[George W. Bush]

The 120 were speaking in an angelic language, the crowd "heard" each in his own native tongue because they were unknowingly and by the power of the Holy Ghost interpreting the tongues in their native language. Your lip syncing comment is exactly correct hence the intoxicated references. To suppose that so great an impression was made simply by demonstrating language skills is IMHO totally erroneous an utterly without logic or reason. I would mark anyone who is that easily convinced by so illogical and devoid of common sense an argument.

So the crowds remarks should be read as "Hey, these guys are talking just like drunks do in my hometown?"

I don't know what to say. Your angelic language theory has a lot of problems. And since you believe that the real miracle of Pentecost was in the hearing of tongues and not in the speaking of tongues, then why did the Holy Spirit need to come on the speakers and not the hearers?

And where do you find in the bible the notion of angelic languages and the idea that they are understood by every human in their native dialect?
More than that, why angelic languages at all? Why you think God separated the angels into language groups? Where is this idea in the Bible?

If the miracle of "tongues" is actually the miracle of "ears", then doesn't that completely impeach any claim you charismatics make to continuing the tradition of Pentecost? How many foreign language speakers have ever heard a modern charismatic speak in tongues and been converted?

Do you Pentecostals train your missionaries in foreign languages or not?

"How are we all hearing the same person speaking in all our own different native languages? Look, their lips are moving awkwardly. Hmmm. They must be drunk...wait, this is "confounding", "amazing", "marveling", impossible!

WHAT MEANETH THIS?
