Certainly there was some miraculous language-speaking occurring in the Apostolic Church, and perhaps also at Corinth –until the completion of Scripture (probably around 70 A.D.). On the other hand, in those days too, even the Apostles themselves sometimes needed interpreters. I Cor. 14:5,27-28. For even the multilingual Paul (and Barnabas) apparently did not understand the Lycaonian dialect. Acts 14:11-14. Indeed, Peter too apparently sometimes used Mark as his interpreter. I Pet. 5:13 (cf. Eusebius’s Hist. Eccl. III:39:15).
Upon the inscripturation of the last book of the Bible, God’s special revelation terminated. This means that all miracles –which had indeed always been focussed toward and upon the completion of Holy Writ! — had then served their purpose. Thenceforth and until Christ’s Second Coming, “those former ways of God’s revealing His will unto His people” are “now ceased!” Thus the Westminster Confession of Faith 1:1f –doctrinal standard of Presbyterian and Reformed Churches worldwide.
