Bible Question (short): Why doesn't the Bible tell about the 3K? |
Question (full): Since you quoted Acts 2:38 about receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit and I believe said that THE sign was speaking in tongues, I asked if the 3000 spoke in tongues. You didn't answer the question. Why doesn't the Bible say they spoke in tongues? Since God mentioned those who were saved spoke in tongues at salvation only twice (Acts 10:46, 19:6) ... I think it is forcing Scripture to say we must speak in tongues to prove we are saved. I agree the Paul did not speak in tongues when he recieved the Holy Ghost (Acts 9:6) ... he was filled in verse 19. Also, that he spokes in tongues more than the Corithians (1 Cor 14:18). It was one of his gifts (1 Cor 12:10) which he used in his travels. He could of spoke Greek, which was maybe learned ... but the audience may have ben more receptive if he spoke in their language. Yes, Acts 2:4 says they spoke in tongues ... in a KNOWN language of the listeners (vv 8-11) ... which I see to be consistent in the Bible when tongues are mentioned. Acts 8:18 doesn't mention tongues and is again forcing Scripture (eisegesis) to say Simon what to copy waht the apostles were doing (vv 19-24). |
