There is more evidence, during the beginning of the NT church age, to identify it than there is against it. No theologian will dispute that Acts was the beginning of the NT church.
Acts 2:4 "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
Acts 10:45 "And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. (46) For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,"
Acts 19:6 "And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied." |
And there's enough there to say that a way people knew they had received the Spirit, was that the person spoke in tongues.
There's not enough there to say "that's the only way to receive the Spirit."
Why is that so hard to understand?
