Re: Speaking in tongues.

. . . These new converts had no idea what they were saying and the indians they were speaking too had to translate back to them what they were saying. Indians ended up getting saved as a result of this. He says they were "saved", but does he give any details how he judges this? Can he see...

Re: Speaking in tongues.

Acts 2 gives no indication that the converts on the Day of Pentecost spoke in tongues. In all my years of talking to people about the bible I have never seen such a bare-faced lie!!
