I didn't get that from the article Daniel, rather that some applicants for license wanted to make sure that the org. understood that they didn't want to be held to tongues as an initial evidence of the Holy Ghost, as it might scare some visitors.
But I did find interesting his statement about the Godhead. As he was singing and running through the pasture at his grandmother's house. "Drinking deeply from my relationship with the third PERSON of the Godhead.
Overall I got that they would rather have the Holy Ghost and tongues instead of watering down what they believe to fill a pew. Some of them seem to think Jesus won't show up unless they have a program geared to our flesh instead of our spirit.

I have seen your posts before but I don't know you. Do you go to Christ Church?

No real problem exists over the use of "The Name" in everthing else done in the Church. Why then should there exist great controversy over the use of the "The Name of the Godhead" in water baptism?

Re: AGs will debate Tongues at the next GC

Apparently the FutureAG blog brought a lot of controversy w/ its divergent opinions on various issues and is inactive at least temporarily ... From their site:

Quote:
It was our hope that those of us who interacted on this site could begin to figure out our true identity together. Rather than waiting for another “top down” initiative from Springfield we could build consensus from the ground up. 



At the same time, we made a pledge to the leaders of our fellowship and our colleagues in the ministry that we would do everything we could to avoid divisive and negative content.

We wanted to create a place where we could disagree but disagree with love.

This has increasingly become a challenge. All of us are full-time ministers and many of us are also pursuing post-graduate degrees, writing projects, and blogs of our own. We do not have the time to read through all of the comments – much less “monitor” all of them.

So we have decided to close down FutureAG for the time being, with the possibility of opening it up again sometime in the future (possibly prior to the next General Council in 2009).

This is what happens when folks do not preach what they were founded on it ceases to exist.

I am in favor of so-called "seeker rooms".

Are you saying they have ceased to preach ... hence the Spirit of God has stopped manifesting through the evidence of tongues?

Or that this org is slipping further down the slippery slope ????

We always called them prayer rooms. But still, how do you stop the Holy Ghost from an outpouring in the sanctuary during a service? To me the gist of it is if someone starts speaking in tongues during service with visitors, we want them to go to another room to speak in tongues. Can we say quench the Spirit.

I don't know Daniel, as the link you posted was about the meeting in 2003.
