It's not the fact that tongues is mentioned 3-4 times. It's the context in where they appear and what was said.
For example Peter, speaking of the baptism of the Spirit (Joel's Prophecy) "This is what you now see and hear"
And In Cornelius's case they KNEW they received the Spirit when they were heard to have spoken in tongues and then Peter compared that to when they received the Spirit at the beginning. Acts seems to make tongues, upon receiving the Spirit for the first time, the normative experience
