NASB | Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:4 And they were all filled [that is, diffused throughout their being] with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues (different languages), as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out [clearly and appropriately]. |
Subject: No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? |
Bible Note: Debbe, I myself am Spirit-baptized and try to keep filled. However, I find n o scripture for the belief thatall the gifts are received when one is baptized. Paul says in 1 cor 14:1 that we should desire the gifts and that we should especially seek to prophesy.Then 12:30 implies we don't have all the gifts but should desire the "best" gifts. There is no biblical teaching that all the gifts are received when saved or baptized, but praise God we can be led to seek certain ones and the Spirit Himself decides which ones we get, 1 Cor 12,11.
