Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 14:23

23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place , and all speak with tongues , and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers , will they not say ye are mad? .

The Phrase signifieth to one place, or for one and the same work; the first seemeth to be meant here by what followeth.

Some think that the Apostle here, by all speaking with Tongues, understands all, or many of them, confusedly talking together; and indeed that is an errour: we shall find the Apostle afterward reflecting upon them for; but here I do not think it is intended, but only many of you, one after another, because of what the Apostle speaketh of Prophesying, v. 24. For if all prophesied in that sense, talking at the same time together confusedly, and an Unbeliever came in and heard, they would also, instead of being convinced, say they were mad.

One that is an Heathen, or that did not understand the Language you discoursed in,

would he not say you were men that had lost the use of your Reason, to talk to men in a Language you your selves knew they understood nothing of?
