There were many saints that came out of a relatively small church of 200 saints to become gifted members of the Body. So that environment where it was a given that in any meeting "all could prophesy" (though it was also a given that "all could be rebuked", "all could be chastened", etc.) is the same environment that many gifted brothers and sisters came out of.

Funny how "gifted" seems to coincide with "steadfastly toes the party line"...
