**Reading your post...You seem to be angry, but aware.**
I tell people I tend to be 'serious, with a smile', much of the time.
**That Acts 2:38 thing is ummm........................interesting.......................**
It's the big picture, the 'born again' experience, and it has happened to more than just simple folk. I know some of them to be very well educated, very smart people. When one is filled with the Holy Spirit, he makes his presence known by speaking through that person, in a language that he/she did not previously know. It is a shockingly real happening. I made fun of such people in times past, but since I've 'been there, done that', there is no doubt that God is real to me. (I've witnessed some that have just spoken some gibberish on their own so they could be 'part of the club'. Those people don't seem to last, which doesn't surprise me).
