0:00.0 | Okay, before I answer this first question that we have today, I want to explain to you how this |
0:10.0 | hit me personally when I was a teenager. A leader, some guest came to our church, our |
0:16.0 | youth group, and actually spoke, and they said among other things that if I hadn't spoken |
0:21.0 | in tongues that I was not saved and that freaked me out. |
0:26.1 | I mean it just really really got to me. |
0:28.7 | I wasn't really well grounded in knowing the word very well. |

1:16.4 | salvation is usually based on a few passages in the book of acts and that's |
1:20.0 | pretty much it. But none of the passages they use are taken in context or used |
1:24.3 | carefully. They're just going to be like drive-by Bible study, right? Where you just |
1:28.7 | you mentioned a passage and you move very quickly on. That's my experience. So |
1:32.4 | let's look at a couple of them. |
1:33.7 | One of them is in Acts Chapter 2, |
1:36.0 | which shows that in the early church, |
