G.W. North emphasizes the superiority of Prophecy over Tongues in the church, explaining that while Tongues engages only the spirit, Prophecy involves both spirit and understanding, making it more beneficial for communication and comprehension among believers. He clarifies that both gifts are divinely given for spontaneous utterances in the church, but they serve different purposes and should not be conflated with preaching or other forms of speech. North argues that Prophecy is adaptable and universally applicable, while Tongues is a specific expression of prophetic utterance, highlighting the need for clarity in understanding these spiritual gifts.
