Wherefore tongues are a sign for them that believe not.
That is to say, if everyone is peaking in tongues with no interpreter, then the unbeliever will not become convinced, but will conclude the church is insane and off their rocker.

Paul would rather they prophesied, so as to produce belief, not just speak in tongues (with no interpretation) which will likely not produce belief.

1 Cor 14 "...but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe."
Based on what you wrote, it seems you're saying prophesying serves unbelievers?
