Whats more, we don't we require the appearance of a tongue-like flame above the head of everyone as a true sign of infilling? It happened in the book of Acts......

Hey Randy...........PREACH!!!!!!!!! *B-3 Hammond* You the man bro, keep it up!
We had a HG blow-out this weekend...including, a girl who started to speak in tongues in the pew where two Philipino young men sitting in front of her understood what she said...they told our Pastor she was speaking their language!!!!!!!
Re: The Key to Salvation is... the Book of Acts...
Several years ago, a preacher friend of mine was sick. Very sick. Another brother who had been working among a tribe of American Indians out west and I went to pray for and visit the sick brother. As we prayed, the Lord spoke a word of prophecy to me, that seemed, well, outlandish to me. So I asked the Lord for confirmation. I sat there speaking in tongues as we prayed. The brother who served as a missionary out west spoke up, and said, "You know, Brother, the tongues you are speaking in sounds very much like the Apache Language." That was all the confirmation I needed. I stood up and spoke, "When your enemies think you have fallen, and will not rise, then I will raise you up, and send you from this place to minister the Gospel to the American Indians". The brother was healed, and, a few months later, resigned his church and went west. He had a very fruitful ministry in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado, working among the Indians.
Enjoying the thread, RevRandy.

Re: The Key to Salvation is... the Book of Acts...
Brother Price;397688]In truth, the truth of salvation is found in Ephesians 2:8-9, the most ignored scriptures in Pentecost today...
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. {Ephesians 2:8-9}
I can't speak for every last preacher in Pentecost today, for certain. But I can speak for the many I've known. And I have yet to meet one who hasn't preached God's grace and unmerited favor. I have yet to meet one who was afraid to quote Ephesians 2... All of the preachers I have known have been grateful for the Grace that saved them and us. Amazing Grace... how sweet the sound. I don't know anyone who has ignored this scripture.
In fact, this scripture was written to people who were still trying to keep the Old Testement law, and expecting everyone to do so... the "works" referred to in this passage have nothing to do with our being Baptised in that beautiful name of Jesus when we've repented.
None of us can merit our salvation, and I've never heard a preacher preach that you could.
The Acts of the Apostles are written so we know how, when, where, why, who, and the like... when the church was born. How the Jews and Gentiles were both brought through the same door with the same keys.
