I wouldn't think though that "tongues" and "interpretation of tongues" was of a human language. If you look at the context of the passage in Corinthians that you quoted from, then you'll find that all the other gifts are supernatural ones-and so learning such languages e.t.c. would be misplaced in the midst of them.
NOW miracles and tongues would not naturally go together. I'm not sure why anybody would put them together. Paul said (badly quoted!) that he wished that ALL would speak in tongues.........and ofcourse in the Pentecostal Churches it seems that almost all do speak in tongues, but tongues has various purposes, but I've never heard of it being classed as a miracle.
interesting!
God Bless you all!!

Hey Mr Fireman
How did you grow and change from a boy to a man?
It happened!
Also this is Not a Christian Forum I dont know how many times I have to tell people that, its a website like any other website geared towards all types
As for writing it off. you didnt read correctly, I said
There could be a possibility it never happened?
Until you can allow yourself to consider that,... your idea of it happening is nothing more than just an airing of an opinion to keep alive the religious belief you have formed
I would recommend you go read
