Five records in the book of Acts when those that believed spoke in tongues, pt-1 (Holy Spirit Class - 1967 - Session - 4)

1. We learned from Acts, chapter 2, in the original outpouring, in
verses 1 to 4, that; on the day of Pentecost, these twelve apostles were
filled with the power from on high, clothed with this power from on
high, which is the new birth, the holy spirit, Christ in you. And when
they were filled, it says, "and they spoke in tongues." That's what it
said in Acts 2. And then, you'll remember, there were only Jews on the
day of Pentecost that received.

2. A number of years later, because of the persecution that had ensued
within the city of Jerusalem, because of the increase of Christian
believers, Philip went down to Samaria. This is an enlargement. The
Samaritans were disliked by the Jews. Philip goes down to Samaria and
he preaches Christ unto them. And those who have been influenced by
spiritualism, and lived under devil spirits, and been under the control
of a man operated by devil spirits, they get born again. And Simon, the
sorcerer himself, gets born again of God's Spirit.

And when these people in Samaria were born again, it says, "and
Simon saw." Simon saw--you cannot see spirit, what did Simon see?

3. We'll go to the next record, in Acts, chapter 9, the third great
record in God's wonderful, matchless word. In this chapter, it's the
apostle Paul. Paul who, when he was on the road to Damascus, got born
again. And Ananias, just a simple disciple -- just a simple disciple,
not a head of the church from Jerusalem, no Peter, no John, no bishop,
no top echelon brass, nope -- just a simple disciple. Laid his hands on
the apostle, Paul, he got healed, physically, and, according to I
Corinthians chapter 14, verse 18, the apostle Paul says, "I speak in
tongues more than ye all."
