Many people are saying John 20: 21-22, but the disciples did not receive the Holy Spirit in order to empower them to preach the Gospel, but to empower them to forgive or retain sins.
This is how a catholic priest can forgive sins.

That passage is one of the most difficult to interpret because they didn't actually receive the indwelling sealing of the Holy Spirit until Pentecost.
John 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
Acts 1:7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

John 20:22.....This is where Jesus, personally, breathed on them after His resurrection. The place in Acts 2 is where they receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit- Jesus, Himself, in His person, was not there.

The gibberish you mistakenly call pentecostal tongues is "glossolalia" which became practiced between the primitive religions. (Encyclopedia Britannica). The tongues at pentecost have been LANGUAGES no longer found out by way of people who have been talking it. talking in tongues became additionally practiced by way of the main corrupt church interior the recent testomony (Corinthians). Paul had to handle the subject because of the fact it became dividing the church. He did this by way of writing between the earliest letters interior the recent testomony. Tongues are on no account reported returned after that writing. The early church fathers on no account experienced them or wrote approximately them. in certainty, "talking in tongues" right this moment in easy terms surfaced around 1900. a million Corinthians 13:8 "Love on no account ends. As for prophecies, they are going to bypass away; AS FOR TONGUES, they are going to quit: as for information, that's going to bypass away." Did talking in tongues consistently accompany the baptism of the Holy Spirit? No. Tongues have been a short-term sign present given to the apostles and close buddies of the apostles with the intention to unfold the gospel without delay. they have run their direction; served their objective. that's been traditionally obvious for the previous 1900 years! And on a private be conscious: i individually be responsive to individuals who talk in tongues yet on the comparable time they're fornicating with their boyfriend. A pastor who became caught having an affair with the church secretary additionally often spoke in tongues for the period of his preaching. Does that sound like being Spirit-crammed to you???? talking in tongues is hardly an illustration of spirituality. Treating others in love is the main suitable of each and every of the presents. this is the genuine try of spirituality. in order that which you be responsive to.
