One day God did something new, dramatic, and explainable.

That means, there was not a box to put it in with a neat little definition to label it.

The response divided the onlookers into amazed gawkers and name-callers.

Now, the gawkers had all sorts of possibilities going forward, with a full range of options, choices, and opportunities. The gawkers had few.

They were staking our their territory through fear, contempt, or prejudice to one end: that by defining the new group and movement and by explaining its motivation and empowerment, they could shut off all chances of understanding it or embracing the truth of it. I don't suppose this could happen today; could it?

" And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others mocking said, “'They are filled with new wine.'” - Acts 2:12-13 (ESV)
