So do the tongues you believe in are the same as Acts 2? You speak and everyone hears in their language?
For the cause of Christ
Roger
Great question. Yes I do.
And I also believe in tongues that look like this:
1 Co 14:1Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.
2For one who speaks in a tongue
speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but
he utters mysteries in the Spirit.
3On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.
4The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.
And this:
13Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret.
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my
mind is unfruitful. << Notice you need an interpreter. And your mind doesn't understand it.
And this:
23If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? << Why would they think you're out of your mind if tongues is for other people to hear it? Hmm?
And this:
27If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. << Why does Paul say you need an interpreter if tongues is for other people to understand in their own language??
And this:
39So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and
do not forbid speaking in tongues.
If you are "for Scripture".
WHY DO YOU FORBID PEOPLE TO SPEAK IN TONGUES?
Don't come at me and say I've created my own revelation. I follow Scripture.

I've read before that there are three revelatory gifts, that being a word of knowledge, a word of wisdom, and prophecy. However, in thinking upon it, really tongues should be added to that list as it can encompass all three in one. Revelation is granted and then given for another persons edification.
