Really???
The Disciples were filled with the holy Spirit on Pentecost. Acts 2:4
They were filled again at Acts 4:31.
Acts 4:1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, 2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. 4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
New believers converted from Judaism. This arrest gave them no time to be water baptized.
This was written by Luke to give account that Peter was speaking by the Holy Spirit in him.
Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
There was no supernatural infilling again in order for him to do that. There was no shaking of the place or him for that matter. Moving on... to your out of context quote.... because it pertains only to new believers from that reference to "their company" and the people that heard the apostles were the ones that were speaking thus.
Acts 4:23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: 25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? 26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, 28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. 29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
And so the tehy that you read next is pertaining to the new believers that just got done speaking.
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. 32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
This all pertains to new believers since obviously, the apostles were not laying their own possessions at their own feet as they were not the ones living in that area where the new believers find themselves in one accord after receiving the promise of the Spirit at their salvation without water baptism too.
And there is a purpose for tongues other than in the congregation with an interpretation; prayer.
1Co 14:14-15 (RSV) For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. What am I to do? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.
Out of context again. Paul stated that of he was speaking in tongues, he prays that somebody else will interpret that tongue for he would have understanding since it is unfruitful even to himself until it was.
1 Corinthians 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
That is why Paul was exhorting the gift of prophecy over the gift of tongues because the gift of tongues is not a stand alone gift because it needs to come with interpretation to even be fruitful for the tongue speaker.
Rom 8:26 (NKJV) Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
This is certainly NOT any kind of "falling away."
I rely only on the KJV for the actual meat and meaning of His words.

Scroll down to verse 26 and click on the last two Greek words in the Greek text and they should give:
stenagmos = "from stenazw - stenazo
4727; a sigh:--groaning."
alaletos = "from a - a
1 (as a negative particle) and a derivative oflalew - laleo
2980; unspeakable:--unutterable, which cannot be uttered."
That means the sighing and the groaning is not being uttered; hence no sound at all.
If we read on to verse 27, we see how the unspeakable intercessions of the Holy Spirit is given to the Father, and that is by ANOTHER knowing the mind of the Spirit.
Romans 8:6 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. KJV
This clue to the identity of this "he" is found in scripture even though it should be obvious since it is not the Father presenting intercessions to Himself..
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and
is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. KJV
That is why "itself" was used instead of Himself in the KJV, because the Holy Spirit cannot give His intercessions Himself for they are unspeakable. The KJV is not shy in using the pronoun Himself for the Holy Spirit.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. KJV
ALL modern Bibles testify that the Holy Spirit cannot speak for Himself or on His own initiative or on His own authority as He can only speak what He hears. You go ahead and check all your Bible versions and they will tell you that which is why the translators of the modern Bibles goofed in their version of Romans 8:26-27.
God's gift of tongues are for speaking unto the people; the Holy Spirit CANNOT use it as a form of prayer language for uttering His own intercessions because they are unspeakable.
This babbling tongue that never comes with interpretation is promoted by seeking to receive the Holy Spirit "again". It is apostasy. You cannot receive the Holy Spirit "again" when He is already in you by faith in Jesus Christ. That is the falling away from the faith done in hypocrisy when believers say that He is in them, and yet they seek to receive Him again after a sign of tongues which is not by faith in Jesus Christ.
"You can't always get what you want.
