Is that like some altar workers yelling at him let go, let go , let go! Then someone else coming later and yelling hold on, hold on, it's almost there, hold on.

Had some one come into my office tonight asking why a couple of months ago he was baptized with someone else and they came out of the water speaking in tongues and he hasn't spoken in tongues yet. Is there something wrong with me?

Had another brother that I spent months giving bible studies to, to teach him about the oneness. He finally understood and decided to be baptized again in the name of Jesus. He was baptist and had a hard time understanding tongues. I encouraged him to go to an apostolic bible college in union city.

He went several months and took various courses the first year. Upon returning he took some more courses and finally took Pneumatology. During the course he asked what would happen to him since he hadn't received the Holy Ghost. He was told if he didn't have the Holy Ghost he was going to hell. Ro.8.9 This blunt approach caused him to have second thoughts. He soon decided not to come back even to our church though I tried to counsel him differently.

Don't want to cast a shadow of discredit upon the Bible College for I attended there as well. Some very good teachers and teachings. As a more mature Christian I have heard some crazy things and have just dismissed them to ignorance. I do have a problem with the individual who spoke without sensitivity to the situation. This just goes to show how difficult a task we have in properly knowing how to address the concerns of souls in our own midst.

This has been a difficult topic to put a finger on what exactly keeps one from receiving and another without hardly any difficulty. Not really a 1,2,3 step process. All I know is that the scriptures say that we shall receive and that is what I preach.

God Bless
