Looking at I Cor 12 - 14 again. "Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? (I Cor 12:29-30).
Do all speak with tongues?
But tongues are a sign - To unbelievers By believers
"Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not:" "And these signs shall follow them that believe; ...they shall speak with new tongues; (I Cor 14:22 and Mark 16:17)
Any believer can be given this gift. The question mark in v 30 causes confusion imo. Not every believer will be used in the manifestation of the spiritual gift of tongues with interpretation.
There are numerous purposes for speaking in tongues including magnifying the Lord in worship. But believers can refuse this gift of course. Is that what v 30 means?
