In a nutshell... While I would baptize anyone in the name of Jesus by immersion, I don't believe that what is said over a person is salvational. I believe speaking in tongues is simply one of many gifts a believer may or may not receive and is not an "initial evidence" of receiving the Spirit, nor is it "initial evidence" of some alleged second baptism of the Spirit as non-Apostolic Pentecostal churches teach, nor should it ever be used as a measuring stick of someone's spirituality.
There's a little more detail on the spiritual abuse web site on the background/beliefs page.
I don't hide what I believe and want to add I have never come on these boards to try and argue these main issues as I did not feel it would have been right to do so. So, I won't get into this area further on AFF. My activity has been pretty much limited to standards issues and spiritual abuse type threads on FCF and AFF. I never joined NFCF.
I wish all of you well. Thanks for the opportunity to share.
