same Spirit;

To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning
of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation
of tongues:
(11)
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man
severally as he will.
When did they Begin?

it filled all the house where they were sitting.
(3)
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon
each of them.
(4)
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
What their purpose was

which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
When they Ceased to Exist

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;
whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it
shall vanish away.

(10)
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be
done away.
