Tongues of Men & Of Angels
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels…1 Cor 13:1 KJV
New Tongues
Speaking in new tongues is one of the signs of true believers
(Mark 16:17).
New tongues means new languages. And these new tongues are distinct from speech to speech; expression to expression and from sound to sound.
They are attesting signs—they serve as evidence of our Heavenly citizenship.
New tongues declare the wonders of GOD in Heavenly language.
In Psalm 19:3-4 we are informed that: “there is no speech nor spoken word from the stars; their voice is not heard. Yet their voice in evidence goes out through all the earth, their sayings to the end of the world”.
So, are new tongues (Heavenly language)—like the stars, they show forth knowledge. They tell of God's invisible qualities-— His eternal Power and divine nature.
While the event of Acts 2 speaks of the sign of other tongues; which is a declaration of the wonders of GOD in the languages of men, the event of Acts 10 demonstrates signs of the new tongue (Heavenly language).
While Peter was still speaking these words, The Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of The Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.
Then Peter said, "Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received The Holy Spirit just as we have."
Acts 10:44-47 NIV
This is the gift of The Holy Spirit to the Gentiles, as was first, given to the Jews.
