Why did God decide to remove the flames from the list of things that happen when the Spirit shows up? And the windy noise? These would be much harder to fake.

Yes, they were things that seemed to be tongues of fire, not necessarily actual fire, but so? It was something visible. That's how it was described. They separated and landed on their heads! I haven't seen anything like that happen lately. If anyone else has, that's great, but that would open up a whole set of questions: why is it so rare? Are there literally just a few dozen or so true believers in the world?

WOW Timmy great Question! All I know is that I expeirenced a Change in my life after Speaking in Tounges.For me I did not Know what speaking in tounges was it just happened to me while I was Praying before I was even introduced to Pentecostalism.I know You can't make a doctrine of expeirence,However I saw in Scripture where this is a Biblical expierence.
