Subject: Speaking in tongues? Use by women? |
Bible Note: WTB, Well, I can tell you didn't get the spirit of what I said ,and that's fine. However, you're coming across with an attitude of spiritual superiority and arrogance. This is not necessary:-) For one who apparently claims to be so spiritual as yourself, you also exhibit a great deal of sarcasm. That is your choice, of course. But, is that really "walking in the Spirit"? The bottom line is this: Many good believers- of which I consider you one- have arrived at different conclusions based on their study and understanding of scripture. That doesn't make one wrong. Orthodoxy is not agreement on every point of scripture. Even though I strongly disagree with you and others on the "sign gifts"- particularly tongues and the "baptism of the Holy Spirit" I certainly don't consider you heretical, aberrational, or outside mainstream Christianity. I would hope you'd allow me the same grace and latitude in keeping with Romans 14:1. Finally, please don't be so presumptuous and ASSUME I'm missing something, or I'm less spiritual, and not really knowing God. You're not the only one God is working through:-) You don't have a corner on the truth any more than I do, nor is your view of scripture necessarily THE correct one. Allow for some grace, and learn that it's OK to agree to disagree. I'm not challenging your right to believe as you do. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
