The scriptures speak for themselves.. at Pentecost they were TELLING the works of God... the largest missionary endeavor in history... and then Peter..... speaks to the unbelievers collectivly to make plain unto them what they were seeing....

but this was NOT A PENTECOSAL style gathering... no speaking in tongues

Paul said that NO MAN WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD them had they been speaking in tongues... argue with the book
The scriptures DO speak for themselves. They were praising God in tongues...languages they did not know but others there did.

It was NOT just someone teaching a lesson to perfect the saints. This was a church gathering which blows your limited paradigm of what can or should always and only happen in a church service

He broke out of that box a long time ago. Stop trying to put Him back in.

Glad you thought it was cute, but I wasn't kidding. You've made up your mind on how God does things and anything that doesn't fit into that "box" is contrary to sound scripture (according to you).

Praxaes.. please show me where they were praising God in tongues...... I am waiting for that scripture....

The tongues were for one purpose.. evangelism...... thats it.....

They were commanded to reach all nations.. on this ONE DAY in Jerusalem all nations would gather for Pentecost..... this was the opportunity to reach every nation with the gospel..... this was the purpose of tongues... not for it to look like some Holy Ghost campmeeting..... it just wasnt the case

They heard ALL OF THEM telling the works of God,, this is Evangelism.....

Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

They heard them ALL not just Peter telling the WORKS OF GOD,, these people were not in PRAISE.. they were in Evangelism with a supernatural ability to witness in other languages.....

First evidence of the Holy Ghost... and ye shall be witnesses when the Holy Ghost comes upon you.. and this is EXACLY what they did....

Please show me the word PRAISE or anything close to it in Acts 2

Where were you when you received the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues for the first time?

Re: Biblical guide for a "church service"
We were having Bible Study in our home... and they were teaching that if you repented and were baptized in Jesus Name that you would receive the Holy Ghost... so I repent ask to be baptized in our tub right them.... and I received the Holy Ghost just as promised.... I didn't actually speak in unknown tongues till several years later... but I obeyed Acts 2:38 and according to that promise,... I received the Holy Ghost that night
