Things have surely slowed for not only this P/AOG forum, but many forums. Seems, if the Lord's 'times of refreshing' doesn't land squarely in a discussion, gathering, or Church culture's lap, interest to repel is ultimately the norm. My opinion, spiritual folly of the hirelings. Seems to be no lack of it.
But what of that lack of savor's fervor? Is the question of the condition of the enduring Church of the Lord Jesus Christ not to be questioned, more holy as somehow taboo? When did we ever stop speaking from the heart?
Yes, the title of this post is in defense of Romans 8:9,
Those who have not yet settled it in their minds against the same dirty old carnal secret of viewing the Pentecostal life as "foolishness" are in my view living on borrowed time. A perilous existence isn't the half of it. And hopefully you aren't among those who spew the same talking points of the 'necessity of speaking in tongues' is why you choose to avoid us as outcast.
What an ignorant and incredibly dangerous choice to live by. God gifts us all individually, all in some way ministering by that same Pentecostal life to the needs He chooses. But to castigate your brother as a vain false teaching pulls upon oneself his own condemning limitation.
Thoughts?

Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8)
