Bro. Chris. 
     I believe stonglly in tongues and interp. and have at one time or
another been used in all the gifts. I guess what I was trying to say is,
I have noticed many people in pentecost get all wrapped up in gifts and
enamored by someones healing ministry. I've even seen folks follow a man
used in the gifts around the country. Signs and wonders are supposed to
follow us . We're not supposed to follow them.Really the gifts should be
an everyday occurance in our services. They were every day with Jesus.We
need to stop looking for some man of faith and power and be that
man/woman ourselves. The Lord is looking for laborers in the harvest not
hero's.The only person that should be exalted is Jesus Christ.      
Really tongues are the least of all the gifts. The Lord that gave each of
his servants talents , one ,two ,and three. required more to be added.
Everyone when they are born again recieves a talent ( Holy Ghost) and
this needs to be added to  for and increase. The Gift of tongues is the
least addition. not the only.addition.
