The Spirit that descended upon Jesus wasn't an actual dove, the imagery was gentleness, hence the imagery of a dove.




Thats fine, Are you saying though, that there was no actual sound from HEAVEN of a rushing mighty wind that FILLED the house???


Please tell me where you are going here....

I am saying that the Bible says, "As of", that means in the Greek, "exactly like". So, whatever the sound was, it reminded them of wind. So, yes, I am saying they apparently heard something. They used imagery to describe the sound as something they were familiar with, wind.

We were on the same page from the beginning. I was speaking more to your point in Post #44 "We have heard preachers all our life say it was a wind..."

Then you went on to say "It was only a sound of a wind." Which kind of looks like you were still having the idea that it was wind. Sound of wind doesn't support that view, but sound of "a" wind does. So, I was confused by your post, initially.

Of course, these posts could be a very good example of nitpicking the scriptures to death. :heeheehee

Sorry, I started to realize that....LOL....I was emphasizing SOUND, because of John 3:5-8. It is a "prophecy" of Acts 2. Some folks are unaware of that, and can easily link the 2 passages together to "bolster" John 3:5s Water and Spirit doctrine.
