1 Corinthians 14.26-40: That'll Do Ya

The word charismatic and confusion are frequently placed together. This perhaps has to do with the fact that often what is purported to be the freedom of the Spirit is nothing more than confusion and disorder. Paul reminds us that there is a limit to what people can digest spiritually. Tongues and prophecies should be limited to 3 people per service. Each must wait their turn and even then what is uttered is completely under their control. Spirit filled services are ordered in such a way that there is freedom of expression but at the same time clear definite restrictions which cause everyone to be enriched not just the visible vocal few.
