Truth is, while I have some issues with tongues as they are often practiced in todays Pentecostal churches, I am not at all ready to give credence to cessationism either. I do know Christians of both persuasions and do not think it speaks of their faith or their standing in the body.
Also, if only for the Apostles and a few they anointed, what was that discussion in Corinthians all about?

All the gifts are for the church:
1 Cor. 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
And NOT only the apostles had power to heal -
Ananias wasnt an apostle, yet he laid his hands on Paul to heal him- acts 9:17
And signs including tongues would follow the believer -
Mk. 16:17
Im not supporting the cessationist view especially in its entirety, but I am however saying, that what I posted seems to be some decent evidence for it just being the 12 in
Acts 2(thot to be ALL Galileans). That does not mean that tongues(& other signs..) and etc could not otherwise also follow the believer...to jive with other scriptures like I posted..
