Another thing that might show how Jesus prepared for his death is when He
sent His disciples to get things like the donkey.  Also how he made
arrangements for the room for the last supper.  I have heard it preached
that he probably told the owner of the donkey ahead of time that he would
use it.

One the same line as Colleen's question.  I have wondered about the fact
that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost before it was poured
out on the day of Pentecost and that Jesus breathed on the disciples and
said receive ye the Holy Ghost.  This might mean that someone could be
filled with the Holy Ghost without speaking in tongues (atleast before the
birth of the church in Acts 2), which would be a difficult question to deal
with if someone was resisting the evidence of tongues.  Any ideas?

Praise the name of Jesus!  He is excellent in all His doings in the earth!
