He believed because of the miracles Phillip performed.

“Now when he [Jesus] was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,” John 2:23–24 (KJV 1900)

So you think tongues and prophecy of today's caliber are scripture?

I think I know my own testimony and if I have anything going for me it's that I believe every thing I read in the Word from day 1

Tongues and Prophecy were scripture before they became written and passed around. They ceased when scripture became complete.

Here's where you miss it. Tongues and Prophecy gave only partial knowledge according to Paul. “For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.” 1 Corinthians 13:9 (KJV 1900)

“But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.” 1 Corinthians 13:10 (KJV 1900)

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16–17 (KJV 1900)

“For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.” 2 Peter 1:17–20 (KJV 1900)

You must have been involved in voodoo or something ..

According to Curtis Edwards, Pagan Pentecostalism: Its Roots: Sex, Sin & Slavery, Voodoo was the religion of African slaves. And even before slavery they would voodoo any religion they took part in. They had voodoo Catholicism for the main part.

The after coming to Haitian and American shores, they voodooed whatever religion they encountered. Voodoo Methodism and voodoo Baptist churches, were common in Louisiana.

Wm. Seymour tried to voodoo the Church of God (Anderson) but got expelled. Shortly thereafter, he voodooed his Wesley Methodism at Azusa street in Los Angeles. He thought voodoo tongues were the same as Bible tongues. This became the Assemblies of God denomination with the Oneness United Pentecostal Church splitting off from them over their antitrinitarian views.

Stick with scripture and we'll be OK .. Keep your private interpretations to yourself and we'll be OK ..

You are diving people rather than gifts. You have apostles divided rest of the believers for one thing. All believers have the privilege of being part of the great commission

Why 12 sent ones from the whole boy ? Why not all of the sent ones?
