As I stated in response to a similar post of yours on another thread,...
People receive the Holy Ghost at my church almost every sunday, as they were filled in the bible. You can come see it and hear it happen any ole time.
No one screams, spits, pushes, pulls, slaps under the chin, or instructs them to repeat words over and over and over. Neither does it take hours or days or weeks or months for someone to receive the Holy Ghost. Average time of receipt at my church is 10 minutes, and often less than this. God gets all the credit and all the glory! He is the one that gives the gift.
As for the topic of this thread...
Among Christians, anything that is HUMANLY impossible can very easily be referred to as HEAVENLY. So when people talk about a "heavenly language", it means that it is something that comes from heaven, in other words, something from God. This is an accurate description of "speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance."
The bible says every good and perfect GIFT comes from above. What does "above" mean? Something from heaven, something from God.
As for no reference in Acts using the words "heavenly language"...
Just because its not recorded in Acts in black and white doesn't make it wrong. You want to split hairs over terminology? If so, there are alot of examples of terms we use that are no where to be found in scripture.
There are also alot of practices, things we Christians do, that are no where to be found in scriptures. That doesn't necessarily make it wrong, its simply different.
If we are going to be so hung up on having precise, specific, scriptural examples for everything we say and do then we best get back to going house to house for fellowship and the word and get back to having all things common! To name just a couple of examples of things most Christians DON'T practice.
