text: is speaking in tongues still in use? is the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues still in use? i know people use it incorrectly a lot today. 1 corinthians 14: 27 and 28 says "if anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28if there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and god." it's not supposed to be a big yammer fest (1 corinthians 4:23 so if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand[g] or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?) there is an orderly way to do it. but someone told me that the spiritual gifts of healing, miracles, and tongues and interpretation of tongues are not still in use. i am confused because the bible says all spiritual gifts will be abolished when christ returns...not before. if anyone can shed some light on this for me i would appreciate it. please back up what you say with scripture...thank you! go to any large pentecostal church on any given sunday, large women in the floor, amongst others.  big hair sweaty and stringing down into plumb red faces.  several of the same people are weekly inspired to speak, others never, or only after they have been urged to repent, repent, repent (they like to say it 3 times), and then speak, speak, speak.  if this isn't action enough for you, then attend a revival meeting, in a large tent in the south, if possible.  whoa, then you see some tongues being spoken.
