Tongues Weren't for Preaching

Those who were speaking in tongues had already heard the Word, received it, and believed it.

The sign of speaking with tongues followed those (those who had already heard and believed the Word).

So the Word came first.

The sign which followed was a sign to the unbelievers who heard it. It got their attention. But it did not inform them what they must do.

Peter still had to preach the Word. And then they got baptised.

So tongues was not for the purpose of preaching the Gospel - or else Peter would not have needed to preach the Gospel as well.

Tongues, and preaching the Gospel, are two separate things.
