Secondly, the standard pentecostal position on the 120 is that they comprised the entire Christian Church at the time of Acts 1, this then expanded to 3,120 at Acts 2. My point in rebuttal is that as not every Christian was a Galilean, therefore the number 120 could not have comprised the entire Christian Church, and I'm right as they at that time numberd 500 people (1st Corinthians 15:5-8) at the minimum from all over the land including non-Galileans.
Where are you getting this information on "the standard pentecostal position?" I doubt any Apostolic would deny that more than 120 had believed on the resurrection of Christ. It was 120 who returned to Jerusalem to await the promise of the father.

Then I thirdly made the point that according to Acts 2:7 all of the tongues speakers were Galileans, therefore logically as the Church included non-Galileans, and yet Oneness Pentecsotals also claim that 120 spoke in tongues at Pentecost, this number being the entire Church, you have a contradiction from a Oneness perspective.
I'm sorry, I still don't follow. You are saying that it is impossible for 120 Galileans to be in one place at the same time? Out of all the people that had witnessed Christ's resurrection, are you saying that 120 of those could NOT have been Galileans, or what?
