Then answered Peter, 47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
Acts 11:15-17
15And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 16Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

These are examples of what happened. If I were to walk into a Pentecostal service and describe that I saw running, jumping, falling out in the spirit and folks tried to make the plan of salvation from my story it is possible that some confusion could take place. Many would interpret that falling out and running was the evidence.
