Why is the gift of tongues a sign for unbelievers and prophecy a sign for believers?
1 Cor. 14:22: "Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers."
1 Corinthians 14:22
NLT - 22 So you see that speaking in tongues is a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for the benefit of believers, not unbelievers.
