In the Old Testament when the Holy Spirit came upon a person, the person prophesied as in:
Numbers 11:16-30 the 70 elders
1 Samuel 10:6-13; 19:20-24 Saul
1 Samuel 19:20-21 Saul's messengers
2 Samuel 23:2 David
1 Peter 1:11-12;
2 Peter 1:19-21 other prophets whose names are not given.
Why did they prophesy/nawbaw/bubble up in their own language in the Old Testament and in "other tongues" in the New? I don't know, unless because they were one people of one language under the Old Covenant and the New Covenant is for all people of all tongues and nations and the Spirit is to be poured out upon all flesh.
