I know pentecostals are quick to defend against this, but there are some, as you all know, that feel that just the apostles were the tongue talkers in Acs 2, and 1 proof of that is in the following verse, and I consider this particular verse to be a worthy consideration. Maybe it has been brot up B4 in another thread, I dunno.Here it is:
Acts 1:7 7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
So which is more likely, they figured the 12 were probably all Galileans, or they thot the 120 were all Galileans?
SOME interesting thots..Jesus told the apostles to wait for the Holy Spirit ( Acts 1:2-5) Then two angels spoke to the apostles and called them “ men of Galilee”. ( Acts 1:11)
Joseph of Arimathea and Mary, Martha, and Lazarus of Bethany were not Galileans, and who knows how many of the 120.... |
Yeah, Shaggy I have heard this idea before. It is touted and loved by cessationists.
Truth is, while I have some issues with tongues as they are often practiced in todays Pentecostal churches, I am not at all ready to give credence to cessationism either. I do know Christians of both persuasions and do not think it speaks of their faith or their standing in the body.
Also, if only for the Apostles and a few they anointed, what was that discussion in Corinthians all about?
