Yes, the sign gifts were associated with an immature Christianity.
The unity of the faith is in the completed New Testament. The process of inspiration was still going on then and now is finished. The apostles passed and early churches set up.
And yes.. when Paul says desire to speak in tongues.. it is to the church of Corinth then. Not to us now.. unless there is nothing limiting its use, but there is with inspiration of the Scriptures finished.
A key thing though is getting these gifts defined rightly. From that point, then it is clearer what has happened to them.

Are you smarter then the Holy Spirit or do you enjoy making things up???
According to your reasoning, the Holy Spirit administered His Holy Gifts to make us immature before God = quite the philosophical look you have upon Scripture.
Please explain how the Apostles were better off and far more spiritually mature before they were Baptized in the Holy Spirit.
This will be quite interesting.
