After all, the Biblical concept for standards and such would be "perfecting holiness".
I mentioned what I mentioned because, honestly, the issue is wrenching me on the inside.
I know how I was raised.
I know what my church believes.
I know I've experienced God at many times, in mighty ways, at my church in the past and even now.
I know I don't agree with my church, my Pastor, or classical 20th century "Apostolic" teaching concerning the subject of salvation and speaking in tongues.
This issue bothers me, so I usually don't think much about it anymore and have made up my mind that it is in my best interest spiritually to stay where I am.
