Yes he did, and I take that very seriously.
I fellowship at a traditional Presbyterian church, even though I have a Pentecostal background. I am there because the Holy Spirit told me to go there, and He has enabled me to be part of the leadership and to use my gifts for the building up of Christians there. But I wouldn't be there if it was an anti-Charismatic church.
My remarks in the post you quoted were directed for anti-Charismatics who gnash their teeth at other Christians who speak in tongues. From your comments, I don't see you as one of those. There is a world of difference between non-Charismatics and anti-Charismatics. Actually "non-Charismatic" is not quite accurate because it is categorising people from a Charismatic perspective as if the Charismatic is the "standard" of Christian practice, which I do not believe.
My view is that faith and total dependence on Jesus Christ is the standard of Christian life and practice. He is above all denominations and theologies. Charismatics don't "own" Christ. He is too great for that. For 10 years of my life I went to a Charismatic church that believed it was the most spiritual and closest to God out of all the churches in the city. I could never really accept that, and when the gossiping and backbiting got too much for me I joined an Anglican church and found a totally different, refreshing attitude.
Ever since 1980, I have fellowshipped with Anglicans, Baptists, and now Presbyterians. Out of all of them I like the Presbyterian church because of its theology and its openness to Christ and what He can do for believers. A Pentecostal friend of mine said recently that the most powerful prophecies he has received has come from Presbyterian elders. Now that says something, doesn't it? There have been some Presbyterian churches that have embraced the gifts of the Spirit in this country, and because of their stability of doctrine and practice, they have not gone to the excesses of some Pentecostal groups.
I believe that the key for worship practice and the use of the gifts of the Spirit in public church meetings is whether it edifies believers and attracts unbelievers to Christ when they enter the services. I think that the wholesale misuse of tongues and the other demonstrative manifestations of the "spirit" (or flesh?) have not edified believers, and have driven genuine seekers away from those churches. Therefore it is understood that some groups passionately oppose the Charismatic way of worship.
I believe in the modern day use of the gifts of the Spirit, but the standard is that their use must lift Jesus up on high and glorify Him. Jesus is supreme. He is greater than the gifts even. The role of the Holy Spirit is to point us to Jesus and present Him as our complete Saviour and absolute Lord. If a manifestation takes our eyes off the Lord then it cannot be of the Holy Spirit.
Dare I say this? If people are looking for a sensory experience instead of standing by faith on God's Word, then the devil is always there to give them one. The devil's purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. He will steal the true way of using the gifts and replace it without something false; he will kill the true effectiveness of the gifts and have people manifest vain counterfeits, which can be so like the real thing that it takes a person with the gift of discernment of spirits to recognise it for what it really is; and he will set out to destroy good fellowship meetings and the pathway to Christ for unbelievers through the distractions such shows of the flesh will accomplish. The sad thing is that there has been a decline within many Pentecostal groups of the true ministry of the Holy Spirit which used to bring people to Christ, and there has been an upsurge of outward shows of false spirituality and playing to the audience, making worship a spectator sport instead of something that should lift up Christ and draw unbelievers to Him to be saved.
But God will always have a witness to the truth, and He will always have a remnant who will glorify Jesus.
