Hi All!

I've not been on for AGES!

ANYHOW, I'm not trying to stir any kind of controversy here, but I was reading the second chapter of Acts the other day and had a thought....

The Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost and the believers spoke in new tongues. Those "devout" Jews e.t.c. from other surrounding areas understood the praising of God in their own language!

Traditionally we always understand this to mean that the believers spoke in the language of the foreigners who were at earshop of them. HENCE they were amazed as after all those in the upper room were just "Galileans"

COULD it be that actually, though, the Galileans were speaking in a an angelic "tongue" and those believers were actually understanding the translation in their own language miraculously? Just as Paul says...........er..........in Corinthians somewhere that someone speaks in a tongue and another interprets?

This may sound completely crazy and is probably all wrong. HOWEVER, why would some have said that they had just had too much wine? Perhaps these were the unbelievers and hence it was merely gobledeegook to them?

ANYWAY, I've other reasons in mind regarding this. Anyone willing comment and disagree vehemently?
