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: Absolutely Steve this is one of the most abused areas of the Bible. Man has taken something God meant for worship and service and turned it into a parlor show. I think many will have much to explain because of this. In my years I have seen the gifts abused and misused in just about every way I can imagine. Flesh has been allowed to run rampant. At some of these big name revivals there is more flesh than anything else. I know one revival that is filled with the Spirit of Carnality and I can’t believe God or the Holy Spirit are even present, yet there are these supposedly wondrous manifestations of the Holy Spirit. I have a word for that, “Baloney”! Before anyone asks no I won’t name the revival. Ask God he will show you. |
