The eunuch left Phillip without the Holy Ghost.
What? Read that again.
Acts 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
The eunuch was saved for why he was rejoicing.
No problem, the Lord has that stuff.
Not sure what you meant by that.
Also, the gift of known tongues per 1Cor 12 are not to be confused with unknown tongues of chapter 14.
Not really. 1 Cor 12 sets the precedent for how the manifestations were to operate and that was for the body withal and not for private use.
1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal....13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many..... 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Proof that tongues were not for private use.
Paul even gave the bottom line on tongues 1 Cor 14 just in case readers were reading between the lines for tongues for private use in 1 Cor 14.
1 Corinthians 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
Pray normally, brother, at that throne of grace for confirmation or reproof in your walk with Him if you value your relationship with Him. Then trust Jesus Christ as your Good Shepherd to help you see the truth in His words so you can discern spirits and tongues for private use as not of Him at all.
The Pagan Origins of Modern “Speaking in Tongues”
Since there was and still is a supernatural tongue in the world that is just gibberish nonsense, you need to test the spirits and the tongues they bring, because that kind of tongue was in the world before Pentecost and so that would make God a copy cat of Satan if He switched his mode of tongues for speaking unto the people in their native foreign tongue to speaking in confusion with no interpretation which God is not the author of.
1 John 4:1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
