Q.1

Was Paul an apostle to the Gentiles? *

But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
-Galatians 2:7-9.

Note: Circumcision refers to the Jews while uncircumcision to the Gentiles.

Q.2

Had Paul gone and preached to many Gentile places? *

And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia: And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. And there they abode long time with the disciples.
-Acts 14:24-28.

Q.3

Did Paul speak in tongues more than any member at Corinth church did? *

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
-1 Corinthians 14:18-19.

Q.4

Did Paul prefer to speak in tongues in the church? *

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

Q.5

To whom is the sign of tongue-speaking intended for? *

In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
-1 Corinthians 14:21-22.

To believers
To unbelievers

Q.6

What would be the impression of other people if you speak words that cannot be understood? *

Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
-1 Corinthians 14:11.

A civilized and educated person
A Barbarian (uncivilized, uneducated person)

Q.7

Did Paul teach that what we should not say "Amen" if we do not understand? *

-1 Corinthians 14:16.
