At Pentecost it was a different type of tongues, they spoke in different languages and each heard them in their own language.
Speaking in tongues in Holy Ghost churches can be an incredible experience. I am sure some here can back me up on this. Its the hearing and the feeling in your chest and mind. Even if you are not the one speaking in tongues. You can feel the wonderful feeling of the presences of the Holy Spirit and sometimes you can see it. Looking acrossed the room at times I could see the effects on the people as it moved passed them. And when the Holy Spirit came around to me I could feel the motion in the air and that incredible feeling.
You cannot understand the people speaking in tongues, but the words have a strong effect on you.....inspirational. And you can see it having the same effect on other people. The feeling that God is there and participating. At times there is an interpreter and it is usually inspirational. Then at times you have people that dance and roll around when they are speaking in tongues. I get worried that they will hurt themselves dancing or rolling and I and others would get a hold of them to keep them safe and you feel what was going on with them. The Holy Spirit touches you and warms your whole body.
Imparting the Holy Spirit to others. The preach would bless people standing and hit them in the forehead and they would fall over and people would catch them. I kind of figured they were falling over because it was expected of them.....until it happened to me. When you come to it like you have been in Heaven....its great.
I have never had the blessing of speaking in tongues but I would welcome it.
""At Pentecost it was a different type of tongues, they spoke in different languages and each heard them in their own language.""
That is the purpose of tongues, to be understood by others including the talker.
Can you list an occasion today where 'tongues' is understood & interpreted by others ?
If not, then the only 'tongues' today are UNKNOWN tongues which is simply a 'talker' using it as a means of themselves praying to God but not God talking to them.

Does the Bible indicate that Paul spoke in tongues?
If not what I explained he had not experienced.
And like I said sometimes there are interpreters.
And on your question....Can you list an occasion today where 'tongues' is understood & interpreted by others ?
There have been too many to remember. But some of them was on prayer and worship and hymns.
For example; Prayer is a reflection of your character. At one time I remember a request for a prayer chain. And another that charity should start within the church.

1CO 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
He speaks of his spirit's prayer language when he wasn't even in church.
1CO 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
Here, he is NOT saying don't pray in tongues in Church. We pray in tongues in church, homegroups and with two or more. We don't even expect anyone to understand our prayer tongues, which is the usual case.

You are from Nairobi in Kenya. What language are you referring to above Brother MJ?
If you were a Jew on Pentecost, from where Kenya is now, you would have heard whatever language was spoken 2,000 years ago.
What is your Christian experience so far? Do you go to a Charismatic or Pentecostal church? You said you are seeking research, so I'm going to recommend you not listen to those who don't even have the experience to begin with. They will just fill you with enough 'faith killer' theology, that you'll end up right where they're already at.
EDIT; If you're just getting here and reading this Brother MJ, I'm suggesting someone like the very next poster.

1 Cor 14: 18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: <<< UNDERSTANDABLE by others.

In that case there would be MANY on social media, please link one.

Tongues had a specific purpose.

Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of our faith, teach yourself first before you teach others, and before you become 'shipwrecked' as a result.

Seriously?
What an 'amateur' and 'shortsighted' respond as usual, thus based on being haughty and wise in one's own conceit.
Even 'demons' know and obey them too!
So, am not surprised about those of 'false brethren' and of lawlessness' denomination among us.
Recognizing them by the 'fruit', who apparently tend to quote scripture out of context, to justify their teaching for doctrine the commandments of men.

I have been taught, but not just by listening to teaching about tongues that scared me when I first heard it. I went home and studied it for a week. And I didn't just study by reading the written word, but by letting the Spirit of the spoken word speak to me during that week. Then I got it, a week later, from the same Brother who scared me the week before. I have taught it and ministered it to many since. You see Fred, just reading the dead letter of the 'written word' ends up with just having a doctrine that puffs up. People I've ministered it to, all felt my love for the truth I wanted to share with them.
2CO 3:5 Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God,
6 who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life.
My wife told me of a Chinese lady missionary visiting here in Alabama at the local church . One of the regular church members spoke a message in tongues during a church service . But problem was after the message in tongues was given no one offered an interpretation . Then the Chinese missionary spoke up and said the message was for her , it was spoken in Cantonese . Part of the message was for her and part was for her church back home in China . She said the message was delivered in perfect Cantonese , the lady that spoke the tongues message in Cantonese spoke Appalachian :) like me .
""One of the regular church members spoke a message in tongues during a church service""
The 'regular church member' does not know Cantonese ?

Correct , the church member spoke English of the southern USA style . She did not know Cantonese .
Social media has plenty of Church services recorded online for others to watch world-wide.
As yet I have not found any Acts 2:4 'speaking in a language unknown by the tongue talker'.
Can you list any ?
Convincing truth for YOU here on this forum about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit is going to be hard to come by .
You need to get your truth up close and personal by attending a Church that has the Gifts of The Holy Spirit in evidence , it may take a few services for you to get what you need . It will be worth it , I will be praying for you .
