In Acts 2:3, the Holy Spirit came what seemed to be tongues of fire:

3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came
to rest on each of them.

This observable phenomenon only mentioned once in Acts. Subsequently, all records were plain.

Acts 8:17 – Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

Acts 10:44 – While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.

Acts 19:6 – When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. (NIV)

    why do those who get it today seldom go and preach to sinners outside of the church building. We speak of tongues but those who received the baptism spoke of Jesus and salvation. We have missed it.
