The Book of Acts is the only Book in the Bible that does not have AMEN at the end of the last chapter. Therefore it should be obvious to all that this Book is continuing to this day in which we live, and that the examples of conversion and salvation that are depicted therein are valid to this day including Tongues as the initial evidence of the infilling of the Holy Ghost..... Mark 16 : 17 "They SHALL speak with New Tongues"

Amen

@bessieeliza That is an assumption on your part that the fact the Book of Acts is the only Book in the Bible that does not have AMEN at the end that the gifts are continuing today. It has no biblical defense for it. If that is the case then are you giving everything you own to the church and dispersing it to everyone in need? If you believe that God is still speaking today then your authority is wider than the bible alone. Pentecostalism violates Sola Scriptura.

For one thing, it is a deed to disperse to those who are in need and churches still do this till this day.

David Bernard clearly does not follow grammar or context, and has little understanding of the purpose of the Book of Acts. I wonder if he know that there was about 11 years between the tongues in Acts 2 and Acts 10?

If speaking in tongues is necessary for salvation, I guess mute people can not be saved. That's sad, because I thought God wished that all would be saved.

See Jews for Jesus and the day of Shavuot or Pentecost. Tongues as defined by the Bible and Jewish history seem to be a forgein language. Not some spirital language of non sense. God is not the author of the crazy or confusion.

@bessieeliza The verse you talking about was not in the original manuscripts of The Bible, it was added in later copys of the New testament manuscripts.

It's all a process We can't just assume We are saved by repenting the scriptures fully explain when they ask peter what they need to do to be saved We can't just neglect the full description ,other wise people could proceed on thinking they got saved as an infant. I thank God for Dr Bernard who stay focus on the truth!

@mikgorblack Unfortunately, the "tone" of someones voice is absolutely NOT important when dealing with a subject such as this!. If we base what we accept as God's word, on the tone of voice of the one speaking on it, well, that's just NOT a wise thing to do!. I have met some soft spoken "satanist"!.

[morrisondan]

I absolutely agree 100% with Dr. James White!. There is just no reason whatever to believe we have to speak in tongues, as a demonstration that the Holy Spirit has taken up residence in our heart & our life!. That is just plain, SILLY!.

@higherground2050 Very well stated and I agree 100%

[higherground2050]

@JD2010CWS The church is made up of believers. Some have the gift of the Holy Ghost as mentioned in the book of Acts and some do not. But all of the believers living holy and and obeying Jesus' commandment of love one another are all God's children.
