Acts 2 Pentecost: the drunk accusation was caused by incomprehensible tongues, not ecstatic behavior

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 10) 00:54:56 – 00:56:28

Question from Gringo Nebrasa about whether Acts 2 supports drunk-in-the-spirit or ecstatic charismatic behavior.

The actual phenomenon was people hearing their own language from Galileans, which others found incomprehensible and attributed to intoxication.
