si if the miracle in ACTS was the hearing then we could say it was necessary to propogate the gospel at its birth. Multiple languages were necessary. And what a miracle it was.
But what purpose would that hold now?
I've never understood why speaking intongues in prayer was ant better that just using good ole king's english. And if Paul is admonishing us to speak tongues quietly in church then there are a bunch of charismatic/apostolic churches in violation of scripture.
I am still yet to find scripture that supports Heavenly language.
