Topic: The Holy Spirit And Tongues

Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. (NIV) What is the biggest miracle? A large number of people all speaking a foreign language for the first time without any prior knowledge of the language or a large number of people all speaking in a special prayer language needing someone else to interpret the prayer language? The biggest miracle would be speaking in different languages so different people from all parts of the world would hear about Christ and take the good news to all parts of the world. This statement is not to say speaking in tongues where someone else must interpret this prayer language is not a manifestation of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 2, we can see God's power at work to activate the Holy Spirit in such a way the people receiving the Holy Spirit spoke in other tongues or languages so people from other lands who were in Jerusalem at the time would hear the gospel. We see the Spirit was given so witnessing would be done. Remarkably, the Spirit can make us able to do many things we might think are impossible.
