Speaking In Tongues Does Not Equal Salvation.

The men of Israel.(Acts 2:22) But as individuals or as a group? I say as a group and this is perfectly consistent with scripture for the men of Israel as a group were directly responsible for the crucifixion. But, as individuals I doubt the 3000 who converted were all directly responsible for the crucifixion, but they were part of the house of Israel which was responsible.

Those who crucified Jesus were the children OF those who crucified every
prophet God had sent under the old covenant. The children said if they had
been back in the days of the prophets, they would not have killed them. But
Jesus told them they would fill up the cup of the wrath of God. He knew they
would crucify him. They were OF those who didn't believe the prophets!

They didn't believe Jesus was the Messiah. They were destroyed at the end
of that age of law-keeping and animal sacrifices. God poured out His wrath for
three and one-half yrs, until Jerusalem was utterly desolate! He destroyed
their city and their temple. The church had left Jerusalem because they heard
Jesus say that when they saw the armies surrounding Jerusalem, to get out.
He even gave a little "space of grace" for them to get out. Those that believed
Jesus WORDS got out and fled to safety. A remnant was saved. That's all God
needs today! A remnant to believe and obey the gospel of Jesus Christ! Jesus
Christ the same yesterday, and today and forever!

We had better believe Jesus words today because he told his disciples that the
words he spake unto them were "spirit and they are life"! Jesus words are still
important today.
We had better not only read them, but believe and obey them. He left simple
instructions with the Apostles. Instructions so simple, a little child could under
stand. He gave the Apostles a kingdom, just as he said his Father had given him.
It was to pass on to those that were afar off, even as many as the Lord their
God would call.
Thank You, Lord God, for including me and mine, and others!
