Bible Note: Hi Mark, Thanks again for your thoughts and input. I appreciate it. Since I can't speak for someone else, I don't know if Janaes' experience is that of Acts 4:31. That's what I'd like clarified:-) We're having a difficult time nailing down and defining what is meant. That is one of the challenges that I see in using terms or phrases that aren't found or based in scripture. I think you'd agree that we need to be careful in that regard. Now, with that said, I don't have a problem fellowshipping with her or anyone else who may differ in their approach to scripture- especially with regard to "annointings". I have many associates that are "in that camp". We may not see eye-to-eye on every matter, but we are one in Christ. This would be a matter of being tolerant in a non-essential matter:-) I would further agree with you that the SBF is not for merely demonstrating ones' prowess in regard to scriptural knowledge. Hopefully I've not come across that way as that is most certainly not my intent. We can all learn from one another. However, I don't feel it harsh or unreasonable to ask someone to back up what they're saying with scripture. I think that's a given. I have a difficult time with those who seem to place experience over the authority of scripture. That's all. As always, I do appreciate your thoughtfulness and the heart in which you communicate.
