1 | Where Does It Say That In Acts? | Acts 2:4 | DocTrinsograce | 148382 | ||
Hi, Kalos... Isn't is also true that in every instance of the manifestation of tongues recorded in Acats that there was great evangelism? Furthermore, if I am not mistaken, in each instance an apostle was present. Even Paul describes nature of this sign in the context of evangelism (1 Cor 14:22). The "private prayer language" appears to come from a different passage. Can you direct me to that passage? I'm one of those that do not see Acts as a source for all Christian normative behavior. Instead, what we see, is the primitive church, in the context of the Greco-Roman era, highly influenced by Judaism. Christianity is not a cultural thing -- instead, it manifests itself in a unity in the midst of cultural distinctives, to the glory of God. Just my two mites. In Him, Doc |

Doc, you said "every instance of the manifestation of tongues recorded in Acats that there was great evangelism" ... it happened thrice, here are Acts 10 and 19. There is a difference. Here the messengers spoke in tongues and in other two accounts, those that heard the message. We don't know how many were in Cornelius' household - so would you call it great. Is 12 great (Acts 19)? Acts 2:41 says three thousand souls and Acts 4:4 says the number of the men came to be about five thousand. I don't see tongues in the latter passage. Searcher |
