Your sentence leaves me wondering what you are saying: "At the risk of being an outcast by my oneness brothers, is there scripture that states a single person receiving the HG with the evidence of tongues."
Are you making the point that only married people are said to have experienced tongues as evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost?
Here is a Scripture that directly identifies tongues as evidence that the gift of the Holy Ghost was poured out on the new Gentile believers:
( Acts 10:44-46) "While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 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." |
My question is "is there scripture that states
a single person receiving the HG with the evidence of tongues"? I have had this talk with several of my oneness brothers which leads to hurt feelings and leaves me on the outside because they fill I'm tring to prove something different. But I'm not. It started with about 120 and went from there.
In my search I have not been able to find scripture which gives an example of ONE person (by themself) in the Bible receiving the HG with tongues following.
There are several places in the Word which shows examples of GROUPS, HOUSEHOLDS, THEM, THEY, etc.. receiving the HG and some places it talks about speaking in tongues.
WHY not ONE person by themself. I have come to beleive that it shows there is no indifferance by God to whom receives the HG. It's not just for one person (thus NO ONE person is singled out in scripture). It is as the Word states "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call." My God is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
When we talk to people about the HG with the evidence of speaking in tongues it's hard to witness to them about tongues because their understanding of scripture is not as your's or mine. They are very smart yet their eyes are closed.
I was in no way speaking about only married people getting it. LOL
I have been asked the very question I ask before when witnessing. Show me ONE person by themself who received the HG with tongues? I can not. If there is I would like to know to help me next time.
