I know pentecostals are quick to defend against this, but there are some, as you all know, that feel that just the apostles were the tongue talkers in Acs 2, and 1 proof of that is in the following verse, and I consider this particular verse to be a worthy consideration. Maybe it has been brot up B4 in another thread, I dunno.Here it is:
Acts 1:7 7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
So which is more likely, they figured the 12 were probably all Galileans, or they thot the 120 were all Galileans?
SOME interesting thots..Jesus told the apostles to wait for the Holy Spirit ( Acts 1:2-5) Then two angels spoke to the apostles and called them “ men of Galilee”. ( Acts 1:11)
Joseph of Arimathea and Mary, Martha, and Lazarus of Bethany were not Galileans, and who knows how many of the 120.... |

I've seen that case made. They usually develop it a bit though by stating that "Whoever one of the Twelve laid hands on would, or at least might 'speak in tongues.'"
Thus, when the last of the Twelve died no one new ever authentically "spoke in tongues." And when the last person that had one of the Twelve lay hands on them died - tongues ceased as per
1 Corinthians 13:8.
