20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
Don't be childish, immature, untaught, or ignorant about tongues. Tongues were important in the early church as God transitioned from the Jews to the Gentile/Church, but afterward ceased because God was no longer using them as a sign to the Jews.
