PT 1 – Examples of The Apostles spoke in tongues
The initial filling of the Holy Ghost.
1. Acts2:1-4
(1) And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all
together in one place. (2) And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the
rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
(3) And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and
it sat upon each one of them. (4) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit,
and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
. . (33) Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received
of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye
now see and hear.
Cornelius spoke in tongues
2. Acts 10:44-48
(44) While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell
on all them that heard the word. (45) And they of the circumcision that believed
were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was
poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. (46) For they heard them speak with
tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, (47) Can any man forbid the
water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as
well as we? (48) And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus
Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
* They received the holy ghost “as well as we”
Ephesians spoke in tongues
3. Acts 19:2-6
(1) And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth,
Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain
disciples: (2) and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye
believed? And they [said] unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the
Holy Spirit was [given]. (3) And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And
they said, Into John`s baptism. (4) And Paul said, John baptized with the
baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him
that should come after him, that is, on Jesus. (5) And when they heard this,
they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. (6) And when Paul had laid
his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues,
and prophesied
Paul Spoke in tongues
4. (I Corinthians 14:18)
18. I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
The Samaritans spoke in tongues
5. Acts 8:15-19 (Some of you will think this should have been the second one
but I had to go through all of that to post this one.)
(15) who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that
they might receive the Holy Spirit: (16) for as yet it was fallen upon none of
them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. (17) Then
laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. (18) Now when
Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles` hands the Holy Spirit was
given, he offered them money, (19) saying, Give me also this power, that on
whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. (20) But Peter said
unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the
gift of God with money
Now, he wanted the Holy Spirit. Not miracles or anything else. Read the first
14 verses.
If there is not an outward sign of the Holy Ghost then how did Simon know they
received it? If it wasn’t an outward sign then he could forge it. He noticed he
couldn’t forge it so he had to try to get it some how. The Holy Ghost is not for
sale
PT 2 – Prophesies About
6. Isaiah 28:11
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
Paul quotes this section of scripture in
I Corinthians 14:21-22
(21) In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I
speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the
Lord. (22) Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to
them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not,
but for them which believe.
7. Mark 16:17
(17) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast
out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (18) They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands
on the sick, and they shall recover. (19) So then after the Lord had spoken unto
them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. (20) And
they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
8. Speaking in tongues is the initial sign that one has received the holy
ghost
Holy ghost was foretold in john 3:8
(8)The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is
born of the Spirit.
PT 3 Questions About
Do tongues save?
No, however the relationship between tongues & spirit baptism is similar to
faith and works.
-We are saved by faith, no works, yet works accompanies genuine faith.
-Tongues cannot save us, yet the Holy Ghost produces tongues as the initial
sign.
Question: tongues always accompany the baptism of the spirit?
A: Book of acts indicates this.
A: Baptism with out tongues is unbiblical (EXPECT TONGUES)
Thank you to:
I do want to thank the people who helped me write this.
David K. Bernard’s Book “The New Birth” the material spoke up above is somewhat
in that book.
Evangelist J. T. Miller who when asked to help did explain this and he helped
me.
