Interesting. I thought he was saying angels have a special language. Could that still be a possibly? Thanks for the link on the study you did on the gift of tongues. Definitely interesting.
Yes, you will find it very interesting, and I studying that subject for 6 months, and read books and listen to sermons, even went to the Encyclopedias. When I was young, I wanted to write a thorough study of the modern day supposed
tongues, compared to what the disciplines did. The Charismatics
tongues, I am thoroughly convinced it is only ecstatic utterances, whereas the disciples had everyone there HEARING in their OWN "Dialectos", which is so specific of the languages that even the dialect, and accent was CORRECT to the Letter. What amazed the Crowd that day, was that these men were from Galilee, and there were know to have a very thick accent, and they heard in there own dialect with the correct accent as if they had grown up in the same villages with them. GOD's Miracles are PERFECT in every way, and Charismatic Utterances were not perfect.
Acts 2:5-12 (HCSB)
5 There were Jews living in Jerusalem,
devout men from every nation under heaven.
6 When this sound occurred, a crowd came together and was confused because
each one heard them speaking in his own language.
[.That word languages is "dialectos", so the Dialect and the Accent has to be accurate, and possibly maybe even the hearing was part of the miracle. It does not seem there was time to translate into every nation under heaven, for them ALL TO HEAR?]
7 And they were astounded and amazed, saying,
“Look, aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 How is it that each of us can hear in our own native language?
9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites; those who live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretans and Arabs—
we hear them speaking the magnificent acts of God in our own languages.”
12 They were all astounded and perplexed, saying to one another, “What could this be?”
