Subject: Holy Spirit baptism and tongues |
Bible Note: Boy you got all of that out of that passage huh? Your hermeneutics sure were busy. Richilou your distorting, taking liberties, and putting meaning and words in people’s mouths at will. I would imagine with your hermeneutics you could get just about anybody to say just about anything you wanted them to say. I have read many white papers and dissertations on this subject and never seen the liberties taken you have managed here. If as I suspect you got this from Dr Thomas Edgar WHO IS A CESSATIONIST, you have to understand his was a foaming at the mouth reply to Dr Jack Deere’s book Surprised by the Spirit. It was written to recoup loses the movement incurred when Dr. Jack Deere a professor at such a prestige citadel “for cessation of the gifts” as Dallas Theological seminary suffered when Dr Deere jumped ship and wrote his book. Even the most ardent cessationist would find fault with this interpretation of that passage. I think it safe to say Benjamin Warfield that set the standard for Dallas Theological seminary’s teaching that Tongues were not for today would blush at such hermeneutics. John MacArthur who also is very much against tongues would not accept the interpretation of this passage you just presented. Would you expect me? |
