1 | Are tongues a world language or not? | 1 Corinthians | Aspiring Overseer | 71010 | ||
I whole hearted agree that God is not the author of confusion and that is why I urge you to re-examine Acts chapters 1 and 2. The 120 could not have received the gift of tongues, as you claim, otherwise it would have been sheer confusion! The "all" refers to "all of the apostles. Verses Acts 1:26 through Acts 2:15 and Acts 2:43 apply. The last verse of Acts chapter 1 is speaking of the Apostles. Acts 2:1 continues to speak of the Apostles when it says "they were all together in one place". In verse Acts 2:3 the "tongues as of fire..rested on each one of them", again referring to the Apostles. Acts 2:7 also mentions that those who heard them speak in tongues "were amazed and marveled, saying, "Why are not all these who are speaking Galileans?". Not all of the disciples were Galilean and only the Apostles received the Holy Spirit in this way, thus Acts 2:7. Is this helpful? AO |

Is this helpful? No! The Bible tells us that there were over fourteen foreigners representing many nations, speaking different languages. Yet each person heard 'the disciples' praising God in their own language. You see, the miracle was in the hearing of the people. (see Acts 2:1-13). |

"over fourteen foreigners representing many nations" 14 foreigners doesn't matter. It's the number of nations that's the question. In vv. 9-11 is where it says how many areas were represented and yes, there were more than 12. But what if each of them talked in more than one foreign tongue? I tend to agree with Aspiring: the Scripture seems to point to the apostles themselves in 2:1 because it says, "...he was numbered with the eleven apostles. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, THEY were all..." (1:26-2:1) (emphasis added). There were no chapters or verses, or even the same punctuations we have now, in the Hebrew, so we need to very carefully read all the context. It takes a lot of time but I'm sure you agree. Hope that helps. J. P. |
