You said: "Rare instances of some missionary giving the gospel to a remote isolated tribe in the own language which the missionary never learned is not the same thing as the biblical gift of tongues at all. "

What would you call that?




I would call that a genuine miracle. The biblical gift of tongues, though, was a covenental sign-gift to the Jews, and in particular to that generation of Jews which saw the end of the old covenant of Moses.

It is all spelled out with supporting scriptural and historical evidence in the article I wrote on tongues, under the Charismatic Movement here: The Truth About the Gift of Tongues on the Highway.

In His grace,
