Tongues is a legitimate gift recorded very well in the book of acts, and even took place as the Centurion and his household were receiving the Holy Spirit.
Acts 10:35-46
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
These words were birthed, as the non-gentiles infront of the Apostle received the Holy Spirit which opened up salvation for the gentiles and the jews, and not the jews alone.
Two things all believers are sent ones as apostles sends them out two by two. family by family. twelve meaning the full authority as it is written is used in parables Twelve a remnant of the 27 listed
Not acceding the work of the Holy Spirit to the apostles' messengers (UPS, Fed X, Uber, Amazon, or my wife's favorite apostle sending me on a mission to the supermarket with a list of ten items and not to add or subtract. On completing the mission the apostles reward . . Three peanut butter cookies with extra peanuts and a cold glass of milk .
The other thing, tongues (dialect words with meaning)
follow not something that can be sought after. like those who seek after signs and wonders before they would believe. They Like Nicodemus before conversion they made Jesus into a circus seal .Do some magic work a miracle then when we see it with our own eyes we will believe for one half a second
The
law . . . . .
John 4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see
signs and
wonders, ye will not
believe
The witness of the above l
aw. . . . John 6:30 They said therefore unto him, What
sign shewest
thou then, that
we may see, and
believe thee? what dost
thou work?

The key to understnding follow not lead as false prophecy
Mark 16:17-19;And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;;They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
In that way some look to the lying's signs as if true prophecy and do not rightly divide or interpret the parable.
Sign as metaphors used in parables again follow according to the power of sola scriptura born again believers can cast out lying spirts all because of the gospel tongue. They shall be challenged by the antichrists another teaching authority other than sola scriptura false prophecy as poison will not kill them
Many have tested the parable and chose the confusion babbling tongue, no understating and literally drank snake venom. Others fall backward slain in the Spirit of judgment
Isaiah 28:13;But the
word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that
they might go, and
fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
