"On the day of Pentecost the believers were in their home country. They did not learn a new language in one day as you prescribe. Please also point out where ever one that day were "missionaries" I can not find that in my bible." Man, I'm used to having to explain my dumb jokes, and now it's my "serious" statements. hehe:)

PLEASE read the post carefully. I never said anything about them learning a new language at Pentecost, nor did I say anything about them being missionaries (though the apostles were somewhat missionaries after the Jesus ascended). I said that I believe another way that the gift of tongues is manifest is sometimes when missionaries learn another language. At Pentecost, the gift of tongues was used as a tool to manifest the power of God.

I did in fact read "very carefully". That is why I replied to YOUR WORDS!

You did not say "another way". What you did post:

I believe a major manifestation of the gift of tongues is indeed when missionaries learn a language under the inspiration of God in order to become stronger in sharing his Word.
