diversity?

Someone explain 1 Corinthians 12: 28-30?? What is diversity of tongues? Is it the same as what happened on the day of Pentecost? If so (and if it essential to salvation) why does Paul mention it last, and then later ask do all speak in tongues? I have heard some explanation as a difference in tongues at Pentecost and an unkown tongue.

Re: diversity?

If tongues are not a known language how come those understood what was being said on the day of pentecost....I think it's Acts....

4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

8And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

11Cretes and Arabians
, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

Re: diversity?

I believe "various kinds of tongues" is just a way of referring to the many people who pray in tongues.

In review of Chapter 12, though, Paul makes it clear that there are prayers in tongues and prophetic tongues (with interpretation).

"Various kinds of tongues" could also include "speaking" gifts like prophesy, exhoration, etc...

I did read the article and no offense but in no way did it answer my question. As mentioned in a previous post on the day of Pentecost onlookers heard them speaking in what would have been a foriegn language! There have been numerous missionary accounts of English being spoken!

So, you give validity to the missionary’s accounts. Do you hold the opinion that the unknown languages being spoken in Apostolic churches are not from God? How can you judge such matters?

I'm sorry if my question sounds rude. It is not my intention to be rude.
