Meat The Trinity Baptism Versus Truth

I went to a church once full of babblers. The trouble was they were NOT obeying the word as there was no interpreter.
Yeah, at the risk of starting the very debate I asked us not to have; that’s one of the reasons I moved away from the Pentecostal church. I accept the gift of tongues (even babbling) as being real but it’s not for public worship and if it does manifest in public then, like you said, it’s supposed to be accompanied by an interpretation.
It’s also possible - and proven throughout the scripture - one can receive the Holy Spirit without a baptism. Including here:
Acts 10:44
Even as Peter was saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the message.
Verse 48
Then Peter asked, 47 “Can anyone object to their being baptized, now that they have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?” 48 So he gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
You want to be baptized in the name of Yahoshua the Messiah? Jesus Christ? Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? The Scripture proves that his grace goes far beyond saying something perfectly.
The problem of our generation is leaven that has been turned into truth over many generations of acceptance. “You say a lie long enough it becomes truth.”
John 14:17
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive
Acts 10:44

And leaven is usually a "bad" thing....except there was this one place in the bible....
Does anybody else remember the passage where something good is likened to leaven?
Is this the one you're after?
Luk 13:20 And again He said, "To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Luk 13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened."
Yes! Winner, Winner, chicken dinner!
Just for the record, one’s prayer tongue is different than the gift of speaking in tongues.
Many don’t know the difference and confusion is the normal result.
