1 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151080 | ||
Angel, Thanks for sticking with this discussion. I can see that you've put some time into your efforts. Before we continue our discussion, let me clarify a few things. I'm not saying that ALL were convinced. What I meant was that tongues were the sign by which the apostles were convinced that the Holy Spirit had fallen on the Gentiles in Acts chapter 10. Secondly, to keep things clear let's not confuse water baptism with baptism with the Holy Spirit. In two documented cases in Acts, Baptism with the Holy Spirit preceded water baptism. Acts 10:44-48 is a great example. The important question is whether Baptism with the Holy Spirit and the initial evidence of speaking with tongues is for ALL generations. Now, getting back to 1 Corinthians 13:8-10. It's certainly possible to interpret that as Jesus's coming. Point remains the same. Neither heaven, or Jesus's second coming are past tense, so since the "perfect" has not come, it would seem to indicate that tongues hasn't ceased according to 1 Corinthians 13:8-10. |

2 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Searcher56 | 151096 | ||
Huron, God's day to you, Three points - The promise of Acts 2:39, IF related to verses 17-21, could be viewed as the promise of Israel, based the the prophecy of Joel. - Since no gift of the Spirit is given to all (1 Cor 12-14), it cannot be initial evidence of the Holy Spirit. - Tongues have no bearing perfect coming, while prohecy and knowledge do (1 Cor 13:8-10). ... I have posts on all three of these. Searcher |

3 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151101 | ||
Searcher, -Point #1 Interesting viewpoint. Would Hebrew believers then in your opinion still speak in tongues? Peter did not say that the prophecy was fulfilled, and thus no longer relevant. Contrast this with Matthew 21:4,5; 27:35 speaking of one time fulfilled events. #2 In Acts 2:16, Acts 10:45-46, and in Acts 19:6 speaking in tongues was the initial evidence that they looked at to determine that they had in fact been baptized with the Holy Spirit. Notice the use of the word "for" in Acts 10:46. Point #3 True, but when is the "perfect coming", and if it hasn't come yet is tongues still relevant. Thanks for your consideration! Huron |

4 | Holy Spirit / Tongues for Today? | Acts 2:39 | Searcher56 | 151120 | ||
Huron, God's day to you. Please read my posts and respond there, except for Acts 2:39. On point 1 ... Where does Acts 2:39 (or context) say anything about speaking in tongues. The Bible doesn't say new believers (2:41) spoke in tongues. I think Joel's prophecy will be fufilled for Israel, only. For point #2 Acts 10:46, read my post 151116. For point #3, read my post 115093. Again, tongues is not related to the perfect coming. Read my post 116386 for more on tongues. Tongues was the initial evidence twice of many salvation occurances.

On point #1, you have to read from Acts 2:4 through Acts 2:38 and 2:39 together. Pay special attention to 2:16 and 2:17,33. | ||||||
6 | Did the 12 (or 120) believe on Penecost? | Acts 2:39 | Searcher56 | 151195 | ||
I have read the passage and see the 12 (or 120) spoke in tongues long after they believed. Or do you think that they believed on Penetcost? | ||||||
7 | Did the 12 (or 120) believe on Penecost? | Acts 2:39 | Huron | 151260 | ||
Interesting question! First of all, I would have said 120 if you had asked me yesterday how many where there. Now, I'm not sure either way. Secondly, I think that they had believed for quite a while before they spoke in tongues. I had heard two years from the resurrection of Christ to the day of Pentecost. Not sure where that comes from. What do you think? |
