Question: Friday to Saturday is ONE day. Saturday to Sunday is TWO days. Christ was in a sepulcher 3 days and 3 nights. According to your chart that would have to put the resurrection on Monday??? According to Jewish calendars and how they kept time, it would put the burial on Thursday. Why do modern day pastor teach the resurrection is on Friday?? The math does not add up?? Thank you
About the issue of "speaking in tounges" you have decided to interpret the meaning of "tounges" from Lukes narrative of Pentecost and read back into earlier writings of Paul in 1 Corinthians 12-14 to define the phenomena. That is a decision YOU have made...how do you justify that? I dont mean to dispute that..im just saying its your interpretive decision that needs to be justified.
Simple grammar. Luke uses words that describe actual languages and then gives contextual examples of these languages in his narrative.

The tongues commentary, I can not agree. Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean somebody in the world wouldn't. No way we could know every language in the world.
Linguists who study these things and know when utterances are a language of some type or simply unintelligible sounds have settled this question. The “tongues” of Charismatics have never been traced to any known language. Read article below for further info.
In 1972, William J. Samarin, a linguist from the University of Toronto, published a thorough assessment of Pentecostal glossolalia that became a classic work on its linguistic characteristics.[11] His assessment was based on a large sample of glossolalia recorded in public and private Christian meetings in Italy, the Netherlands, Jamaica, Canada, and the United States over the course of five years; his wide range of subjects included the Puerto Ricans of the Bronx, the snake handlers of the Appalachians and the Spiritual Christians from Russia in Los Angeles (Pryguny, Dukh-i-zhizniki).
Samarin found that glossolalic speech does resemble human language in some respects. The speaker uses accent, rhythm, intonation and pauses to break up the speech into distinct units. Each unit is itself made up of syllables, the syllables being formed from consonants and vowels taken from a language known to the speaker:
It is verbal behaviour that consists of using a certain number of consonants and vowels...in a limited number of syllables that in turn are organized into larger units that are taken apart and rearranged pseudogrammatically...with variations in pitch, volume, speed and intensity.[12]
[Glossolalia] consists of strings of syllables, made up of sounds taken from all those that the speaker knows, put together more or less haphazardly but emerging nevertheless as word-like and sentence-like units because of realistic, language-like rhythm and melody.[13]
That the sounds are taken from the set of sounds already known to the speaker is confirmed by others. Felicitas Goodman, a psychological anthropologist and linguist, also found that the speech of glossolalists reflected the patterns of speech of the speaker's native language.[14] These findings were confirmed by Kavan (2004).[15]
Samarin found that the resemblance to human language was merely on the surface and so concluded that glossolalia is "only a facade of language".[16] He reached this conclusion because the syllable string did not form words, the stream of speech was not internally organized, and - most importantly of all - there was no systematic relationship between units of speech and concepts. Humans use language to communicate but glossolalia does not. Therefore, he concluded that glossolalia is not "a specimen of human language because it is neither internally organized nor systematically related to the world man perceives".[16] On the basis of his linguistic analysis, Samarin defined Pentecostal glossolalia as "meaningless but phonologically structured human utterance, believed by the speaker to be a real language but bearing no systematic resemblance to any natural language, living or dead".[17]
Practitioners of glossolalia may disagree with linguistic researchers and claim that they are speaking human languages (xenoglossia). Felicitas Goodman studied a number of Pentecostal communities in the United States, the Caribbean, and Mexico; these included English-, Spanish- and Mayan-speaking groups. She compared what she found with recordings of non-Christian rituals from Africa, Borneo, Indonesia and Japan. She took into account both the segmental structure (such as sounds, syllables, phrases) and the supra-segmental elements (rhythm, accent, intonation) and concluded that there was no distinction between what was practised by the Pentecostal Protestants and the followers of other religions

Thats issue if indwelling and empowering is a very difficult issue..i. not sure you have demonstrated it from the scripture..but a good try
I am hoping someone can help me make sense of a vision I had of Jesus! First of all I've never read all of the Bible, but I am a faithful believer, anyway, I was getting ready to go to sleep, I was praying for my family, that Jesus would come into their lives and turn on a holy light switch!! So they will know without a doubt Jesus is with them.. suddenly I saw him, Jesus, standing on top of a mountain! He was out of reach I couldn't touch him, for some reason I wanted to grab his hand, I saw what he had on, it looked dirty, dusty, dingy white garb, he had something hanging around his neck that went down to ground, like a scarf but not a scarf, it was burgandy.
He was just starting at me,,I heard, in my head, JOHN, ACTS, and a slight LUKE,,,
I NEED SOMEONE, TO HELP ME, I don't get what he was telling me,,I want to do whatever he wants me to do .
I need to know,, because, my home and personal life hasn't been the most fulfilling for me. I'm not a Bible pusher,,but I do know,,THAT NIGHT I WAS PRAYING FOR MY FAMILIES SOULS,,I KNOW JESUS SHOWED HIMSELF TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT FOR A REASON..I still don't understand what he may been saying.SO PLEASE REPLY!!! GOD BLESS U
I suspect that you’re greater focus on Bible study in recent times has probably influence your thinking and I believe your dreams. It is common for people to dream about characters that they read about or study. In Acts chapter 1 Luke tells us that Jesus ascended into heaven. He will return one day when everyone will be able to see his presence. For now, we see Him and more importantly understand his teachings and instructions for our lives in the Bible. God bless you in your continued study of Gods word.

Yes Luke uses the term translated "other tounges" but he also listed people from Judea..so some were speaking in Aramaic or Hebrew.. and that cannot be "other languages" so Luke is trying to say something in his use of the tradition...remember he wasnt an eyewitness. For a scholarly critique of your use of "tounges" as always foreign languages see Gordon Fees critique. notsohostilepentecostal.wordpress.com/tag/gordon-fee/
But alot of the rest of your exposition is quite informative.
Im assuming because you say tongues now is not of a human language, that your saying you don't believe those who have it is real.. Unless you have had a personal experience and know for a fact the tongues that are spoke by Pentecostals are not authentic and of God, than you shouldn't be teaching on the subject. Because you are teaching a false Doctrine. And making false accusations you know nothing about. Your argument is only based on science and so your argument concerning tongues is not just without the personal God given experience. It doesn't matter what you or anyboddy who disbelieves say because it only matters between the spirit filled and God and knowing what they have is real. It says it is an unknown tongue. But I have personally witnessed in a Pentecostal camp meeting all from all over come together. Some have over hear there own language that another was praying and came and told them what they was saying. Rather you believe or not it is human language. I have heard Filipinos in there own country on a video speaking in tongues which is the exact same sound that we speak here in America. But not all tongues are of God, there is false tongues given my Satan which is not the same sound of the real thing. So if you know the real thing you will know the difference from real and false.
I have had personal experience with speaking in tongues, prophecy and the casting out of spirits with a charismatic group in the United States so my teaching is not based on someone else’s comments or experience.
My rejection of these psuedo spiritual gifts however is based on Bible study, not emotion. The passages and actual words used to describe the tongues used in the book of Acts actually mean to speak a known human language, that’s the nature of the miracle of tongues and its complimentary gift of interpretation. The ability to speak a language not previously known or studied.
The psuedo tongues you speak of is familiar sounding because different groups from different places use similar sounding utterances. This in itself proves nothing in so far as the legitimate gift of tongues is concerned. Add to this the fact that the phenomena you refer to is only a century old having begun in California and spread through the southern regions of this country primarily through the televised “tent-meetings” in the 1950’s and 60’s. This would mean that the Spirit was silent for 18 centuries or so since the miraculous events spoken of in the New Testament largely ceased not long after the death of the Apostles. I’m sorry, I can’t accept that.
All of the things accomplished by the “gifts” you mention, things like evangelism, witness, discernment, confirmation of God’s presence or blessing are accomplished by God’s word. The gospel is the power unto salvation (Romans1:16) not tongues. God’s word is what we use to teach, correct, reprove, train in righteous living (2Tim.3:15-16), not someone’s prophecy. God’s word is sufficient to save us, equip us and build the church. We no longer need or receive the gifts once used in the early church. These have been replaced by the possession of the complete and final revelation of God contained in the Bible.
The Bible clearly makes the distinction between the Holy Ghost being with a Christian and the Holy Ghost being in a Christian. The Holy Ghost in a person is what will change him at the time of the Rapture. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him (Acts 5:32). He said He would give the Holy Ghost to them that obey Him. You are disobedient when you fail to accept His promise, and He promised the Holy Ghost to you. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call (Acts 2:39). The obedient will seek until they receive the Holy Ghost. It is part of the commanded plan of salvation. Repent, be baptized in JESUS NAME, and be baptized with the Holy Spirit ( with evidence of speaking in tongues) tongues is the initial evidence of receiving the baptism of the holy spirit that dwells in you and not just with you. The Holy Ghost had control and wrought mighty miracles in the midst of the people; then the devil wormed his way into the Church and she lost her power. That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten (Joel 1:4). Joel said this would happen to the Church and it did. For almost 2,000 years God has waited for the harvest of the latter rain; James said he had waited with long patience for it. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you (Joel 2:25). Yes, the Lord said He would restore the power to the Church in the last days. Now that power is here. The latter rain is the power of the Holy Ghost; you cannot be ready for His coming without this power. The Bible says that just before the coming of the Son of God the Holy Ghost would be poured out, not a sprinkle, but a downpour of the Spirit. Why do you think He promised to pour out His Spirit on us in the last days if it were not necessary in our preparation for His coming? Again in Acts 2:18 He said, I will pour out in those days of my Spirit. Whatever keeps you from receiving the Holy Ghost in an age of the downpour of the Spirit will certainly keep you out of the Rapture.The Holy Ghost had control and wrought mighty miracles in the midst of the people; then the devil wormed his way into the Church and she lost her power. That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten (Joel 1:4). Joel said this would happen to the Church and it did. For almost 2,000 years God has waited for the harvest of the latter rain; James said he had waited with long patience for it. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you (Joel 2:25).

Again in Acts 2:18 He said, I will pour out in those days of my Spirit. Whatever keeps you from receiving the Holy Ghost in an age of the downpour of the Spirit will certainly keep you out of the Rapture. . No one can be caught up in the Rapture without first receiving the Holy Ghost baptism the road to hell is wide but to heaven is narrow, few will find it. Because you will find the true way because the true way is not popular because it means people will have to sacrifice the way they're living. It mentions those having the seal of God that distinguishwhose are His ( having the Holy Ghost) in Ephesians chapters 1 &4 and Revelations7&9
There is no command to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. The seal is my faith in Jesus as the Son of God, not the fact that I exhibit miraculous gifts. If that was the case the 3000 should all have spoken in tongues on Pentecost Sunday but note that only the Apostles did this.
When a Pentecostal preacher speaks....and "turns-on"...and then "turns-of"...... the "Shalaka laka" speaking in tongues...and then quickly reverts back to English and back-and-forth...is this "As the Spirit gave him utterance"....or is HE turning it on and off by his own will? Is that Biblical? Don't get me wrong, I've also wittnessed what seems like a total "overcoming" of a spirit influx into people, and it was transformative, but in these instances I saw no personal power by them to turn it on and off.
