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]. |
Bible Question: If a person does not speak in tongues does it mean they don't have the Holy Spirit in them? I know that speaking in tongues is a gift but is there another view? |
Bible Answer: In 1 Cor. 13, the phrase "that which is perfect" refers to the Bible. The Greek usage of a neuter gender rules out that it is talking about Jesus or God in any form. The gift of tongues was a sign gift that is no longer needed. Tom J |
