I've been asked NOT to speak in tongues at this event!
 

I have made no promises!

Question - why go? I'd be thinking twice before attending an event where the spirit was shut down.

No CR... Their all ONE in the Lord.. It does not matter..... :highfive

Why go??? Because I prayed about this invitation and felt I should accept it.

Sandra, I'm with CR on this one. I can see jumping through the open doors to minister to people of different faith, but why go somewhere if they specifically ask you to NOT worship the way you do?

Lifeway has been pretty anti-Oneness also ... they won't sell Tom Tenney or TD Jakes books ....

I made no promises, I was only asked.

I am very excited to do this conference, actually I am doing 2 more for them this year!

You never know what GOD is doing, I am excited!

How well do you know the people heading the event?

not well

I'm sure your anointing will shine thru .... God moves in spite of us all ....

if you made no promises, GO AHEAD! if you think you can worship openly....GO DO YOUR THAAAANG!!!! :sing :sing

I don't think so ... :bubble

Sandra Sue, may I speak from my heart?! Thankx...:heeheehee

I can see what tam and others are saying, but let me share what happened here in Flint when you came several months ago.

You rose to the mic, spoke from your heart and sang with anointing...the Spirit of God moved in the room in a REAL and powerful way, and you ministered to me greatly.

I don't recall that your spoke one word in tongues...you may have, but I don't recall it.

The point I am ineptly trying to make is that the Spirit moves in many ways and you can be YOU and real and Spirit led, bending to their wish and show the love of Christ.

We may never know who will be touched by the Spirit of God in a way they have never known before. I say go and let the Lord use you, and no, it is NOT selling out!! JMHO...:sing

This is a bunch a hooey.

They are asking you to deny a key element of your faith. I'm surprised you would let down this much. Oh well, some folks will go to any limit to receive recognition.

What's next? I guess if someone asks you not to use the name of Jesus, you will agree to that also?

If you were invited to lead a prayer at a municipal function and but could only say "Father" or "In your Name" you wouldn't do it .... PP ... just on that premise????

I would sing for the SBC than BH the con-man. Just me. He ain't speaking in tongues he is talking in lips.

I absolutely would not. They would be dictating what is right and wrong. My doing so would send a message that the municipality was more powerful than my God.

Sell out.

Even if it was a Presidential Inauguration????

I would not do it either.

You've never ended a prayer ... with the words "IN YOUR NAME" ..???

Nope, cause that would be denying the faith.

Wouldn't singing at such an event, after this sort of request, send the message that one was willing to quench the Spirit of God?

I'm not sure I'd go. What if the spirit fell and you wanted to speak in tongues...

Tongues is the only manifestation of the Spirit of God???

like you could sing!!!!


:D...

IMO, they aren't asking her to deny anything...she was asked not to speak in tongues...not demanded.

By going and being respectful, she may minister a word in due season that might not be otherwise.

I know I wouldn't.

Denying the faith, denying heritage, denying the power of God, accepting the rule of this world, bowing to false religion...,

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego would be so proud!

i dont buy it! if you were asked to speak/pray at the next Presidential Inauguration i think you would do it with BELLS ON! :sing

I'm sure TF Tenney was asked directly or "indirectly" not to delve to deep into his beliefs at some of the venues he's attended .... and no one can even dare to call him a SELL OUT.

Lead male vocalist at Dateway College of Matrimony, Bubba!

He'd do it in a heartbeat.

I think I've done that on FCF...

she never said she would not....she said she could not make that promise...leaving the door open

So, you are calling me a liar?

I just said I wouldn't do it, and I most assuradly WOULD NEVER!!!!!!!

Being asked not to speak the name of Jesus....

Hmmm....

I think agreeing to not to speak the name of Jesus would be anti-apostolic. Don't you?

What do you know ????

sure he or anyone else would!

So you are calling me a liar too?

Some folks would sell their soul for a pittance of recognition. I am not one of them.

Oh yes some of us would.
