Most mistakenly think the Apostles spoke in human tongues. They did not. They spoke in a heavenly tongue to God and those who understood also received the gift of interpretation. Others without the gift of interpretation dismissed it as gibberish.A little weak. Each of the hearers at Pentecost recognized that other foreigners present there were hearing the sermons in their own known tongue...… but the sounds being made by the speakers were "unknown" to all of them, even the ones speaking them. One voice was not speaking all 15 languages represented by the visitors, yet those visitors each heard in their own, esoteric, native tongues.... at the very same moment. (That is what they expressed such amazement at...…. NOT that the speaker was speaking in their language; that kind of thing would not have been rare, at all.)
