"By making a doctrine out of a denominational distinctive we risk limiting what can happen in our experience." Speaking in tongues is not a denominational distinctive. As you well know it was first known of at Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2. The fact that denominations have arisen since that time in the religion known as Christianity is irrelevant to the issue. They did not exist when tongues first came. Speaking in tongues was very distinctive, because it was,if you will, the voice of God speaking from the temples of God in the upper room that Pentecost day. It was a voice that made distinction between those who were "comforted in Jerusalem" and the enemies to whom the Lord rendered recompence with that very same voice. Is 66:5 - 14 God made choice that day between those who were accepted and those who were not in Israel. It was the witness as to who was obeying God (Acts 5:32) God's people need this sign so that they will know who is in the body and who is not.

Reading some of the materials on this web site I am struck by this comment in the entry about what Simon saw in Samaria.

“By making a doctrine out of a denominational distinctive we risk limiting what can happen in our experience.”

Speaking in tongues is not a denominational distinctive. As you well know it was first known of at Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2. The fact that denominations have arisen since that time in the religion known as Christianity is irrelevant to the issue. They did not exist when tongues first came.

Speaking in tongues was very distinctive, because it was,if you will, the voice of God speaking from the temples of God in the upper room that Pentecost day. It was a voice that made distinction between those who were “comforted in Jerusalem” and the enemies to whom the Lord rendered recompence with that very same voice. Is 66:5 – 14

God made choice that day between those who were accepted and those who were not in Israel. It was the witness as to who was obeying God (Acts 5:32) God’s people need this sign so that they will know who is in the body and who is not.

You rightly point out the difficulty in trying to base this doctrine on Acts alone but there is much more in the bible on this subject though few recognize it.

I don't know what he would say, and there are many things in his arguments I would disagree with. Personally, I believe it was most likely speaking in tongues, which is more easily 'seen', but it could also have been their peace and joy. I have more to say, but I'll do it in another post.

My question is, what did Simon the Sorcerer "see" that made him offer money for what they did?

To become fluent, practice it. Because I got a good little booklet from them called "What is Speaking in Tongues?", try the Biblical Unitarian web site. They have some of the best research written, I think. Everyone I knew who wanted to speak in tongues for their private prayer life, was able to do it. Friends would do it out loud in special practice meetings, taking turns, to practice enunciation, and boldness, which is used when you may be called upon to speak in tongues and followed by the interpretation of tongues.
