We both have a very similar testimony, only difference being is the FUNDAMENTALS in the 70's were like those of today. IOW their theology is no FUN because it's so MENTAL. And it was
they who look their noses down at us, Why? Because we were trying to get them to receive the very thing we never had when we DID BELIEVE JUST LIKE YOU/THEM before we received.
And as far as I'm concerned, my experience was
we looked at you no different than you looked at unsaved people (then as well as now). And I simply refuse to let you try to make me feel any haughtier than you felt when the heathens accused you/me of being '
holier than thous' because WE were saved and those judging US weren't. IOW check your shoe fit before judging ours. I've seen the left foot of fellowship from FUNDY's way more than CHARISMATICS toward FUNDY's. We're striving to offer fellowship you consider "
MAD" "
DRUNK" even as the "
ungifted/unlearned" did in the days of Charismatic Corinth.
Yep, if what you say is what really happened, I'd agree 100%.
BUT....I also know the difference between throwing out the BABY with the bathwater. A real problem with Christians who meet the biblical definition of being in one of the three groups spoken of in the book of Corinthians.
GROUP ONE would be a
'WHOLE CHURCH of tongue talking' charismatics, TWO would be "
ungifted/unlearned" Christians. THREE would be unsaved "
unbelievers".
So tell me
BarWi, which of those THREE groups do you fit into
TODAY?
NAS 1CO 14:23 Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?
KJV 1CO 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
Are you a tongue talker like the whole Charismatic Church of Corinth?
Are you a Holy Ghost "ungifted/unlearned" Christian who doesn't "speak in tongues"?
Or, are you an "unbeliever" who really isn't even saved as a born-again Christian.
Please just tell me ONE TWO or THREE, and please don't just refuse to answer this simple BIBLE question based upon the infallible WORD OF GOD. Be bold enough to testify to 'the faith that is in you'.
