decide what is best for each individual believer to have for a spiritual gift? Our only seeking should be to determine what gift it is which God has imparted to us, not to seek the showy gifts for a sign.

My point is why do you say seek when God gives?

The Spirit gives them INDIVIDUALLY as HE wills.

I just said that in my previous post to you. And here it is.. Who taught you that we are to chase after Gifts? He GIVES to each one differently. God knows BEST ALL the time.

How about letting God be God and letting HIM decide what is best for each individual believer to have for a spiritual gift? Our only seeking should be to determine what gift it is which God has imparted to us, not to seek the showy gifts for a sign.

How about you read my posts first OR did you learn something from my posts and now repeating what I said back to me? You kept saying SEEKING and I corrected you with God GIVES according to HIS WILL and purpose.

Gee, and you speak of chaos!
