Question
Could you please explain what I corinthians 14 & 15 if possible read the whole chapter
David,
Your question was placed in the "Question Pool". I hope you don't mind me answering it for you.
The basic premiss of chapter 14 is Paul (by divine inspiration) setting things in order at the Corinthian church. They were mis-appropriating the Gifts of the Spirit (listed in 1 Cor. 12). In particular the gift of tongues (not speaking in the prayer language the Believer receives at the Spirit infilling) and prophesy. The Lord had Paul to give guidelines for both, yet without prohibiting the use of either gift.
The main premise of chapter 15 is resurrection of the Believers. Apparently therr was the false teaching of being baptized for the dead, and the false teaching of "no resurrection" of the dead at all. Both of these are false. The Lord had Paul to give a clear message of the resurrection of the saint.
David, please let me know if this helps, or if you have any further questions.

Experience
My wife Darla and I have been married for twenty five years. We both gave our hearts to the Lord a few months after we were married during a revival meeting. A few weeks later I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and I have not been the same since!
In those twenty five years we have only attended one church, Harvest Church (Pastor Jeff Burns). I have served there as an Elder for fourteen years. We minister in song with the choir and worship team. I am also the new members class coordinator, men's ministry director, and the Harvest Riders motorcycle ministry president.
In 1993 the Lord called me to "...preach the Gospel where ever I open the door..." Darla and I have had the privilege of ministering God's Word to churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In those meetings we have seen the Lord save, heal, deliver, and fill people will His Spirit.
