Bible Note: If the gift of tongues is in the bible. And we know that it is. And if we would determine "Can I, or How Can I, recieve this gift?" Then we must look at the incidences of believers recieving it in the book of Acts where it began. If these people seeing and hearing the tongues (which is specifically points out that they did hear) asked? what is the meaning of this.. and if Peter in answering them says.. the promise it to you and your children and all that are afar off, then I would simply point out that the logical mind is going to assume that the gift of tongues would be included in the promise along with this Baptism of the Holy Spirit for it was that manifestation that made them ask in the first place.... Acts 2:11-12 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? When Peter answers them, (and he specifically answers them who because they saw them speaking in tongues, said these men are full of new wine) he starts with.. Acts 2:14-18 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: The inclusion of the prophesying and demonstration of the gifts of the Spirit (tongues would be included) Has to therefore be part of the "Promise" which he claims this is a prophesy of that is available not just to the 120 but all those there, and their children and them that are afar off, (that would include me no doubt). I do not go beyond what it says, but I fear God too much to change what it says and remove the promise of the Holy Spirit to be exclusive of the prophesy of Joel. This indeed "is that." |
