the initial pouring out had firey tounges over there head, and people could understand what these people was saying. However today we dont know what they are saying. unless one interprets.
and if a interpretor is needed then it must be the gifts of the spirit.
in another part of the bible they also prophesied would one have to prophesy as well to show that they recieved spirit baptism. again the word charisma which is related to the gifts of the spirit, is the same word used in ephesians 2:8-9 the free Gift (charisma) of God is eternal life.
One must balance the bible.
I agree we need the Spirit, I do agree that tounges is a evidence of the Spirit but it it not the onlt one, we have isolated one gift of the Spirit and made it a mandatory experience.
we have people today who are self sacrificing for the Kingdom of God who never spoke in tounges, yet the evidence is the fruit they bear in labor for our precious Lord. Fruits galations 5:22
