Questions and Answers: What is the difference between tongue and tongues? Are they the same or different?

 

You are born again into the Church and out of the world so that you can grow. You grow as the Holy Spirit conforms you to the image of Christ, your Ministry in the Body of Christ. This is a process that goes from glory to glory. When everything is in complete unity with God's will and built according to God's Pattern as He gave it in Scripture, the Body and the Head (Jesus) will be joined as one totally complete man. This is the manifestation or the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Question:

What is the difference between tongue and tongues? Are they the same or different?  

Answer:

Thank you for your question.  There is no difference as Paul is talking about a tongue "For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh not to men, but to God" or tongues, "I would that ye all spake with tongues."  The difference is between the gift of tongues, the tongues of men, and the tongues of angels.  Every Christian can be filled with the Spirit and speak in the unknown tongues, the tongues of angels.  The gift of tongues, as with all gifts, is given by the laying on of hands of the presbytery and prophecy.  The gift of tongues allows a person who does not know a language to miraculously speak that language.  The gift of interpretation of tongues allows a person who does not know a language to be able to interpret that language miraculously.  These gifts don't seem to operate at the will of the person having the gift, but whenever God operates the gift in the person.  These are quite rare right now, but we can expect to see these restored just as prophecy was restored to the Church.
