Faith in What Gets Heard

The disciples at Pentecost spoke their own language.  They were responsible for what was said, and how it was presented.  They did that.  How it was heard depended on the hearer.  There was no need for the disciples to do other than tell what they had experienced in the words of that experience, to tell their faith as they believed it.  How it was received by those who could receive it was not theirs.  They had to trust those who would hear to hear.  It was their act of faith to say what they could, trusting it would make sense to someone else's heart.
