Since Acts 2:4-11 teaches that when men spoke in tongues (i.e., "as the Spirit gave the utterance"), they spoke actual, understandable human languages, is it possible that any other cases of tongue speaking were in languages which could not be understood (e.g., 1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
1Co 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
1Co 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. AND WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? reply.

One is the 'tongues of humans' and another 'tongues of angels' (1Corinthians 13;1,beginning). These are only a 'sign' for 'unbelievers'. But they are edifying to oneself uttered in silence, having not the gift of 'interpretation' and they are edifying to the church only with 'interpreting' them, for everyone to understand it's meaning and at the end, the church say 'Amen' together and these are a 'sign' for a 'believer' (1 Corinthians 14;22 and 16).

While 'Prophesying' on the other hand 'built up' the church, unless one bring the church, some 'revelation' or 'knowledge' or 'prophecy' or 'teaching' (verse 4,end and 6,end).

GOD bless everyone in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Since to Prophesy is to teach and tongues are simply the languages , if an english speaking preacher goes to say Mexico and he does not have an interpreter , God and the angels will know what he is preaching about but the crowd will not have a clue....that is what is being taught by God`s word , man has twisted it for control of congregation , Churches that participate in babble (confusion) God calls them beth haven ( house of vanity) not Bethel (house of God) True evidence of the Holy Spirit speaking through men is as written in Acts chap 2 :8, all men of all languages understood what the apostles were speaking down to the location they were born, there is no such thing as speaking in a babbling tongue in Bethel.... Amen and peace to your home.
