What really happened at Pentecost?

Tongues are languages no one is arguing with that.

Answer the passages I gave. They are clear.

Again brother.... there is no difference in what I see here and sharing a testimony... these people where not all over the places PREACHING as much as they were TELLING the people perhaps one on one about the wonderful things God has done in their day through Jesus Christ.. and yes a woman can do that all day long....

it was not a woman who took the pulpit at Pentecost and stepped into that role of preaching the theology of the matter.... God used a man for that

My purpose brother is to debunk the "grabbing the mike and screaming into during the out of control flesh show --- THESE ARE NOT DRUNK AS YOU SUPPOSE<<< THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AT PENTECOST'

pure lies for more hype and histeria

LOL,, good one brother.. yes I speak in tongues almost every day I suppose and you know brother when I was a baby I use to scream and holler until I learned how to talk.. so back in the day yes I ran and screamed and bucked and shouted....... did it all.... I just no longer see where this looks anything remotely like the Day of Pentecost or any other NT gathering......

I'm afraid we have some Anti Pentecostals in our midst

Was it God or were you faking?

Bro. Mark it's not true.... I have the Pentecostal experience.. I speak in tongues daily.. and even a few gifts of the Spirit operate in my life.. I love TRUE Pentecost... but I am against the propoganda of Pentecost that when you see one of our services, you are looking at what happened at Pentecost.. when it is just not true....

at least tell the truth... or make something up like.. we now have more than they had at Pentecost.... we have Azusa street... and we have more than they had at Pentecost..... at least tell people the truth

You don't have to fake being an infant... I'll tell you what alot of it was good drum playing and good organ playing

When these people go crazy at these concerts... is that GOD or is it faking? You cannot fake getting in the atmosphere of the music

I would prove it.... let Apostolics take every organ out,, every set of drums out,, every piece of music... and lets see how much shouting you will have next Sunday... it's all worked up emotions.... it has nothing to do with the Word of God

Well, maybe what you need is one them really good Holy Ghost whammy type of blessings. You know, the kind where you end up completely lost in the spirit realm for a couple of hours and someone has to drive you home because of it. I know I could use one like that right about now.

BTW, I understand what you are saying about seeing things one way when you were younger and differently now that you are older. That happens to all of us. I used to run around the church a lot. Thought it was the neatest thing too. Now I'd be lucky to make it around for just one lap, and don't really feel like I need to run in a church service. That still doesn't mean it isn't just as real to the ones who are now doing the running as it was to me when I was doing the running.
