 -=> Quoting JERRY HENSLEY to MARK JONES <=-
 MJ>The promise if for you and I for this generation next generation those
 >near and far and "FOR ALL WHOM THE LORD GOD WILL CALL" he is still
 >calling today.
 
 MJ>Also this is to continue until what is perfect has come.  Perfection
 >hasn't come yet.  It is soon to be here.
 JH> Hello again Mark.  Hopefully you got my previous message.  The promise
 JH> of the Holy Ghost is, in fact, for all.  However, if any man be given
 JH> the gift of "language," it will be a "real" language, not an
 JH> "unknown"  language of unintelligible babble. 
 JH> I was in a church one day, and heard a woman go on for 15 minutes 
 JH> uttering:  Sha da da da da da da da da,  Ahh, Sha da da da da da da
 JH> da,  Ahh, Sha da da da da da da da, etc.  She was emotional and
 JH> hysterical.   When she finally ceased, the pastor said:  "Thus saith
 JH> the Lord, If  thou wilt hearken unto me, I will open up a window of
 JH> heaven and pour  out a blessing, etc.  How, do you think he got all
 JH> that out of "Sha da  da da da da da, etc.?   
 JH> On Pentecost, all 120 spoke Hebrew.  A miracle in itself, being as
 JH> they  were poor Galileans who were not educated in the Hebrew
 JH> language.  They  spoke Aramaic only.  If you believe that they all
 JH> spoke 120 different  languages, and the 15 nations who stood round
 JH> about had to scatter to  find the one that they understood, you are
 JH> wrong.  It was one language,  Hebrew, it was translated into the
 JH> language of the beholder as it  entered into their ears.  It was as
 JH> much a miracle of hearing as it was  speaking. 
 JH> Nowhere in scripture will you find the word unknown, as in "unknown 
 JH> tongue."  The word "unknown" is in italics, and therefore, added by
 JH> the  translators.  The literal translation of Acts: 2:4 is: 
 JH> "And they were all filled with Holy Spirit; and began to speak in
 JH> a  language foreign to them, as the Spirit endowed them with clear
 JH> expression."ÿ
 JH> The Spirit of YaHshua does not destroy our sensibilities or divest us 
 JH> of control over our actions and our speech; quite the contrary.  Peter
 JH> pointed out that the prophets of YaHVaH spoke as they were moved by
 JH> the  Holy Ghost (II Peter 1:21) and this was not autonomic involution,
 JH> a  condition in evidence in the present deceptive counterfeiting of 
 JH> Pentecost.  Paul asked for prayer to the end that he would be able to 
 JH> speak forcefully and accurately in order to make the deep truths of
 JH> the  Gospel plain to his hearers: 
 JH> "And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open 
 JH> my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel." 
 JH> (Eph. 6:19.)
 JH> Paul demonstrates again and again, throughout the New Testament, how 
 JH> wonderfully his request was granted: 
 JH> "But as it is written [in IsaYah 64:4], Eye hath not seen, nor ear
 JH> heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things 
 JH> YaHVaH hath prepared for them that love him.  But YaHshua hath 
 JH> revealed them unto us by His Spirit:  for the Spirit searcheth
 JH> all  things, yea, the deep things of YaHVaH...Now we have
 JH> received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of
 JH> YaHVaH; that we might know the things that are freely given to us
 JH> of YaHVaH. Which things also we speak, not in the words which
 JH> man's wisdom  teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;
 JH> comparing spiritual things with spiritual."  (I Cor. 2:9-13.)
 JH> In the Book of Acts it is shown that on more than one occasion, when 
 JH> conversions took place and the gift of the Holy Spirit was manifested 
 JH> by the ability to speak in the Hebrew tongue, the result was an
 JH> earnest  desire to make a diligent study of the Word of the Almighty. 
 JH> This was  so when Cornelius was converted (Acts 10:48) and more
 JH> specifically  stated when Paul was at Ephesus and the disciples of
 JH> John the Baptist  became disciples. 
 JH> "And he [Paul] went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the  
 JH> space of three months, disputing and persuading the things      
 JH> concerning the kingdom of YaHshua.  But when divers were
 JH> hardened,      
 JH> and believed not, but spake evil of that way [the believers way] 
 JH> before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated
 JH> the       disciples, disputing daily in the school of one
 JH> Tyrannus.  And       this continued by the space of two years; so
 JH> that all they which       dwelt in Asia heard the word of the
 JH> Sovereign YaHshua, both       Judahites and Greeks." (Acts
 JH> 19:8-10.) 
 JH> It is imperative that every believer recognize the whole intent of the
 JH> Pentecostal experience of the early church.  As the Divine
 JH> Instructor,  the Holy Spirit had brought new light to bear upon the
 JH> Old Testament  Scriptures in conformity with the finished work of
 JH> YaHshua the MessYaH  as Redeemer and Savior.  Because the Church at
 JH> Corinth was losing sight  of this initial and most essential factor,
 JH> Paul found it necessary to  address them specifically on the issues
 JH> involved.
