Acts of Acts 2

Acts 2:1-4, 7-8, 13 ESV
[1] When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. [2] And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. [3] And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
[7] And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? [8] And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language?
[13] But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”
When the Holy Spirit came the first time some were amazed and others scoffed. This is not unlike today. Even fellow believers sometimes scoff at the suggestion of the Holy Spirit (I think they will have some answering to do when they see Jesus). Just because people laugh at us and call us crazy for our beliefs does not mean we should leave them behind or be silent about them. God will do His work, some people will see and believe and others won’t. Don’t worry about those who hate you and laugh at you, be blessed by the way God works through you and helps those who will listen come to Him through what He says and does through you.
