Tongues as a Sign; Prophecy Brings Conviction

1 Corinthians 14:20-25

Brothers, don’t be children in your thinking. In evil, be like infants; but in your thinking, be grown-up.

In the Torah it is written, “By other tongues, by the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people. But even then they will not listen to me,” says Adonai.

Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers.

So if the whole congregation comes together with everybody speaking in tongues, and uninstructed people or unbelievers come in, won’t they say you’re crazy?

But if you all prophesy, and some unbeliever or uninstructed person enters, he is convicted of sin by all, he is brought under judgment by all,

and the secrets of his heart are laid bare; so he falls on his face and worships God, saying, “God is really here among you!”
