BradK - my original question was if there are references in the book of Acts (as opposed to other books)where believers are baptized in the Holy Spirit yet not speaking in tongues. someone is telling me that all baptisms in the Holy Spirit (exclusively in the book of Acts) are evidenced with tongues. he is a United Pentecostal Church minister. what do i tell him? |

Hi vnct There are some questions you need to ask this minister. Understand that the only type of tongue spoken about in Acts, are known languages of the world. Understand also, there are different types of tongues spoken about in chapters 12, and 14 of 1Cor. These questions will avoid any confusion, as to what "he" is speaking about, or advocating. 1) Ask for the list of all these occurrences, so you can study it yourself, that way you can see exactly which ones he is referring to. Then study the book of acts for yourself to see if there are any other places where this occurred, where the speaking in tongues did not take place. (Refer back to the list TIM gave you in his post) 2) Ask the minister, are these tongues, known languages, as on the day of Pentecost, or is it what he would call a heavenly language, (the tongues of angels)? You need for him to clarify what kinds of tongues he is speaking about, in order to verify his claims, because there are two different types of tongues spoken about in Corinthians. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |

I will ask my minister friend what specific types of tongues that he's referring to, whether they are angelic or earthly languages. |
