Bible Question:
Susan, I agree with you that Acts 2:4 shows the initial time people were filled with the Spirit after His going to heaven that people spoke in tongues. However,Cornelius and company in Acts 11, is the only other time where we see speaking in tongues at salvation. Luke 1:41 and 67 shows me two people filled with the Spirit - no tongues are mentioned ... also, at least once in the OT (Exo 31:3) ... plus Acts 4:8 and other NT passages don't mention the speaking in tongues when one is filled with the Spirit.

Bible Answer: Greetings Searcher, Acts 8:18 it says that Simon "saw" that these people received the Spirit. What did he see that proved to Him that these people received the Spirit? Also there is no Luke 1:41 or 67 - what scripture did you mean? prayon |
