And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven, as of a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. Acts 2:2,3
And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven, as of a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. Acts 2:2,3
The promise of God had come upon 120 followers of the Lord Jesus Christ! The mighty wind of God's Spirit fell upon the assembly with tongues of fire that were divided for each one. Everyone received a tongue of fire that sat upon each of them!
This is why it is said that when someone is baptized in the Holy Spirit they will speak in other tongues. Everyone can but some reject it because of tradition, pride, or unbelief but tongues are a valid gift for the body of Christ. There are various kinds of tongues which we will see in my study on the gifts of the Spirit.
The gift that this first expression of Christ's body received would produce a harvest of 3000 souls. They didn't wait for a teaching on the gift or any instruction on how to use it they proceeded out into the streets and interpreted the preaching of Peter to those from out of town who spoke in other languages, and they were saved!
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:4
