1Cor 14:4 says
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself...
That is, how much/well you speak in tongues is how much/well you have edified yourself.
Conversely, how much you have abandoned or despised or rejected or get bored or get tired or felt unimportant or derisive of speaking in tongues is exactly how much you have abandoned your personal edification.
Hmm..
The Bible says
*[[Gal 6:9]] KJV* And let us not be weary in WELL DOING: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Remember also that, to speak in tongues is a WELL DOING (1Cor 14:17).
So how edified are you? He that speaketh often in an unknown tongue edifieth himself often.
He that rarely speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself rarely.
He that seasonally speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself seasonally.
He that speaks in an unknown tongue on Sundays only edifies himself on Sundays only.
God is no respecter of persons. He that sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He that sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
In Church today, it's evident we're more edified than another because we speak in tongues at different frequencies and, yes, the Bible recognizes that we don't speak at same frequency. Some speak more than others. For example, Paul said, "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye [Corinthian Church entirely plus your prayer unit, plus your prayer coordinator plus pastor ] all" (1Cor 14:18); so you can speak in tongues more than another person. No wonder we can say Paul was evidently more edified. God is no respecter of persons: it doesn't matter what your calling is. A "callingless" believer who choose to personally edify himself will do himself more favour.
I choose to edify myself personally. I choose to speak in tongues often. Don't know about you.
