I don't understand the video or tape recording tongues has any Biblical significance. I mean, if we follow the logic of what you are saying, then the interpreted message would be specifically for those present at the time of recording. When the tape would then be played for "others"
Acts 2:13, they would only hear slurring, marbled, unintelligible speech, just like the non devout men on the day of Pentecost. Who while the Parthian Judean heard psalmic tribute to God in his own tongue, another Parthian Judean standing next to his country men heard nothing but stammering lips.
Now, like I said in my post to you, why do we not see this with the Roman Centurion and the Christian Judeans with Peter? Why aren't we told about a language translation for the re-baptized disciples of John by Paul? Peter relays his account of Cornelius two times, once in
Acts 11, and another in
Acts 15. Yet, we are told nothing about any importance that their tongues were translated by the witnesses or needed to be translated by the witnesses.
Jesus tells the Hellenized Roman Judean Nicodemus that the spirit goes where it wants and you hear its voice, and so is all who are born of the Spirit. Meaning that you will hear the sound/voice of the Spirit in everyone who is born of the Spirit. Yet, Jesus didn't say anything about translation.
Only in the message of tongues and interpretation in the Corinthian Church are we told that the unintelligible gibberish wasn't to be used to address a congregation because NO MAN knows what you would be saying. Again, we see an unintelligible language which no man can understand. So if and only if an interpreter is present can we address a congregation. Also we are told to pray that we can interpret our own tongues. On the day of Pentecost you had devoted Judeans (there because of devotion to God)
Acts 2:5 and "others" who were their for strictly religious legalistic purposes
Acts 2:13. Therefore one group UNDERSTOOD, and the others mocked away. Cain sacrifice was rejected, because he just was doing what he had to do, and Abel's was accepted because he had much love in worship, he was devoted. Only those who truly sincerely want truth will find it, and those who just win religious wars will twist in circles.
