Speaking In Tongues

 "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:4

There are a few important things to see in this verse. Every Pentecostal believer needs to understand and practice what this verse teaches us.

First, they all were filled. No exceptions. No exclusions. Every believer that was present was filled. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is for everyone.

Second, the evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirt is speaking in tongues. It's not a warm fuzzy feeling or an inner glow. It is the unmistakable sound of speaking in an unknown tongue. The tongues of men and angels. Speaking directly to God.

Finally, it is a work of the Holy Spirit. As the Spirit gave them utterance. Every time you speak in tongues, it is a work of the Spirit of God.

The big question is, why do you not speak in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance? I'm glad that I was Spirit filled before I found out that God doesn't do anything anymore like He did back then.

"For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off.." Acts 2:39
