We say, "We speak in tongues, because that's how the apostles did it!"
And, "We baptize in JEsus' name because that's how the apostles did it!"
But, when I ask if there is scriptural precedent for people simulating sexual acts when demons are cast out, you say "The Bible only speaks in general terms"? Copout, no offense intended.
THe BIble is extremely specific about what is sin, and what is not sin.
And the fact that it's silent on these issues that we are discussing is the only point I"m trying to make.
We can't make sin what the Bible doesn't make sin.

Anwer this for me:
Is smoking a little dope sin?
Is going to casinos gambling sin?
