"Speaking in tongues" refers to a miraculous ability some early Christians had enabled them to speak a language without first having learned it. (Acts10:46, New Internation Version) The speaker was easily understood by anyone who knew the language. (Acts 2:4-8) Speaking in tongues was one of the gifts of the holy spirit of that God gave to some first-century Christians. - HEBREWS 2:4; 1 CORINTHIANS 12:4, 30.
Where and when did speaking in tongues start.
This miracle first occurred in Jerusalem on the morning of the Jewish Festival of Pentecost in 33 C.E. About 120 of Jesus' disciples were meeting together when "they all became filled with holy spirit and started to speak in different languages." (Acts 1:15; 2:1-4) A large crowd of people "from every nation under heave gathered, and "each one heard them speaking in his own language." - ACTS 2:5, 6.
