Subject: Are tongues a world language or not? |
Bible Note: Tim, 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 |
