Concerning Acts 2:1-5, my pastor yesterday said that the text says that The Holy Spirit was given only to the Apostles and the tongues were just to them and not to all the diciples. I have never heard this before and he argued that this is what enabled them to write the Scriptures.
My stincts tell me to disagree because if this was true and Pentecost was a 1x event (which he strongly believes), then how could you argue for Luke, Paul, and James to be included in the canon given they were not the apostles. All commentaries I've checked in Logos (platnium) disagree, but he is my pastor so I thought I would post this to you guys.
