Do you have recordings or video? Are you certain that they were speaking an "unknown language as the Spirit gave the utterance" and not just repeating English phrases they had heard in the service and in the prayers of those around them?
I have prayed with non-English speakers who obviously and consciously attempted to repeated some of the things that I had been saying. It was almost a word-for-word pidgin type of thing in badly accented English, and definitely not "my own tongue wherein I was born."
