Can you explain how you get four (or even three) commands from it? Again, to me it looks like two commands, and a result of following the commands. And the promised result is a "gift". How can receiving a gift be considered a command? It's up to the giver of the gift to fulfill that part, not the recipient! |
Well when you start off with a logical fallacy it sort of sets the mood for the rest of the post. Sorry but OPs do NOT say tongues is a necessary act to be saved nor do we say it is implicit in the verse...sigh
