I think that if you've been invited to sing at an event and the people who have asked you to take part also ask that you not speak in tongues audibly that you should .......

1. either comply or

2. simply not attend.

Could you make a bit simpler? What you've proposed sounds too complicated and we may need another 32 pages to get it sorted out.

I agree.

If I were a pastor I would request all leadership NOT speak in tongues into the mic in personal worship.

I find the request totally reasonable for Pentecostals and non-Pentecostals alike.

That would be your prerogative as the pastor. Personally, I don't have a problem with speaking in tongues in public meetings as long as it isn't majorly disruptive or out of order. There would be times when it might not be (in order I mean).

If asked not to flow in your belief then do not go. It is called integrity.

Is God going to be there if they've banned His Spirit!?! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

I imagine it's a huge honor. All I could suggest is pray about it and follow the leading of God. Maybe even ask the advice of a minister you know and respect.

I think its a big step for them to invite someone like me, God just might be up to something.

Someone has already mentioned if they would pray for the Presidential Inauguration and some discussion was made yesterday on that.

It really is funny to me that when one of our very own was asked to sing several times for the President, that it was wonderful news. Many spent hours upon hours praying and fasting that someone might be touched and "feel" something different while these UPC people sang in Washington.

What's the difference here? Vicki having the Holy Ghost and being asked to sing at this conference is an opportunity for God's spirit to move right in and being that God can do anything.....then anything could happen.

Why so much negative response to this?
