Can someone prove that the 3000 who responded to Peter's message on the Day of Pentecost spoke with other tongues?
We have Luke carefully recording that the
120 spoke with tongues of
men on the Day of Pentecost, yet
3000 people speak in an unknown tongue and it gets no attention at all? He is careful to mention those receiving Peter's message were baptized but no mention of tongues. In chapter 4 another
2000 men believe, so that the number of men now believing the gospel has increased to 5000 men, yet once again
no mention is made of anyone speaking in other tongues. Why would you be so careful to record a phenomena that happened among
120, yet
5000 men speaking in an unknown tongues gets no attention?
In
Acts 10 Luke is careful to record that a
household of people spoke with other tongues. In
Acts 19 Luke is careful to record that
12 disciples of John spoke with other tongues. Yet, this same Luke
doesn't consider it newsworthy that 5000 people have spoken with other tongues? Even in
Acts 8:17 where a
multitude of people received the gift of the Holy Spirit when Peter and John laid hands on them, Luke once again
sees no reason to get excited enough about such a multitude all speaking with other tongues
to bother recording it. I find this amazing!
I have yet to hear anyone give a satisfactory explanation as to how sinners can be so miraculously
transformed and
used of God to bring deliverance to others, over a period of years,
yet not even be born again according to the "not born again until you speak in tongues" teaching.
