Four common objective to speaking in tongues

 It is  true that although you will find all other seven gifts of the Spirit manifested in the earthly 🌍 ministry of Jesus, you won't find tongues and interpretation operating in His ministry. You also won't find speaking in other tongues or interpretation of tongues In demotration in the Old Testament . These two  gifts of the Spirit are distinctive of this Holy Spirit dispensation OR age, which began with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2.

      The Pentecostal don't have a different Holy Spirit than we have. He isn't a Twins or triplets or quadruplets or quintuplets. There is only one Holy Spirit! It's identically the same spirit --just a different dimensions.

    Some people use Acts.8:14-17 to prove that the baptism of the Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues was only available for the for the Early Church as long as the original apostles were still alive. These people mistakenly maintain that only the apostles could minister the baptism of the Holy Spirit to people. 

  However, this passage in Acts 8:14-17 proves the contrary is true. 

       Acts 8:14-17

"14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John :

"15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost :

"16 (For as yet he has fallen upon none of them :only they were baptized in the name of Jesus) 

"17 then laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost ". 

  People who holds to the argument that tongue has ceased with the apostles say, "The apostles received the Holy Ghost on the  day of Pentecost, and then they were able to pass on to others . But those folks in turn could not pass the Holy Ghost on to anyone else. 

    

 

 The people contend, "that's the reason Philip didn't try to pass the Holy Ghost on to the Samaritans after he got them saved.  Philip couldn't minister the baptism of the Holy Spirit to them because he wasn't the original apostles.  So Peter and John had to come down to Samaria to lay hands on the New believers to receive the Holy Ghost. But when the apostles died, the Ability to minister the baptism in the Holy Spirit to others ceased!"
