I disagree with this. I think we have a nation of the uncommitted who "follow" Jesus for the fishes and the loaves. The only reason many haven't turned back is because most of the preachers don't preach real commitment, self denial, REPENTANCE, and so these masses have never had to deal with a "hard saying" and ask "who can hear it?". Hence we have churches full of unconverted people not because they don't speak in tongues but because they don't truly believe and haven't repented of their sins.
