Tongues at Corinth: Languages, not Ecstasies!

Moreover, this same word gloossa is again used to described the Pentecost Sunday tongues’ phenonomen. There, the inspired Luke himself tells us, it refers to the then-spoken languages of the Parthians, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamians, Judaeans, Cappadocians, Pontians, Asians, Phrygians, Pamphylians, Egyptians, Libyans, Cyrenians, Romans, Cretians, and Arabians. Acts 2:8-11. The conclusion, then, is overwhelmingly convincing. Even in I Cor. 14:21, the word gloossa again means a spoken foreign language — and not a meaningless ecstatic utterance!
