Intro to 1 Corinthians/ Lesson 1

Lesson one is speaking about the culture and religion of Corinth during the time of the Apostle Paul. i believe there is a major misunderstanding of spiritual gifts and their uses. Many believe the true gift of tongues is in operation in modern day Pentecostal churches. I believe by examining this letter carefully in chapter 14, this was not the true gift of tongues as we see in Acts 2:1-4 but a counterfeit. (Pagan glossolalia). which explains why in Acts 2 they understood the languages and in chap 14 they did not. i believe what many are speaking today is gibberish or ecstatic speech. Some of these manifestations are the flesh while others are clearly demonic.
