Tongues & The Unbelievers

[Scott Hutchinson]

ACTS 10:47 would indicate that the Gentiles that received the baptism of The Holy Ghost,received it in the same manner as those in ACTS 2:4.

As well as we... and in the same manner as we... are two different statements.

How did they know that The Gentiles had received The Baptism Of The Holy Ghost in ACTS 10 ?
Could ACTS 10:46 tell us something about this ?

[Scott Hutchinson]

Well would there be different ways of receiving The Baptism Of The Holy Ghost ?

To be fair this is what some in the church world say.

I agree with this video.

The gentleman in this video states that tongues is AN evidence of the Holy Ghost. I certainly agree with no reservation that tongues can be an evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost.

He speaks of tongues as an evidence of the Holy Ghost and he says "It's not the only evidence of the Holy Spirit"

He ends by saying that tongues functions as an initial outward evidence that someone has received the Holy Spirit.

I don't disagree with this at all.

I address this in the opening post.

Did you listen to this whole video? Just wondering.

He makes a lot of accusations about pentecostal beliefs that aren't true to our actual beliefs. Of course, we do the same thing about what they believe as well.

I do agree with one thing he says though... and I paraphrase... one thing is that we haven't had a major revival in over 100 years and if we could all step away from our taught doctrines and study the word with an honest heart we'd see another one.

He is more honest in his heart than a lot of people with whom he associates. He does believe that God still heals etc.

But... like I said... he tries to deal with pentecostal "false doctrines" and his concept of what we believe is false and he spends much of his time beating a straw man.

I did hear most of the video.
