Bible Question: why do people believe that you must speak in tongues in order to have the spirt where does it say this? |
Bible Answer: In the day of pentecost fully come it was experienced of the Apostles of Christ: c 2:1 ¶ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Ac 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Ac 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. Ac 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Ac 2:5 ¶ And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Ac 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. Ac 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? Ac 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? As a Assemblies of God pentecostal before, I saw many things like that to our brothers and sisters. Speaking in tounge. I almost experience that also. But Nolan is correct nowehere in the bible that speaking in tounge is a requirements to have Holy Spirit. If it going to happened to you (speaking in tongue) you must be very thankful becuase you experienced the things that too few could be experience including the apotles that was mentioned in the Bible. But it is not a requirements. Thank you, God bless, Johnny |
