Bible Note: 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 |
