Acts 2:2....2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,(not a wind, but the SOUND of a wind) and it filled all the house where they were sitting.


We have heard preachers all our life say it was a wind...that is not the truth.

It was only a SOUND of a wind in both passages. That was a miraculous "sign" that Jesus gave in John 3 of how to identify the actual outpouring of the Holy Ghost for the 1st time in history.

Read it carefully....

So is every one that is born of the Spirit.


Now look at what happened next...Acts 2:41


Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.


You see the fulfillment of the the Spirit birth AND the Water birth in Acts 2

I've always understood it to be imagery and not actually wind (as of) or even the actual sound of wind. It is the same as Matthew 3:16 "...he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove...." It wasn't an actual dove (like a), but imagery of gentleness, the dove being the most gentle of birds.
