Chris.
The speaking with new languages is a very broad and special gift. It is not just narrowly limited to the Pentecostal/Charismatic Church phenomenon (which can be accepted Biblically if executed correctly). There are other forms of speaking in new languages, some by miracle and others by education. The main purpose of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is to fulfil the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to all the Nations.
