I realise from your responses that I have offended some of you and for that I am sorry, I never meant to be arrogant or condescending. Let me just clarify some of the things you commented.
Borg, I don't think you mean that the gifts are dead, your posts show otherwise. I just wondered if that was your background.
My comment "If some people abuse it, so what?" seems to be misunderstood. I meant it for me as a person. I will not let other peoples abuse of good things deter me from seeking those good things, in whatever area of life.
Of course I don't mean that I can abuse any gift of God or that I would allow that in any group or meeting that I lead! That thought would be straight from the devil!
Finally the playing out thing. A common interpretation, (not Borgs as far as I know) is to diminish the importance of the gifts in favour of love, especially in 1 Cor. As far as I understand those three chapters they are supporting each other and that love is the attitude in which all gifts must be exercised, otherwise they are useless. But we should not chose EITHER love OR prophesy, tongues, service or whatever gift.
With hope of a good conversation, since I find this topic interesting.
