When was "at the beginning" was Peter refering to???

Acts 2:4.
And, excellent point in referring to the "BEGINNING." If
Acts 2:4 is the beginning, then anything before that was a figure.
Also, note that Peter said the 120 spoke in tongues because Jesus was at the right hand. he was not at the right hand throne when on earth breathing on people.
Act 2:33 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.
I believe no one was Spirit filled when Jesus breathed on them.
I think we all need to research more than just comparing Jesus breathing on people and
Acts 2:4, and get into the reasons Peter spoke about, such as the right hand throne seating of Jesus being cause for the tongues.
One can get on a band-wagon of throwing out everything the UPC ever taught when one leaves the UPC, but not everything they taught was wrong. It's not wrong just because it is UPC. Most all Spirit filled people believe in tongues as initial evidence. Kenneth Hagin wrote an awesome booklet on the issue. My opinion personally is that folks are not researching enough of the issues involved in Peter's sermon when they get away from tongues as the initial evidence, primarily the Right Hand seating issue.
