Is the List in Mark 16:16 Exhaustive?
No. It cannot be an exhaustive list because of the following:
- The fact that they can all speak in tongues, and that this will in fact be “all tongues”, since we are to be one, [Joh 17:22] and speaking languages other do not understand makes us strangers [1Cor 14:10-11], then we know that we will also understand, and not just speak those languages
- We will certainly understand all human languages since the Church is coming from all tribes and languages and peoples and nations [Rev 5:9], we will have to understand the language being spoken by one another
- Isaiah speaks of other powers such as:
- Supernatural strength, speed, and stamina [Isa 40:29-31; 1Kgs 18:46]
- Flight [Isa 40:31]
- We will not drown in water or be burned by fire [Isa 43:2; Rev 20:14,6; Dan 3:25-27].
- We will have power over the elements, which means we will be able to do miracles in general [Gal 4:3]
