If it is still around where is it? What people call tongues today has no similarity with tongues in the Bible.

the gifts were around long before and are still around in spite of the apostolic era, not because of or as a result of some religious idealism. there are 76 seperate and distinct gifts listed in the bible, if you know what to look for, and where to look for them.
they started early in the biblical era, as trhey are described, but have been around for millenia before then. the far east has taught them for over ten thousand years, while the bible is only from about four thousand bce. anyone who thinks otherwise has not bothered to learn what they are, let alone how they can be achieved.
it takes years to master any gift, and then only if you are meant to manifest it. not everyone is ready to have any gift, and no one will have them all at the same time. rarely does anyone have more than three or four in a lifetime.

They are all still around. What would make you think they passed? When I got the gift of tongues it was awesome. I can pray for hours in tongues but not long in English. Prophecy and healing are still happening today as well. Every good and perfect thing comes from God. Healing, prophecy and tongues are from God and are good. To not believe would be to put God in a box and put limits on Him.

People still receive gifts from God. We don't all necessarily get one of those you mentioned but we are all gifted with something. Most people just don't use their gifts. I have a friend who has prophetic dreams. I have another friend who has the gift of encouragement. And yet another friend who has the gift of discernment. Different people get different gifts

Schizoid delusional mental disorder are still around. The good news is that they can be treated. Not with magic healing but with zyprexa (use only as directed, see a doctor)/

These gifts are alive and well today as they were in Paul's time. All that is required is faith in Jesus Christ, surrendering to Him, and praying for the Holy Spirit to enliven, teach, and bless you. Pray to the Spirit to show you the gifts you possess. He is there for you.
