Could it be that 1 Cor 14 is about liturgy. Paul seems to understand the activities of the assembly and to condone them. He charges them to do everything in order. Our tendency to order and the top - down hierarchy prohibits the kind of interaction that led to the development of a fully active congregation in my opinion. 1 Corinthians: 14. 26. What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
