You and I were sharing in the main forum about some of the mess we have seen in the UK pentecostal churches, you shared that you were pioneering a church ' to a different drumbeat' within WOF. That makes you post-something. The post charismatic people are looking for charismatic in the sense of spirit filled but to a different drum beat from what they have seen.
I dont think there is much difference between you and some of them, they stand on the promises of God, believe in the gifts, but reject some of the extremes they have soon, as i gather you do too! 
I think you hit the nail on the head, which is why it doesn't make sense for their to be such a gulf of division and hostility. Makes me sad.

Jesus understood this profound will of the Father and I am sure glad we have wofers around today who understand it also. |

the others will put a question mark.

EXACTLY! This really is the core difference. The whole not knowing the will of God for your life.......does HE want you healed or not, does HE want you poor or not, does HE want you to suffer or not.

I cannot post any links yet, though when able, I'll bring out the resources necessary for doing so...
