[P-Marlowe]

What happened at Pentecost was that men were preaching the gospel in a manner in which those hearing it could not naturally understand what was being communicated. The Holy Spirit miraculously made their incomprehensible language fully understandable to those to whom God had chosen to make it understandable.

It is not the power of the preacher or even the eloquence of the message that will bring a skeptic to understanding, but the power of God's word and the moving of the Holy Spirit.

You act as if Henry Morris, by contending for the truth of the flood, is somehow going to be responsible for some skeptic going to hell because he didn't believe Henry Morris. Well that ain't gonna happen. If that skeptic wants to use Henry Morris as an excuse for not believing the Bible, then that skeptic will have nobody but himself to blame when he stands before God on Judgment day.

Personally while I am open to just about any interpretation of the creation, I tend to believe that since the creation was a miracle and since God affirmed in Exodus Chapter 20 that he created the heavens and the earth in six days, that, in fact, God created the heavens and earth and all that in them is in 6 days.

You got a problem with that?

That's absolutely not true. The men all heard the message in their own native language. It was not gibberish to them.

6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs--we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God." 12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "Whatever could this mean?" 13 Others mocking said, "They are full of new wine." (Acts. 2)

With their natural ears they heard the message in their own language. Of course, God also needed to sovereignly open their spiritual ears to apply the message. God saves those whom He wills to save.

You got a problem with that?

You sound like a presuppositionalist when it comes to apologetics.
