B reaking Sound Barrier. b7 *eV. A. Kudra SPentocetal Cburcht One hundred and twentyi est Chistians once tried hold Aqit, obscure ne- oua f ting. They werei 1d 41th fear regardlng kpubliec aiion, whlch hadE condenedWiheir Leader and1 sent Him ta a criminal's death. They gathered in ang exclusive, prearranged "lUppera Rlom" - away froin publict gaze and thc bustlng activity Of th tisreci belaw. Jerusalein was filled wlth thausands of visitors from Mèiny countnies because a! the .ewlsh E'east Day. For nine days the disciples quietly and1 liconspicuoushy threaded their Way tbrough the busy, boist- erous Jerusalern crawds andj Met together in the Uppen Ecoin. But ail their carefuily1 laid-out plans were Interrupt- ed and their quiet meeting was blasted ta amithereens! Let's read the Biblical report o! theE Incident: "When the day o! Pentecosi had now camne, they were ailimeeting ini ane mid, when suddenly thene came from; heaven a ound like a territie Blasut fWhad, and it filled the whole hause where1 they were sitting . . . And they were ail filled with the Igl SiËt" (Acis 2:1-4,1 Imagine! A terrifie blasi o! wind! Pehaps smre of us have heard the awesome saund made by a jet 'plane as ht breaks thraugh the sound barrier. Houses vibrato, walls and celingi crack, window- panes are shattcred, dishes and chinaware tapple over and are broken. Hearing a suporsonic basat for the tirai time is a jolting, starting, unforgettablo ex- perlence. And s0 is each ne- current ane! This was Gad's way ta capture the attention o! ail Jerusaiem "when the day af Pentecost was !ully camne." With a speed infin- itely faster than a jet 'plane, the Holy Spirit descended on the waiting disciples. The silence o! Uic mgo was broken! The silence af the Chistian fear, the silence af Judalstic decay, the silence o! Roman indifference - ail wene rudeiy, starthingly, completely shat- tered by this Pentecostai blasi. The 11sound barnier" was brok- en - God was speaklng froin heaven! The blasi as of a rushing, mighty wind attracted multi- tudes a! Jerusalcrn's citizonny, and they ruzhed to the point ci explosion ta sec what had cmused it. Doctar Luke re- cords: "Now when this wms noised abroad (and what a noise this must have made!), the multitude came together" (Acta 2:6Y. In these days o! religious apathy, mosi Chistian Lead- eru will agree that aur Church- es need anathen supersonie blasi from heavon - anather 4"sound as o! a rushlng, mighty wind". How heartening hI.

This new moving o! the >Ioly Spirit with the distinct- ive Pentecostal feature o! *ipeaking in othen tongues <Acts 2:4; Mk. 16:17-18; 1 Cor. 12-14, et. al.), in the old-line histonicai chunches heu been given space in the Religion section o!

Undon the captian "Speak- Inin Tnge,"T ereads: niuch impresmed by the phen- omnenon kcnown as giossolalia (li~raiy'speaking w i t h tage',whîch appoaned at the finit Pentecost: "And they wene all filled with the Holy Gliat, and began ta speak with ether tangues, as the Ttine gees an ta quote frein the Living Church (Episcopal) editorial, "lSpeaking in tangues is ne langer a phenomenon o! smre odd sect across the street . .. Itisn our midst, and it is bcing practiced by aur clengy and laity who have stature and good reputatian in the Church . . . ts wide- spread introduction would jar againsi aur esthetic sense and some o! aur more strongiy en- trenched misconceptions. But we know that we are mem- bers o! a Church whlch de!- initeiy needs janring ..." Quoiing the Rev. Dennîs J. Bennett, rector o! St. Mark's Church, Van Nuys, California, where Time states that 700 a! a congregation a! 2,000 members have manif ested a sympathetic inieresi in the Peniccostal Experience, gives this poinied description of speaking in tangues: "The gift o! Tangues Is a freeing o! the personality in expressing ane's self more pro- !oundiy, particuiariy towand God, even though the symbols are not understood by the speaker. t does not happen in a trance. The persan is releasing something deeper than the ordinary symbols o! language." Ail o! which agrees with the teaching o! St. Paul in First Cointhians 14. Why has God chosen ta Ibekthe sound barrier in the Ireiigious realm o! this day? What Significance thould be aitached ta these instances of receiving the Pentecostal ex- pnnce in denominational ccesoutside of organized Pentecostalism? Bniefly, we believe three things: Firsi, The Unlvenallty et the Pentecostal Blesslut. God's promise in Joel 2:28 was b4. .Iwil pour, my Spirit upon AUl Flesh ... I and again in Acts 2:17 the saine uni- versality was reiierated, ". .. 1 will pour oui My Spirit upan ai Flesh . . . I" Gd's promise knows no racial or denornina- tional boundanies. Second, the widespread na- ture o! these reports reveals the depth of Spiritual Hfunger in many varying sectWr. of Christendoin - a happy amen for a genuine* spiritual re- vival in the Body a! Christ Third, a Reminder ot the Lord'm moon îeturn. Bath Scniptunes, Joel and Acts 2, have definite connections with Christ's second advent. Thus this new manifestation of iPentecost is a prophetic sign of the centainty and nearness o! the Lord's neturn. iLot the Chunch of the living God pray in this hour of world crises and travail, that the bneath o! God, the Wind a! the Holy Spirit will blow once again, reviving dead, listiess people. 0Victory will come in ane imighty, Penitecostal 50 ni c 1biast!!!
