I was a Charismatic but saw through the movement after a few years. And I know the "gifts" of today are not anything like the originals. We could begin a thread perhaps and look into it.
You weren't there in the original days. You are mistaken. My former pastor had God grow him a new lung after the old one was surgically removed. FBI investigated and left. I could list a 100 miracles but your heart is set.
Look I'm not nor ever have been part of the charismatic movement. Never. I was saved outside denominational walls and don't buy I to their doctrines. The things I've learned I learned from the Holy Spirit.
BTW, I was not coached to speak in tongues but by the Holy Spirit. I'd never heard of such a thing.
Dave you can't cubby hole people and lump them all into one box. If you abandoned God's gifts then you could never have had them.
Something catastrophic happened to you to turn you aside. That's too bad. Something very breaking caused you to turn against the written words of God. Who did this, thing to you and have you forgiven them?
God sought me out and saved me and baptized me in His Holy Spirit with the gift of tongues. Scriptural basis? Ezekiel chapter 34. God still STILL comes and saves diverse people all over the world.
I don't know where you are coming from but you're wrong to condemn people who have given their life to serve God. NOT some man made denomination.
Honestly I feel for you but if you think you will fill a bag with scriptures and beat others into submission you're wrong. I've walked in these things for over 40 years and refuse to attend churches. We still assemble with other believers but refuse denominations that are men's creations.
I can't convince you and you won't convince us. You are mind set against what the words of God say because of negative perhaps corrupt teachings.
