This episode brought the text 1 Cor. 14 to the table again with further discussion of the public vs.private use of tongues as a means of prayer and the purpose thereof.  The question was raised if this is a gift that God chooses some to have and others not?  The answer is there is a difference between a devotional (private) tongue and a tongue used in public worship as a manifestation of the Spirit. Another question posed was is this the only way to birth or construct a church?  If speaking in tongues is the door to the supernatural and God desires us to walk in this realm so that He can manifest or give expression through a body (church/individual), can we then assume it is necessary?  The short answer is you can do anything in faith and that is produced through the new birth or born again experience and the renewed mind using the Word of God to direct but this is sometimes a lengthier process.  Romans 8:26 is a reference that guides us in our prayer life and the will of God.  Yes, God desires to construct His Church in the spirit according to His design and purpose.
