The believers received the gift of tongues when the Holy Spirit fell upon them at Pentecost, and they began speaking of the mighty deeds of God in other languages.

The book of Acts is all about “action”! The divine order, modeled by Jesus, is to do first, then teach. He didn’t just preach theory, He lived incarnationally. He also ordered those that were His, to wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, because that’s where the power for action comes from!
