Tom Davis says that in his church, where there are 400-500 members, only 6 speak in tongues and 6 interpret. Have you ever asked yourself, Tom, why it's always the same 12 people?!?! Mark P.S. Is there anyone at "uw-beaver!ssc-vax" who isn't a religious fanatic?

As to why it is always the same half-dozen or so that speak in tongues and interpret, I can only quote the Apostle Paul "All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills." 1 Cor. 12:11(RSV). The Words of Prophesy also tend to come from a regular group, of perhaps 20 or so, and the Healing gift seems to be in another group. As to the religious background on the users at the ssc-vax, I know of three Christians; David, myself, and an Episcopal Preist (who probably gets some good chuckles out of all this). I'm sure there are other religions represented.
