Paul assures us, for instance, that speaking in a tongue and uttering prophecies (the exercise of Spirit-imparted gifts) are under the voluntary control of individual Christians. The Spirit may inspire, but the Christian chooses when to utter. "If anyone speaks in a tongue, two - or at the most three - should speak, one at a time..." (1 Cor. 14:27). "The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets" (1 Cor. 14:32).
John White, When The Spirit Comes With Power, p. 117
