By people I mean jews and gentiles and I do not read anywhere that there are 2 seprate instances of the tongues they were not praying in the upper room for the holyghost because Jesus told them to wait for it now when it fell the people heard this and came running to hear they own language...
Where did the bible say this was a sign to show Jews and Gentles that Jesus was who he said he was?

Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
while i do believe the account. i really wonder if verse 5 is completely correct. i question Luke's ability to know if every nation under heaven was represented there.
Luke is probably thinking every nation he knows of. BTW you ever think that we have "sayings" or "Phrases" that if translated into aramaic back then would sound ridiculous to them? Like calling a sodomite "gay"...or saying something is bad when you mean you like it or saying something is cool even though it's 105 degrees?
Jesus heals the lame and you say "That was totally wicked man! DO it again!"

Strongs list the word "nation"...as meaning "race or tribe"....the word "every" as meaning "all"....the word "heaven" as meaning "air, sky, or the abode of God".

exactly!!
3 people can say the exact same words...and depending on where they are from...it can mean 3 different things. example...the word "fag" has a whole different meaning in London, England then in Dayton, Ohio.

After Thanksgiving Dinner, my brother-in-law Joe stepped outside to have a cigarette. We had a guest visiting from England, and observing the situation, he said (in that beautiful accent), "Ahhh. The fags must go outside."
We all just sat there and looked at him stupid-like, not understanding. Finally, someone just had to ask, "Why do you think Joe is a fag?"

Well, we all just ROTF when the story came out.
