Subject: Receive Holy Spirit and NOT speak tongue |
Bible Note: Dear godsaves, You'd also need to reconcile Acts 2:4 - which is a narrative- with the rest of the NT. Of the passage, ask yourself, "Is it, prescriptive or descriptive?" Consider 1 Cor. 12:30: "All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?" 1 Cor. 12:13: "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit."
