    I do believe we have to the point of a spiritual "Detente!" May God bless you as you believe what you believe, and may He continue to bless me with I believe. :wavey:

    As I said, my beliefs and yours will NOT keep us from Heaven, Just at arms length here on earth! :thumbsup:

    Love you brother, and respect your position.

    Pastor Paul

    A few questions, if I may:

    Would you take a moment and specify which Biblical guidelines you adhere to?

    In an earlier post I think you said such gifts are not allowed to operate in a worship service. Where are they allowed?

    What steps has your church taken to assure that the gifts are not divisive? I understand the freedom to disagree regarding belief. Does that extend to practice?

    It's a shame how poorly educated our people are.

    Protestants have by and large believed that sign gifts were done away with at the end of the Apostolic Age.

    Within this society there is a heinous theological free-for-all where people just believe whatever they like with no exegetical, historical or theological support.

    See the above, want to make sure NO ONE has to be involved who does not see anything to it as valid, and also to make sure that the authority from pastors/elders are in charge!

    Think we will see NO public tongues/interpretations/prophesy etc more along lines that one might be led to share 'a word" from God in a personal sense to other person in their situation!
