1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
Apostle Paul did not walk with Jesus Christ in his time of ministry but he could make exploit in the kingdom of God. Apostle Peter approved Paul’s letter because he was full of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit directed Paul to preach and deliver the Gentiles because he was full of the Holy Spirit.
Gentiles were deep in sin and most of them were idol worshippers. Their heart was not circumcised with the gospel and because the Holy Spirit was upon Apostle Paul, He could preach to the Gentiles with no fear. Paul said to the church in Corinth.
1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue EDIFIETH HIMSELF; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
