Commentary on Acts 10:46
They heard the Gentiles 'speak with tongues, and magnify God.' Speaking in tongues (languages) echoed Pentecost (Acts 2:4), providing audible confirmation of the Spirit's presence. The purpose was magnifying (praising) God - worship in the Spirit's power. This convinced Jewish witnesses that these Gentiles had genuinely received the Spirit. From a Reformed perspective, tongues served a sign function in Acts (2:4, 10:46, 19:6), authenticating the Spirit's coming to new groups (Jews, Gentiles, John's disciples). Magnifying God is the Spirit's primary fruit - glorifying God in worship.
