I 100% agree with you that Acts 2 and Corinthians. I am not sure I understand what you are saying here in bold orange.
There are 3 gifts that can be vocal for corporate or personal edification,...
1) gift of prophesying
2) gift of tongues
3) gift of interpretation
All 3 of these gifts can be operated by our regenerated human spirit AND The Holy Spirit.
- The gift of tongues cannot be understood in human languages, according to scripture it requires the gift of interpretation to understand what is spoken.
- The gift of interpretation and the gift of prophesying are spoken in human languages,.......any human language, not just our own. That's the part that can throw people off when one of these gifts operates in such a way. That operation of one of these gifts in a language other than our own is a rare operation, but it is correct as described in Acts 2.
How do we know that such an operation happened in Acts 2? By what Peter referenced,.....
Act 2:16 but this is that which hath been spoken by the prophet Joel;
Act 2:17 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams:
Act 2:18 Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
He didn't reference a section of OT scripture that talked about tongue speaking (there is none that I know of), he referenced the one on prophesying.
When tongues and interpretation happens by The Holy Spirit, that is considered prophesying according to scripture,...
1Co 14:5 Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
It is considered equal to the gift of prophesying in operation, hence why The Holy Spirit referenced that section of scripture in Peter.
It wasn't just tongues that was poured out in Acts 2, all the gifts were given to the new disciples when The Holy Spirit was poured out. And so were ministries and offices.
In other words, if you understood the language spoken was an American Indian dialect, then you have two choices of gifts that could have happened at that moment, the gift of interpretation in relation to your prayer language, or the gift of prophesying, either one operating in another language other than your own.
