Searcher, Act 2:2-4: "Suddenly, a sound like a violently blowing wind came from the sky and filled the whole house where they were staying. Tongues that looked like fire appeared to them. The tongues arranged themselves so that one came to rest on each believer"(not apostle). "And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Here is a visible sign of the gift they were to receive. They saw cloven tongues, like as of fire (Acts 2:3), and it sat - ekathise, not they sat, those cloven tongues, but he, that is the Spirit (signified thereby), rested upon each of them, as he is said to rest upon the prophets of old (MHCC) If tongues was not the initial sign I am curious what was? What do you think Simon saw that convinced him that the Holy Spirit was given? Acts 9: NO it does not say that he spoke immediately in tongues, however, the majority of the places in the bible state that "the Holy Spirit came to them, and they began to talk in other languages" (Act 19:6) " Act 10:45-47 All the believers who were circumcised and who had come with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured on people who were not Jewish. They heard these non-Jewish people speaking in other languages and praising God. Then Peter said, "No one can refuse to baptize these people with water. They have received the Holy Spirit in the same way that we did." Act 19:6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came to them, and they began to talk in other languages and to speak what God had revealed. In all these instances (Acts 2,10, 19) all state that they were baptized with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues. Therefore it is probable that Paul spoke in tongues when he was baptized with the Holy Spirit or it would be a violation of the Principle of Context in bible interpretation (Knowing Scriptue by R. E. Sproul). Upon baptism the Holy Spirit enters you but you receive a measure of the Holy Spirit in the new birth but you receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Acts 8 shows us that the 2 baptisms do not happen at the same time in most cases. They are 2 seperate entities. prayon |

What about the other salvation experiences - are you saying the Holy Spirit was not recieved? Starting with ... did the 3,000 at Penecost not receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38)? I would rather prophecy than speak in a tongue. |
