120 in the upper room..
Acts 2v4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
people confuse this with natural languages..
1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
and so they heard babble and thought they were drunk...then converted Peter now stands and boldly explains what this is and how to be saved...acts 2v38 etc
Acts 8..Simon the sorcerer..12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Spirit NOT AUTOMATIC...
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Simon a con artist is willing to PAY for something..more than just a feeling or signing a card or some other religious stuff which he could readily duplicate..but not this..you cant get the signs following without Jesus ..mark 16v16+
The 1st recorded Gentile...Cornelius..
Acts 10v 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
how did they Know....
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
acts 19..2 .. Have you recieved the Holy Ghost since you believed ?....5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

I have not shunned to declare unto you ALL the counsel of God..not just bits and pieces that suit religious people..
so you speak in tongues etc ..remember the 10 virgins (unbelievers are not included) 5 wise and 5 foolish !! your Born again a babe in Christ you need the sincere milk of the word ! you wont get that from a non spirit filled church !! even if they say Jesus or Christ,Jehovah, Yahweh the Lord of Hosts is his name whatever..
its like a gift ..car for example its new and nice in your driveway ! but no one told you about keys !?,Fuel, or even how to drive it...so it just sits as an added extra and rusts seizes up..does nothing..dont hide this talent in yourself you are the earthen vessel use it , build yourself up praying in the Spirit God has given ( JUDE ) when you are built up you will be able to more readily access ALL of Gods promises that Jesus through his sacrifice has made available to you..so
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Find a church run as per instructions..Corinthians...asap..others may call themselves christian, they can call themselves Napoleon for that matter.. no signs.. not following Jesus His way..
ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth..they have eyes but see not ,ears but hear not..because they have hardened there heart...
