But the all important factor is that tongues are associated with the more overspreading thought that they occurred when ENTIRE ETHNIC PEOPLES. IOW, precedent setting. In fact, what lends credence to this idea is that Acts 15 shows the apostles proving the gentiles received the Spirit because they experienced precisely what the Jews did in Acts 2, which Acts 10 says was the speaking with tongues. And for it to happen today with people who never even knew tongues was a reality nor heard of it (as I personally know people like this), it sends the message even more clearly.
