I have been in fulltime ministry in the churches for over 26 years. What I have said is based on personal experience. Intimacy with God scares a lot of people. I am not charismatic, I am Pentecostal because God chose to baptize me with the Holy Spirit. I can understand why you would want to leave the Charismatic movement because there is a lot of error in their doctrine, but if you were legitimately baptized with the Holy Spirit and knowingly rejected the Spirit, that is a spiritually dangerous place to be, so I doubt that you had ever experienced the Baptism. As far as the pastor's wife was concerned, we were discussing intimacy with God and she was vehemently opposed to it. It is not a matter of judging, it was observation of her behavior. Moses said that God wanted all men to be prophets Numbers 11:29. That means God wants all people to be filled with His Spirit and to be operating under His direction.Well, you are full of self righteousness. You don't know me but you pass judgment on my relationship with Christ.
I was charismatic for 10 years and then God opened Scripture to me.
I am not deceived by charismata anymore.
You prove you are self righteous not by how you judged MY relationship but then you CONFIRM your self righteous attitudes toward others by pridefully passing judgment on another man's WIFE.
And the clincher is that not once did you even attempt to quote Scripture in defense of your ungodliness.
1 Corinthians 14:22 has apparently been cut out of your Bible.
Tongues are for a sign to.....them that believe not.
You are in disobedience.
Tongues can be used as a sign to unbelievers and also for personal prayer. One of the missionaries said that she could not make any inroads on her mission field until she walked the town praying in tongues. Then she had her breakthrough. But as I said in my previous post, the major sign that results in the most conversions is healing. I think you are judging me. And I never passed judgment on your relationship with Christ, I wasn't even addressing you. One of the things that God whispered to me through His Spirit is this, "Never stop seeking Me, even after You find Me, there is always more." So even if you think you have a relationship with God, we should never stop seeking Him and desiring more of Him and more of His control in our lives. The people who resist the Spirit and refuse a deeper walk with Him are the ones who are in disobedience. Keep growing in grace.
