Re: Have we confused tongues/int. with prophecy?
Paul's main point was Love and where the gifts came into that. So he points out the best gifts are those that edify OTHERS.
Yet in that vein Paul did not merely say "seek prophesy"
1Co 14:5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.
"UNLESS", when does he that speaks in a tongue become equal to he that prophesies? when someone interprets so the church may be built up, because that was the point to prophesying, to build up the church
