Bible Note: Dear Whyndell, I have read the scriptures you proffered, and I offer the closing comments Paul gave us, "Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. But let all things be done properly and in an orderly manner." 1 Corinthians 14:39-40 NASB. I claim no superior spirituality, nor a 'higher level' than another man in Christ. I have simply believed and experienced that which is written in the Bible. I have seen fruit and edification of the body of Christ. I battle against over-emotionalism, and study the Word earnestly. You accuse all such believers as 'fake' and 'false.' Well, all I can say is that you have not met 'all,' so save your prejudice. One question, why the fuss about tongues? I don't believe I have made it an issue, or claimed spiritual superiority. Some may, but they aren't me. By the way, if all in my church were to speak English tomorrow morning, it would indeed be in tongues. My church, with few exceptions, is Japanese. I live in Yokohama. :-) As to the cessation of revelation and the emasculation of the 5-fold ministry, please give me scripture that clearly speaks. I do thank you for granting salvation to us, though we may be deluded or liars. Peace be upon you in Christ Jesus. charis |
