According to Acts 2:5+6 there were men witnessing the utterings.
These men were from many nations, each nation having a different language.
"Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and
were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his
own language." Acts 2:8 (KJV). "And how hear we every man in our own tongue,
wherein we were born?" Acts 2:4.  The gift of tongues the disciples 
received was the ability to speak in other languages.

Are you saying that a believer who has not spoken in tongues,
languages he/she has not learned, that he/she is not a believer, and
consequently, cannot be saved?
