I know you have been shown a thousand times already.... in various ways.
It's become like the LGBQ sect of Christianity...
Reasoning won't work.
What I say is not to convert you.
It is for others who see the insanity and wonder if they are alone and wonder why it exists.
The following is about unbelievers. Unregenerate.
But, who will show great acts of invisible power done while using the name of Jesus!
The power must be coming from somewhere else.
Please note -
Pharaoh's magicians also had power to perform miracles....
Go have your fun.

"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
On that day many (not a few) will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name,
and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Matthew 7:21-23

My Scripture tells me God is the same, yesterday, today and forever and what He does for one, He will do for another.

People want to ignore the obvious and proclaim tongues isn't beneficial to the one speaking in tongues.
Paul wrote, the One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself.
There's no mention of this ever ending because it has a purpose which Paul said,
For the one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

Interesting Biblical fact...
Shittim is a large area in the plains of Moab directly across from Jericho, immediately east of the Jordan and north of the Dead Sea. Shittim is significant in Israel’s history because it is the site of the last encampment of the nation at the end of the wilderness wanderings just before crossing the Jordan into the Promised Land.
We are now to be in the Promised land.

Witches enjoy speaking in tongues.
Tibetan monks also find it edifying.
Likewise...
When tongues was an active gift in the early church age, it helped stabilize some who had not yet access to all the riches of the NT that was awaiting to be revealed.
It is not complicated.
But, then. It must be that way as long as we live in the Devil's world.
It is a matter of Truth over human emotional desire.
In Christ.....

1 corinthians 14L39 So, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. are we to assume he was only speaking to the jews in this? Because it is the word of God and if it is written then it is for us to follow not some of the word of God not most of it all of it otherwise it is not his word because his word is to be taken in reverence and respect as if law
he goes on to speak on the gifts as well throuout the chapter and the one before that one too neither chapters indicate they were not for our benefit

1 Corinthians 14:37
If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, let him acknowledge that what I am writing you is the Lord’s command.
1 Thessalonians 5:19-20
Do not extinguish the Spirit. / Do not treat prophecies with contempt,
…38But if anyone ignores this, he himself will be ignored
See it is easy to take scripture and make it say what we want this is why without context it is dangerous to build a belief on single verse you pull out of the chapter.
I can easily take bits and pieces of scripture and speak that way but as you can see that is simple to do but not the correct way of handling his word. ion the same manner we cannot also say this is for today and this is not because the word does not say that it says to earnestly seek such gifts as prophecy or tongues several times I might add in several of the books

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
When the Millennium ends, final Judgement has been completed, every soul in their eternal destination, there will be no need for prophecies because they will all have been completed, no need for tongues because we will all speak the Heavenly Language, no need for knowledge because we will know EVERYTHING.
However, LOVE, the Love of God will never ever end.

And besides it is the word of God you cannot just dismiss it because you think it was for a specific group or time that is throwing the word of God out the window we can pick and choose what to believe concerning it we can decide that it isn't speaking to us because it fits our narrative.
This is the issue with the word of God and people today we don';t really consider it his word or else we would never dare to just pick and choose what to believe or not.
