DaRev.,
You are speaking against the Holy Spirit and the teaching of Apostle Paul. Paul wished every believer spoke in tongues, but not all do, he went on to say if you seek a gift, ask for prophecy, but he wished all could pray in tongues.
Apostle Paul who was inspired by the Holy Spirit instructed the church to not use their gift of tongues unless someone could interpret the tongue in order of 3's to edify the church....but Paul also speaks of a tongue given to some believers for their edification
"14: 2 For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one ]understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.
4 One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church. 5 Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.
14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 15 What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.
18 I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all
Written by the apostle Paul, to the Corinthian church, 1 Corinth 14

I guess I will not be joining the Lutheran church for they teach against the bible. Sad, because I really liked what I have seen and read, then I ran across a Lutheran that did not believe all the gifts are for today....God does not change, it is the same Holy Spirit that indwells me as did Paul.
