I know 1 Cor 14:2 is a popular verse with Pentecostals. Since it was brought up that we just interpret scripture differently, I wonder how Pentecostals interpret the following passage.
Quote:

1 Corinthians 14:20-22 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 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. 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.

I believe that since we have the entirety of God's Word, we should read God's Word and listen to the preaching of God's Word, (to prophesy today is to preach the Word of God, no knew revelations).
We can find all of the answer's needed in God's Word, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We don't need anything else. Those that won't listen to prophecy, they want a sign instead.
