Bible Question: Where is "Gift of the Holy Ghost following with Tongues" in the Bible? Why doesn't say the 3000 in Acts 2 spoke in tongues ... in fact only twice in Acts, do we see speaking in tongues at the time of salvation. |
Bible Answer: This is the Holy Spirit where the people heard the apostles in their own language. Tongues means languages and it must be understood by all present or be interpreted so all can understand. Tongues are a fruit of the spirit and it is used to edify the word of God. People who speak in "jiberish" non-understandable language by anyone is not edifying the word of God. Acts chapt 2:6-12 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? This was the feast of Penticost held 50 days after the crusifiction of Jesus Christ our passover lamb. The same feast of Penticost was held in Exodus chapter 19 and 20. Is the giving of the law at MT Sinai 50 days after the passover lamb was slain in Egypt. Now in Act 2:37-38 the law is planted in the heart. Prophesied by Jerimiah in Jerimiah Chapter 31:31-33. Hebrews Chapter 8:8-10, Hebrew Chapter 10:15,16. Will be completed when Jesus Christ sets up his kingdom here on Earth. Matthew 10:6. The Lords Prayer. |
