<TITLE>05. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 So I come back to the--the question of Acts 2 with him. I said, "Now, you--you say that--that Acts 2 is where you're going to--to base it upon." So I had to give him something to run him off the--run him off the--the line so that he could be--that he could--I could speak to him, you know, get throwed off.
I said, "Now, we'll--we'll basic... if you will." Thank you, brother. "If you will just--will stay with the Scripture..." I said, "Now, brother, I--I admire your stand." See? And I said, "You're... You said here that they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and begin to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. There were dwelling in Jerusalem, Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven; this was all noised abroad. They come together and were confounded because they heard every man speaking in his own language wherein they were born."
I had to lead him off here a little. I said, "Now, brother, I'd like to ask you this. Now, remember, the Bible says that these unbelievers... It didn't say now that these people (See?), up here that come down from the tower from up in this upper room in the building; It said they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and these out here, they were hearing them in their own tongue wherein they were born. See? They heard them, each man. See? The sinners was hearing them in their own tongue wherein they were born, the unbelievers." And I said, "Then if your Pentecostal interpretation is right (See?), way you got..." Now, I said, "Then there's something either wrong with Acts 2 or wrong with your interpretation."

L-14 I said, "Now, I want to ask you, brother, where did you receive the Holy Ghost at?" He told me the minute, hour, and time, good man. And he little arrogant, you know, kinda little worked up because under a sweat. There's no reason for that. See?
If I got a rabbit penned up in a field and not a way in the world for him to get out, I'll stand at the gate; he's got to come back, 'cause he ain't getting out. So you don't have to sweat it. See? You know exactly... You know there's not a hole nowhere for him to get out at. So you stay right in any Scripture you want to. He's got to come back to it. So he--he ain't going nowhere. You don't have to chase him all around over the field. Just stand there and let him come back to you.

L-15 So then I said, "Sir," I said, "Now, how did you act when you received the Holy Ghost?"
"Praise God, I spoke in other tongues as the Spirit give them utterance."
I said, "All right, who all was there?"
Said, "About a hundred and fifty people."
"You were in a church?"
"Yes, sir."
"And were they all English speaking people?"
"Yes."
I said, "Then how did you speak?"
And he said, "I spoke in tongues."
I said, "In your speaking, you gave testimony of the Holy Ghost."
"Yes, yes."
"That you'd received the Holy Ghost?"
"Yes."
"Did the congregation understand you?"
He said, "Why, no."
I said, "Then it wasn't according to Acts 2:4, then (You see?)," I said, "because every man heard in his own language wherein he was born. There was no words minced at all. Every man heard in his own language wherein he was born." I said, "Then you surely never got it according to Acts 2:4." That knocked that Scripture right there from him, the moderator give to me (See?), right there.
