“It is the responsability of each believer to hear from the Holy Spirit and act from His word. If you don’t is because you are either deaf spiritually speaking or you have failed to read God’s word on your own without depending so much on others.
Rev. 3:15-22 “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and pitiable and poor and blind and naked. I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be manifested; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline. Therefore be zealous and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

i am not sure what he mean by speak in tongue mean the ability to preach to other language
in this case Indonesian who learn English and preach in english, mean speak in tongue
in act, apostle speak in other tongue mean all people heard them speak in their langue
for example, Peter preach in English, people from Spanish hear him in Spanish, Indonesian hear him preach in Indonesian with out interpreter
in Corinthians Paul say there is a gift that need interpretation
seem that other type of gift in tounge

The Bible also teaches that we are all members of the body of Christ, and we are to minister to one another. The same passage, I Corinthians 12, lists prophecy as one of the spiritual gifts were are to use to edify one another. The Bible does not say that our only way to hear from God is individualistic, or that God only speaks to us as individuals through scripture. We should be faithful with the copies of the scriptures we have been entrusted with, to read them, with our time to read and pray, and to minister to others. But the Bible shows that God can speak to one person through another. There are numerous examples of this in the Bible.
P
I would say no I do not. But, the Bible has the words of many prophets and even he words of God's own Son, Jesus
I would be careful of people calling themselves prophets as there are many who make false prophecies.
Many claim they are hearing from God and they are not hearing from God. In fact, the Bible warns us of people like that and the safest thing, is to read the Bible and even study it.
