Paul wrote: "let THE (ONE) SPEAKING (IN A) TONGUE pray in-order-that HE-MIGHT-INTERPRET" (1 Corinthians 14:13). Here an INDIVIDUAL in Christ speaking in a tongue can also pray to interpret that tongue, displaying how a single INDIVIDUAL can exercice 2 spiritual gifts together (SPEAKING IN TONGUES along with INTERPRETATION).

In Acts 3, PETER the apostle performed with FAITH a HEALING, and then said: "on-the-basis-of (OUR) FAITH (in) His name, His name made-strong this (one) whom you-see and know" (Acts 3:16) so that the man became "(one) HAVING-BEEN-HEALED" (Acts 4:14). Here an INDIVIDUAL in Christ, PETER, may have performed 2 spiritual gifts together: performing the gift of FAITH (which is one spiritual gift) along with GIFTS OF HEALINGS (which is an additional spiritual gift), so as to make the man whole.

Paul wrote about "the whole church" (1 Corinthians 14:23) that "if THEY ALL PROPHESY, and some unbeliever or (an) uninstructed (one) comes-in, he-is-convicted BY ALL" (1 Corinthians 14:24).

Paul wrote: "If ANYONE SPEAKS (IN A) TONGUE, (let it be done) by two or (at) the most three, and in turn, AND LET ONE (PERSON) INTERPRET. BUT IF THERE-IS NO INTERPRETER, let-him-be-silent in church. And let-him-speak to himself and (to) God" (1 Corinthians 14:27-28). 

Here Paul highlighted how AN INDIVIDUAL can SPEAK IN A TONGUE (which is a spiritual gift) and there is also AN INDIVIDUAL who can INTERPRET (which is an a different spiritual gift). 

Paul added that if there is not interpreter, then the one speaking in a tongue must speak to himself and to God (implying that the individual speaking in a tongue may not necessarily be the same individual who is the interpreter, which in turn displays how two different people having different spiritual gifts could exercice them along one another here).
