Poppycock! And I mean that respectfully as a friend.
Paul spoke in tongues more than all the Corinthian believers and he was not one of the original eleven. Also the 120 in the upper room on the day of Pentecostal all spoke in tongues, including, by the way, the Virgin Mary. Also, most of the Corinthian believers spoke in tongues, hence the reason why Paul gave instructions on how to speak it correctly and in the right place.
The gifts of the Spirit were given to all believers in the Body of Christ so that all may profit. That's what my New Testament says. Paul wrote that well after the Day of Pentecost and he wrote it for all the Gentile churches. He told the Romans that they should prophesy according to the level of their faith.
Just taking one reference at random and ignoring all the others just results in a gobbledygook doctrine that doesn't reflect New Testament teaching at all.
Paul was no one of the ELEVEN but I can not believe that you are saying that Paul was not an Apostle. Surely, you are mistaken or have not fully comprend the Scripture.
Judas was not included in the ELEVEN because he was dead and Paul had not yet met with and been commissioned by Jesus so your point is actually MUTE.
Galatians 1:1
Paul, an apostle (not sent from men nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),
Romans 1:1
Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus,
called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,
1 Corinthians 1:1
Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
1 Timothy 2:7
For this I was appointed a preacher and
an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
I have a really NOVEL idea. Instead of accepting what you just said.......lets actually READ from the Bible WAHT WAS SAID..................
First....CONTEXT is found in Acts 1:12-15.........
"Then returned
THEY unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. 13And when
THEY were come in,
they went up into an upper room, where abode both
Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 14
"THEY are the same THEM seen in Mark 16:14 and THEY are the ELEVEN who were the APOSTLES!
Verse #14 then goes on to say that......
"These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 15And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
Now that is the CONTEXT from the literal words of the Scripture.
Then comes Acts 2:1-6:.........
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come
, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where
they were sitting. And there appeared unto
them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of
them. And
they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.”
Where do the Scriptures say that MARY spoke in tongues???????
Now WHERE does the Scripture say that all 120 spoke in tongues. ???????
You see......you are simply repeating what your denominational church has told you what to believe!
The Bible says that THEY, the ELEVEN APOSTLES were the ones speaking. Instead of 120 speaking in tongues.......the people there
HEARD what was said in their own language!!
READ it for yourself my friend.
Acts 2:11-14.............
"Cretes and Arabians,
we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13Others mocking said,
These men are full of new wine. 1
4But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words".
The ONLY way that anyone can not understand this teaching is because they are willing to believe what SOMEONE has told them instead of believing what GOD ACTUALLY SAID.
