I was baptized "in the titles", years ago.

Yes. I spoke in tongues. But it wasn't the HG speaking through me. I learned how to do it by watching others, like all the other kids around that altar. Fooled everyone. The initial "evidence" didn't serve the purpose of real evidence, did it? Can you tell when someone gets it for real?

Not really. Placebos can do amazing things. Even OPs know that.

All leaves and no fruit is a tree good for nothing but to be cut down and cast into the fire.

There can be no fruit produced without the power. The leaves of a plant produce the power for life in a plant. Without the Sun, no power. Without the leaves, no fruit. Without fruit no fulfilling God's command to multiply.

Power? Like they're talking about in the thread Do "OPs" Really Have More Power than other Christians? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that most don't think so. You'd think since they get it right, God would honor their faith more than anyone else's.

And this would glorify God.... how?

A church I used to attend sent a missions team to Mexico. Came home with a picture of a little girl, standing up from her wheelchair, face beaming. Congregation loved it. But do you think that little girl is now running and playing with her friends? Think how she and her parents must feel about those Americans and the "God" they preached about. Are they "no worse off"? Is false hope better than no hope?

I have, thanks.
