Not really. It's more interesting that Apostolics do identify those things as a evidence of a genuine moving of the Spirit.
More importantly it wasn't the emotions that convinced me that the original was real, it was the many hours of praying for the experience and then finally speaking in tongues. However, after having experienced the real I think I have a pretty good handle on being able to compare the real experience to any other experience.
Or maybe they weren't just looking and acting the part. It's actually offensive that such is the default take of anyone that falls away. It's sad really that your faith is so fragile that you couldn't handle it if someone really had what you had and fell away. The bible talks about those that have the true genuine thing and fall away. Why is it that when confronted with such an occurrence that you are incapable of accepting it?

You missed what I was saying. By "looking and acting the part" I did not mean they intentionally tried to act like the others, I meant that to all appearances, they could not be distinguished from the others.
I know the Bible talks about Christians who have experienced the Holy Ghost and then falling away. I never denied that.
What I don't understand is why you can't seem to see the contradiction in claiming "the real thing is fake" or that "the fake stuff is real". Real chocolate cannot be fake chocolate. Fake chocolate cannot be real chocolate.
But none of that matters, really. What I'm curious about is why you seem intent on convincing us you are a genuine full blown apostate? What's the point? You don't believe in God anymore? And?
Or are you just really confused, and are hoping somebody might say the right things that give you some faith?
I really don't understand the point of your posts here.
