AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
Bible Question:
Does the reference found in Acts 2:4 stating that after they received the Holy Spirit they spoke in tongues mean to us that "if we do not speak in tongues we indeed do NOT and have NOT received the gift of the holy spirit? Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, godsavs, Acts 2:4 says they were filled with the Holy Spirit ... nothing about receiving gift of the Holy Spirit, which we see in verse 38. I pointed out in post 116386 that receiving gift (singular) of the Holy Spirit is not about speaking in tongues ... and it is one of the many gifts (plural) He gives.
