Actually PJ your knowledge of scriptures is always in question! I wish you could answer your own questions. I really would like to hear YOUR answers! AND understand them!!! You are not some zen who can teach from questions because you are to confusing!
The word of God teaches all that it is man's responsibility to know truth, the lord has given all the measure of faith, so if on can not come into agreement with the word, whose fault is it.
I have to agree with the other posters. In the month or so I have been around here, the only thing I have seen you post is vague cryptic comments.
If you wish to discuss a passage of scripture, why not say "I was thinking about this verse, here are my views. What do you think?" Take a stance, put it out there and then it will be open for discussion.
But this puffed up attitude of, "I'm filled with a spirit that tells me everything and you know nothing" well that ain't cool.
I read the scriptures you posted. These scriptures show there are two baptisms, the water and the Spirit. It shows they are independent of each other. It shows speaking in tongues may accompany the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
However, If I may presume : You believe these passages teach speaking in tongues "always" accompanies the baptism have the Holy Spirit. I don't see that these passages teach this. Although I do believe it does accompany...just not always...we are each given different gifts...nor do these scriptures you provided indicate that "every single one" spoke in tongues.
Just what I glean from these scriptures without going beyond what scripture teaches.
