Subject: Tongues mean Holy Spirit? |
Bible Note: Thanks, Doc. I agree, the Word only is our sole authority. I understand that I don't have to agree with them (although I have to still be Christ-like in my disagreement with them). I agree with what the Word says. If you were me, would you continue to support the service? What I mean is, there is an entire service set aside just so new converts can "tarry" for the Holy Spirit. If these new converts speak in tongues, these leaders say that he/she has been baptized with the Holy Ghost. If the new convert doesn't speak in tongues, then he/she is told that they have not received the "fullness." I disagree so much. Am I being rebellious for not supporting that service? Thank you so much for your help, WTB |
