To all a Happy Pentecost! About 3400 years ago, God gave His Law and made a covenant with the people of Israel at Mt. Sinai written on tables of stone. Then about 2000 years ago, God gave His called out ones--the church---His Holy Spirit and wrote the spiritual aspects of His Law on the hearts of all believers. Happy birthday to the Ekklesia. Celebrate the salvation we have through Jesus our Lord.

Okay you will have to clarify that Paul was speaking about languages which are not know to people in the world today when he was talking about speaking in tongues. Here are my references.
Acts 2:4 - Began to speak with tongues Acts 2:6 - everyone heard them speak in his own language Acts 2:7-8 - Marveled, saying to one another, "Look are not all these who speak Galileans?" And how is it that we hear each in our own language in which we were born? Acts 2:9-11: Identifys the regions in which they were all from (vast differences of geography and culture)
I Corinthians 12:10-11 - Speaking in tongues and interpreting tongues, also mentions earlier the working of miracles. I Corinthians 14:6 - If I come to you speaking in a tongue, what does it profit? I Corinthians 14:10-11 - There are, it may be so many kinds of langues in the world, and non of them is without significance. Therefore if I do not know the meaning of the language I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks.. I Corinthians 14:18 I thank God I speak with tongues more than you all I Corinthians 14:19 yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understand that I may teach others also than ten thousand words in a tongue.
