28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 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? - 1 Corinthians 12
And as far as tongues....
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. - 1 Corinthians 14:39
Forbid not.... In other words don't disallow it. I would venture to say that when someone speaks in tongues it will be unique to that person. Nobody will speak in tongues like him.
In a church... Everyone's gift is unique. I go to churches with plenty of musical instruments. Nobody plays the piano, guitar, drum, they all have their unique style. And so... In church... Everyone comes together with their own unique gift and the church service turns out wonderful.
To say that everyone needs the same gift is like telling a royal orchestra that all they need is the percussion and the symphonies will turn out fine.
