Lecture 4 — Children in malice, perfect in sense

I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all;

nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind, in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; be babes in evil, but in thinking be mature.

In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.

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