Among the gifts of the Spirit the apostle enumerates in 1 Corinthians 12:10-14:30 ,, "divers kinds of tongues" and the "interpretation of tongues." This "gift" was a different manifestation of the Spirit from that on Pentecost, although it resembled it in many particulars. Tongues were to be "a sign to them that believe not."
