How did they know that they had received the Holy Ghost? Verse 46 reveals the answer. "For they heard them speaking in tongues."
2. Paul wrote that tongues was a sign to unbelievers. "Tongues" was the sign that God was in that place. The average unbeliever probably came into the church doubting, well everything. Tongues was A sign, not the only sign. The believers good conduct and the preaching of the word of God was also a sign. Combine all of these elements, and the result is beautiful. |
How can we know that this "speaking in tongues" phenomena that we witness in our churches is the same thing as that recorded in
Acts 2 (and probably
Acts 10)?
They don't really line up.
