So just what was that falling all over the place in Acts?Diversities of Gifts.
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Just as there are today.
Of course, God works when and where he sees fit.
Lotsa miracles during the Moses-and-Joshua days of the Church. Then relatively few, by comparison; a few here and there in Judges, but not many international bodies of water getting split up the middle. Then a burst of miracles during the Elijah-and-Elisha days of the Church; then another hiatus. Prophecy and Illumination given to Daniel, but not so much Fire from Heaven (just some fire-proofing). Big burst of miraculous outpouring during the Jesus-and-Apostles days of the Church, then another more "quiet" period... some Prophecy and lots of Illumination during the Reformation, but not too many bodily resurrections.
And no "holy babbling" anywhere in the whole line of Church history.
God ain't a slot machine, dispensing Gifts of Holy Gibbering and Sanctified Epilepsy at our demand. He gives those Gifts He deems fit for the Church in His appointed times, in His appointed places.
