Bro. Michael, May I add some more information to your message on tongues? I 
am of the Holiness Pentecost movement (Oneness). Yes I believe that if you 
receive the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Ghost) you will have a witness of other 
tongues. There is a gift of Tongues mentioned in 1st Cor. that is for the 
edification of the church. But there is a personal evidence of Tongues that 
is manifested through the Spirit of Christ, which is in you.
Paul said that if any speak in Tongues and there be no one to interpret, let 
him keep silent in the church (do not cause a disturbance) and speak to 
himself and G-d.
Though the apostles used Aramaic, most could and would use the Hebrew tongue 
as well. Many of the those that would travel from far points, as did these 
that heard the disciples speak in their own languages, were very well taught 
in the Hebrew language as well. If Hebrew was spoken, many of those that 
heard would of recognized it as such and would not of found it to be 
surprising. The apostles were not ignorant of Hebrew but were not schooled by 
any of the Torah scholars of the day, so were considered ignorant and 
unlearned men by the lawyers and scribes.
When Paul was taken at Jerusalem, as he was on the stairs, called out to the 
common people in the Hebrew tongue, which when they heard him speak in the 
Holy Tongue, held their peace.
Besides, Aramaic is not so far removed from the Tongue that some words would 
not be recognized by anyone.
On the original day of Shavuot (Pentecost), at Sinai when G-d delivered the 
commandments to the people, He spoke to all the nations to receive these laws 
of His Torah. Yet only the people of Israel would hear and obey.
It said there were thunderings. This was the voice of G-d speaking in the 
languages of the nations. According to Jewish history, flames of fire sat 
upon each and every one of them in the camp. Sound familiar?
Hope to hear more from you in this echo. Your's in Christ.
