For it is written, 'Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, .........................................'
These are for real the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which Paul exactly mentions, were given to the Apostles out there, and believers in a gathering.
On the day of Pentecost the Apostles received, 'tongues of men' to serve in the field. These are languages spoken by men of all nation, as the commission of our Lord Jesus Christ given to the Apostles, and Holy Spirit to descend, must be met. They are to proclaim the Gospel and make disciples of all nation using the every languages of men imparted to them. Furthermore, instructing these men disciples, to observe all that He have commanded His Apostles.
Next, to serve believers indoors in a gathering, to some received the 'tongues of angels', languages of angels known only by GOD, not men. That is why, these some who've received them, should also pray for interpretation to the common languages of the place, to benefit all present. These languages are spoken by angels worshiping GOD in Heaven, day and night, as one day the saints will with the angels. That's why, the spiritual saints in a gathering here on earth itself, may also begin to use them with interpretation. In order, to pray, to sing and to give thanks, in worship to GOD who art in Heaven and in secret.
Wherefore, at the end, every one in the congregation who heard the meaning through the interpretation of these tongues. Therefore, now all the saints that are gathered as one body of Christ, are able to say together, Amen.
SAME Tongues spoken on Pentecost as in 1 Corinthians.
Now find out why God allowed a select group of the audience from Acts ch2 to hear what was spoken in Tongues.
