Note: Even though I already put it in the thread title, I want to reiterate that I'm posting this in St. Basil the Great's Hall, not St. Justin's, because I don't see any need that this turn into a debate. I don't want one. (This is also why I didn't put it in the general forum.)

I originally copied this essay from a Coptic website that went belly up years ago, I made a point to archive it when I thought it would disappear off the web (posted it a personal Blog years ago where it was stored). I liked it especially coming from the Charismatic end of Protestantism and...
