In the day of pentecost fully come it was experienced of the Apostles of Christ: c 2:1 ¶ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Ac 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Ac 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. Ac 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Ac 2:5 ¶ And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Ac 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. Ac 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? Ac 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? As a Assemblies of God pentecostal before, I saw many things like that to our brothers and sisters. Speaking in tounge. I almost experience that also. But Nolan is correct nowehere in the bible that speaking in tounge is a requirements to have Holy Spirit. If it going to happened to you (speaking in tongue) you must be very thankful becuase you experienced the things that too few could be experience including the apotles that was mentioned in the Bible. But it is not a requirements. Thank you, God bless, Johnny |

Johnny, Speaking in tongues here is a known language without training. Some say this is unknown ... but they do not know how to read. S | ||||||

Dear Searcher, Greetings in Jesus' name! Brother, your cruise seems to have made you a bit spunky! :-) However, I do agree that, "Speaking in tongues *here* is a known language without training." (emphasis mine) Welcome back! In Christ Jesus, charis |

Dear lovely, Speaking in tongues seemed to be very common among the early believers who were baptized in the Holy Spirit. Nowhere does it say they all spoke in tongues. I, for one, would like all the help I could get so if it is a gift of the Holy Spirit, I welcome it. Other than that, it does not make someone better than someone else or more spiritual. What it does say is this: 1 Corinthians 14:2-4a "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophecieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself;..." From this we understand that it is the Least of the gifts, because it is the only one that is for oneself and not the church at large...but I could use this edification, myself, so I certainly would not be against it. However, it should not be a criteria by which we decide if someone is baptized in the Spirit or not. Hope this is helpful to you. Itiswritten. |

Look again and see it was not common .. only three times in the book os Acts. I rather have the gift prophecy ... tongues is a lesser gift. | ||||||

Dear Searcher, It just seems to me that many of those who were initially baptized in the Holy Spirit spoke in tongues but that is my opinion. That was not the point I was trying to make. We can seek better gifts and that is just fine but I don't believe we get to pick and choose what gifts we will receive. The Lord will give us what He believes we need for whatever task He would have us operate in and of course, I would welcome better gifts, but I certainly would not resist a gift of the Holy Spirit, even if it were deemed a lesser one. To me ANY gift of God is a marvelous thing, and I, for one, need all the help I can get. Itiswritten. |

Scripture ... Acts 2:41; 2:27; 4:4; 8:14-17; 8:34-39; 9:5-19; 10:44-48;16:14-15;16:31-34;19:5-7 ... Your opinion contradicts the Bible and the conversion experiences ... let us look in Acts: -2:41 ... 3,000 saved. The 120 spoke in known languages (2:6 ff) -2:27 ... many daily -4:4 ... 5,000 saved -8:14-17 ... Samaritans -8:34-39 ... Ethopian -9:5-19 ... Paul (tho he spoke in tongues later (1 Cor 13:1)) *10:44-48 Cornelius and his house ... they did speak in tongues -16:14-15 ... Lydia -16:31-34 ... jailer and his house *19:5-7 ... about 12 disciples of John ... they did speak in tongues. There are more accounts during Paul's trips. Only once does it record that tongues was evidenced. I see only other place is Cornelius and his house speaking in tongues. So how can you can many? If God gave me the gift of tongues, I would not resist it S |

Dear Searcher, I don't understand why you say that I am contradicting Scripture. You may note many circumstances but you forget 1 Corinthians 14, for example :From this and from what I see today, tongues is usually not known to those speaking [unless interpretation is given] or to those within the hearing of them in the church setting...though it can be in a known tongue. You are entitled to your opinion and I just happen to disagree with you and I do not believe I am contradicting the Scripture. |

Read Acts again ... very few spoke in tongues. If a church violates 1 Cor 14:27-28, by having many speak at once or skipping the interpetation, they are violating the Word of God. In 14:5, what would Paul rather have them do? S |
