Re: Time To Turn The Page...
My friend, I have seen this coming for a while. Let me start by saying this, while I do absolutely believe in tongues as the initial evidence, I will be more than happy to fellowship with people who believe in the continued Charismatic experience. My desire is to be more like Christ, and at times, that has made me, especially recently, take some very strong stances against false doctrine.
All in all, let me state this. Do not walk out on the Pentecostal culture. I made this mistake, and it cost me so much, and I almost lost my mind. Why? because I found out through study that the more I tried to distance myself from the experiences, the more through study I could validate every single one of them, including the miraculous and the awesome, as well as the smaller ones.
I do not doubt your sincere desire to draw closer to the Lord and follow His ways. It has also caused me to reconsider many of the beliefs I once held so dear. This is why I am now ehere I am, at the Church where I am, and am again serving as a minister, both in the Church, and also to those who cannot make it to church. JB, please, do not leave pentecost, but instead let God draw you to a deeper Pentecost, a personal one, one that has a finger pointed to Christ, a heart broken and yearning before Him, and a desire to venture past what you know and what you have experienced to a future in Christ led by the Spirit, grounded in the Word.
Love ya bro.
