Abstract
"In 1 Cor 12:30, Paul poses the question, “Not all speak in tongues do they?,” in a grammatical form which invites his reader to respond with a firm negative. For many, that settles the question implied in the title, once and for all. Unfortunately, few issues are that easily dealt with. Some of my Pentecostal friends would immediately respond that by starting with 1 Cor 12:30 we have begun at the wrong place. It is implicit, they would say, from the narrative of Acts that Luke thought tongues was universally received as initial evidence of a Spirit-baptism promised to all believers. And Luke clearly belonged to the Pauline churches, at least in the general sense that he knew them well, and considered Paul as prominent among the apostles."
