Even if an angel were to preach a different gospel, there would be no validity in it, and he would fall victim to divine wrath. Rather, he is merely saying that even if one could ascend to a new height, and communicate on the level of angels, if he did not exercise love by speaking in an understandable fashion, he still would be nothing but a distracting noise.

As one scholar astutely observed: With respect to the words of angels which are recorded in the Scriptures, nothing can be plainer, more direct, and, we may say, more unimpassioned.

In particular, we are considering the continuationist claim that tongues in the New Testament were not necessarily real human foreign languages. In this series, we have been responding to the arguments presented by Storms in that book.
While he may have been using hyperbole, he just as likely may have been referring to heavenly or angelic dialects for which the Holy Spirit gives utterance. I am thankful that Storms as well as other continuationists like D. Carson allow for the possibility of hyperbole in 1 Corinthians , because I am convinced from the context that that is exactly how the phrase ought to be understood. The grammar suggests that Paul intentionally separated the tongues of men from the tongues of angels, articulating the normal expression of the gift of foreign languages before emphatically inserting a hypothetical hyperbole.
Even when Angels are send to humans to speak to them, they do not speak in Angelic tongues but in a tongue you understand, the tongues of men. A human being has no control of Angelic tongue but they are only under subjection of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who takes over your tongue at His Will, appropriate time and place for you to speak only to God. Since the tongue is in control of the Holy Spirit, there is no repetitions Mt 6 , you speak fluently flawlessly, and as you go on praying in Angelic tongues as Spirit enables you, you are completely encompassed and filled with joy happiness peace calmness and all fruits of the Holy Spirit to a level the world cannot comprehend.
As you speak in tongues of the Angels, every worry, problem, the world and all in it vanishes, and it is only you and heaven. Baptism with the Holy Spirit is a prerequisite to speak in Angelic tongues.
Every person who is baptized with the Holy Spirit can pray to God in secret in Angelic tongues — this is not a gift for few, for it is a taste of heaven on earth thus every person of heaven on earth can speak in Angelic tongues.
Tongues of men are the languages of men — e. English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, etc. Humans were created with one tongue but when they started building the tower of babel, God confused their language and tongues of men were born. Acts 2: 6, 11 Now when they heard this sound, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language — we hear them declaring the mighty works of God in our own tongues! Because they were speaking publicly to men not privately in secret to God — they were declaring to men the mighty works of God in their own native languages Acts , The Holy Spirit cannot enable a man speak tongues of Angels to fellow men — He is not confused.
In the same manner Angels cannot come to man and speak in their tongues. But if there is no interpreter, he should remain silent in the church and speak only to himself and God.
Reason you see preachers with interpreters — the interpreters interprets from one tongue of men to another; no human being can interpret Angelic tongues and no preacher of God preaches in Angelic tongues. And yes, Paul spoke in many tongues of men. Satan was an Angel, speaking in tongues of the Angels, and when he was cast from heaven, he counterfeited and made a tongue for his kingdom, kingdom of darkness.
These are the tongues used to communicate in the kingdom of darkness reason they are called demonic tongues. Demonic tongues are used to communicate to the kingdom of darkness e.
