"Jesus said that, just as you HEAR the wind, you will hear when someone is born of the Spirit, yet wonder how it happens."

Absolutely untrue. You have mangled this to prove your own misconception. He did not mean that you can hear someone being born again.

"...for in Acts chap 2, some thought (even with these souls praising God in understandable languages) that they were drunk."

Yes, of course they were real languages. But, go read the story. There were over 17 out-of-area districts represented at Pentecost celebration. When Bob hears Tom's message, it sounded crazy drunk. Especially coming from one who had never been to Tom's city. So, the crowd hears 17+ languages telling the message of rescue by the Messiah. Don't rewrite the story to make it fit your predjudice.

That is your interpretation. I mangle? No, but you delete. You make his claim of not knowing the source of the sound, to be a source with no sound. Yet, in the three DETAILED accounts in Acts of Holy Ghost infilling, the tongues were present.

**Bob hears Tom’s message, it sounded crazy drunk.**

I listen to the radio when trucking, but don’t listen to ‘Bob and Tom’. They’re pretty rank imo. Seriously, you think these folks didn’t know the effects of new wine, and how someone behaves when under it’s influence? Acts 2:15, Peter said, “For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, SEEING that it is the THIRD hour of the day”. (9 am)

**So, the crowd hears 17+ languages telling the message of rescue by the Messiah.**
**Don’t rewrite the story**

They heard them speak of ‘the wonderful works of God’. The saving message was preached by Peter. He identified the Messiah, and told them what they MUST do (Acts 2:38).
