When I grew up in old time Pentecost it was the Old English of the KJV that made it seem mysterious and special. Some kind of proof that it was the word of God vs some book in normal english. LOL.
You could see that mentality played out in tongues with interpretation also. The interpretation was always given in Old English like the KJV. Apparently God really, really likes Old English!!!
