I think so too. It is more of an "I'm thinking out loud" type thread but I'm enjoying it.
Today my wife & daughter talked on this a little bit and the thought we discussed was this...
Peter said "this is that".
The THAT he spoke of was Joel's prophecy.
Joel said...
Quote:
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Joel 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Joel 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Nowhere in that discourse is tongues mentioned. When Peter said this is that what we have been taught would lead us to believe that Joel had said "I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall speak in tongues." because of the heavy emphasis on the tongues. It's like nothing else exists.
But... I am headed to the church for Praise Team Practice. So I need to get.
But I am enjoying the volley of ideas that my "thinking out loud" is inviting.
