I came from a very conservative formerly PAW and currently independent church. They were/are known for frowning on the gifts of the spirit being used, so much so that the "younger" generation had to leave and see certain things happen at a yearly retreat just to experience basic things like prophecy and interpretation of tongues. Granted, it was mostly in response to some serious abuse of prophecy in the church's past, but it is a real problem. Sometimes we really do throw the baby out with the bathwater with these things.
