Except for the fact that what you imply IS NOT FOUND IN THE TEXT and PAUL concludes with MATURING, PUTTING AWAY CHILDISH things and WHAT is NOW ABIDING...faith, hope and LOVE........PEOPLE who think they NEED TOUNGUES are saying they are NEW to the faith and CHILDISH and IMMATURE...when are you going to grow up and mature? Are you a NEW disciple or NEW to the faith or are you a MATURE servant?
WHAAAT?
Oh you mean about women keeping silent . . . does that have to do with tongues or with the service in general about "if we have a question let us ask our husbands at home"? If our services these days were set up as in the synagogues with the women sitting on one side and the men sitting on the other side . . . pretty disruptive for the women to start yelling at the men on the other side of the room with a question. Of course, services are not like that at all these days. Let all things be done decently and in order.

Tongues were a sign for unbelieving Israel. Isa 28 lays out the fact that Israel(This people/the Jew) would be under their fifth cycle of discipline when the sign of tongues(a known language) appeared to them.
The dogs(gentiles) would speak to the unbelieving Jew in their native tongue and Give them the Gospel that they were SUPPOSED to give to the gentiles.
Tongues were for "This people"............the unbelieving Jew that rejected their own Messiah and rejected their privilege of furthering the Gospel to the world. It was an utter shock(sign) for a Jew to have a dog witness their very Messiah to them in a language they knew the dog didn't know.

I'm not going to bother posting scripture when there are myriads of pages of threads here on the subject already. with every scripture there is in the Bible on this subject
Tongues was not and is not now a sign for unbelieving Israel.
That's a new twist. I have not heard that one before, but thanks for not being rude like someone else here.
