Are you denying that speaking in Tongues is not a part of the New Birth??

and if you are...You are Wrong... it is very important for the New Believer to be filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues....which are unknown to the speaker... as they were unknown to those who were in the Upper Room... which were made known to those who did not have the Holy Ghost but was a witness to them by a Supernatural Work of God...

Something I've been musing lately. I've been studying original language some. I'm realizing that some passages don't say quite what I thought they did.

What if the passage describing the day of Pentecost is one of those places that has a different meaning in Greek than in English? What if that meaning can't be reconciled with what's being taught in Pentecostal churches?

Don't really want an answer, just something I've been pondering. There are a few other passages that would completely shatter my world view if they weren't what I thought they were. I've been thinking over how I might handle that.
