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. > Whoever 'believes' will speak with new tongues. The only people > who do speak with tongues are those who do not believe. 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?
