Challenging the theory of interpretive hearing in Acts chapter two

Also, I'm assuming that the people were all devout "Jews" but the Bible just says "devout men."

However, the good news wasn't yet given to the Gentiles yet, but there were probably Gentiles there in Jerusalem that day.........hmmmm

Was it just Jews that heard the disciples speak in their own language or Gentiles also that heard?

They were taken aback to hear all of the disciples speaking in their individual tongue because they knw the men were "unlearned,2 that is to say not educated beyond their trades.

Thanks for your reply, but that seems like a weak argument. It would also support the standard reading which is that they were all "... tongues as the Spirit enabled them." - Acts 2:4

Hi thanks .I would offer first and foremost we look to the foundation of the fulfillment of Acts .A old testament law that had to do with the unbelieving Jew (no faith) that mocked God by refusing to hear His prophecy. But rather did whatsoever their own mouth as oral traditions declared and in doing so made the word of God without effect and so no evil in doing so .

With mocking deriding (stammering) lips God mocked those who mocked Him as a sign to confirm or a sign against them that were not hearing God's word. God therefore would no longer be bringing prophecy in Hebrew alone (the language they mocked God with.)

It wasn't an argument, you asked some questions and I answered. If you only want your own answers then why ask?
and my answers are correct

They all spoke in other languages to include Hebrew as God worked in them to make it possible for them to hear the gospel and believe to the salvation of their soul.Three thousand new converts at the same time from many different nation heard the interpretation of God's revelation.

What bewildered them is previously they could not understand each other and they wondered why God was now bringing his interpretation as prophecy in other languages other than Hebrew.

Yes, hearing prophecy in other languages and not Hebrew alone as up till that time... now came the fulfillment of the old testament prophecy (Isaiah 28)

The unconverted listeners were converted when they heard the gospel in their own tongue.3000 souls entered paradise all in the twinkling of the eye.

I pray not to offend anyone.

[for me anyway] I thank God the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for hiding His Truth from the wise and prudent (those that would make use of scholastic achievement in an endeavor to think and speak above that which is written), and instead reveals His Truth to the common, practical person who simply believes His Word.

Thanks for joining us per my invitation to you. And for your detailed response. I really appreciate the effort.

For your opening point, would this not also be fulfilled just as well with speaking in tongues as with interpretive hearing?
It doesn't really make that point unless I am missing something here.

But how is this evidence of interpretative hearing? (rather than tongues)

Thanks for your reply, but that seems like a weak argument. It would also support the standard reading which is that they were all "... tongues as the Spirit enabled them." - Acts 2:4

The tongues is God's interpretation as a revelation. They hearing believed his interpretation as one non seen "The Holy place of God" and not one of men seen as shadow of the unseen Holy place. No form can stand there .It would be considered the abomination of desecration standing in the place of faith our understanding comes from that unseen place

The interpretive hearing is not a revelation as a interpretation of men. We are warned (1 John 3:27 )of those who say we need a seen man to teach or interpret for us, Rather than the word of God as it is written the Holy Spirit teaches us as it does we abide in Him the teacher.He will bring to our mind the things he has taught us . Its one of those first things first. Put no trust in the interpretation of men as the witness of men .But rather in the word of God as the word of prophecy.

2 Peter 1:20-21 King James Version (KJV) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

The evidence is interpretative hearing, giving us God's understanding. Called it that work in us not of us the "hearing of faith". Previously having no faith we now can hear .Having begun to understand God, God continhues to works in a person to the end by the same hearing of God's faith.

Faith previously having none is the gift that restores our souls by which we can believe God not seen, giving us a new spirit that could never die

Galatians 3:1-5 King James Version (KJV)O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

When the Holy Spirit entered into me, God gave me a message. I understood it in words but there were no words. This occurred at other times in my walk given me. I know tht God talks to us at times without words, there is no voice, yet it is well understood dand heard.

That's a good word. And I agree.
But it has no bearing on the current question.
How do we confirm that what you are describing is what was happening in Acts chapter two?
What you describe is a bit esoteric. The record in Acts two is very upfront and out in the open.

Because I have experienced this, I know it is quite easy for our Father to cause a person to open his moutha and speak in a manner that all would understand him no matter their native language. Nothing esoteric about this happening. God's ways are not an's ways.
