Peter is explaining what is going on to the crowd. He is calling to mind that which Joel prophesied to Israel. Peter cites the passage including the wonders in heaven that are not present at Pentecost. So this is only a partial fulfillment of the prophecy. This is the promised filling of the Holy Spirit with power. This is not a baptism.
One baptism unto salvation many fillings to serve.
Is that the same as being "filled by the Holy Spirit many times"?
Lu 12:11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
Lu 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
Lu 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
And yet the question goes unanswered. Are tongues human languages or ecstatic utterances? Human languages unknown to the hearer and requiring an interpreter or ecstatic utterances that could be anything and even with interpretation remain subject to the interpreter?

But then as time would go on, and things were being taught in churches, in order to keep order(?) God doesn't want people just speaking different languages that would cause confusion, so instead of Him doing a Supernatural interpretation every time in every church, He simply leaves it up to certain believers to be interpretors, so everyone in attendance could understand and be edified?
And if there's no interpretor present, just speak in the one common language?
idk, this whole thing leaves me wondering.
