1 | Who groans - us or the Holy Spirit? | Rom 8:26 | Searcher56 | 148273 | ||
Doc, greetings, We do address individuals, as you have, including questions. I think it is impolite not to do so. You said "Please avoid interjecting obvious denominational biases, especially when urged by peers to cease." Actually, tongues is not always denominational issue. There are SBC members who speak in tongues. I do not see "especially when urged by peers to cease." If so, peers is in the plural. Plus, since you said it ... if I say to cease a thread, will you? Bottom line, I see prayon aka Susan mayeb twisting Scripture some ... so I must speak (Acts 17:11) ... and I want to know more on her view. Searcher |

Dear Searcher, The doctrinal statement of the Pentecostal denomination affirms the practice of speaking in tongues: http://www.glinx.com/tilde neila/pentecostal_1.html The doctrinal statement of the Full Gospel denomination affirms the practice of speaking in tongues: http://www.fullgospelcc.org/aboutus/statementoffaith.htm The doctrinal statement of the Foursquare denomination affirms the practice of speaking in tongues: http://www.foursquare.org/index.cfm The doctrinal statement of the Charismatic Episcopal Church affirms the practice of speaking in tongues: http://www.iccec.org/_whowerare/ The doctrinal statements of Baptists do not affirm such practices: http://www.spurgeon.org/tilde-phil/creeds/bc1644.htm http://www.vor.org/truth/1689/1689bc00.html http://www.tlogical.net/newhampshire.htm http://www.preciousheart.net/ethics/Baptist_Confession.htm Nor does the Heidelberg Confession of the Reformed Church: http://mb-soft.com/believe/txh/heidel.htm Nor the Westminster Confession of the Presbyterians: http://www.reformed.org/documents/wcf_with_proofs/ Nor the Declaration of Savoy of the Anglicans: http://www.reformed.org/documents/Savoy_Declaration/ Some Baptists steal, but stealing is not a denominational distinctive of Baptists. Some Anglicans lie, but bearing falsehood is not an Anglican denominational distinctive. Some Pentecostals commit adultry, but unfaithfulness is not a Pentecostal denominational distinctive. Your statement to the contrary cannot make the affirmation of the practice of speaking in tongues cease to be a denominational distinctive. I continue to urge you to cease. In Him, Doc |

3 | Who groans - us or the Holy Spirit? | Rom 8:26 | Morant61 | 148304 | ||
Greetings Doc! However, no one has been discussing any particular denomination view thus far. We have simply been discussing various passages that deal with the issue. If the fact that a particular belive is mentioned in any confession of faith means that one cannot discuss it, we might as well close up shop now and go home! We could not discuss Heaven or Hell. We could not discuss repentance. We could not discuss baptism. We could not discuss salvation. We could not discuss anything! ;-) I would vote to continue the discussions for awhile, since they are not denominationally specific, and since they have been very polite and cordial. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Brother Moran, Amen! I agree whole heartedly! I'm delighted that someone, other than myself, has pointed out the obvious with regards to the forum guidelines and denominational distinctives! I consequently, and with unbounded alacrity, rescind my vote. Indeed, I throw in with you and Searcher! By all means, have at it, gentlemen! Excuse my interuption! :-) :-) In Him, Doc |
