If you're SO tired, go to bed! You have missed what I even said and, instead, used the typical ****CONTROL*****FREAQUE*** response of someone who merely wants to disagree because someone doesn't agree 100% with him. What is REALLY absurd is to construct an "experience" of something that happens by God's control and then try to pretend it IS from God. That, my friend, is the gist of what I said. If our experiences do not comport with what Scripture speaks about such experiences, i.e., being "filled" with the Holy Spirit, then our experience SHOULD be questioned.

Show me anywhere in Scripture that the Apostles taught classes in how to speak in tongues! Yet, people DID have that gift and Scripture describes it AND how it was experienced AND its purpose. Anywhere in there about people rolling around on the floor? Barking like dogs? Laughing so uncontrollably that they peed their pants? If THAT was part of the "experience", believe me, those Corinthians would have experienced it first! And Paul would have rebuked them over that as well! Do all thing decently and in order, is what he said - by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

When will you have enough of telling everyone who disagrees with you on this subject that they are WRONG! ABSURD! UNSPIRITUAL! VILE! EVIL! ??? Really, when will it be enough and you finally get it that we can be just as Spirit-filled, just as anointed, just as holy, just as loving, just as obedient as you and your peeps and NOT speak in tongues nor accept its reality for today??? That is what it boils down to. Can you respect and accept Christian brothers and sisters and rejoice in all we DO agree on and let this part go? You need to decide. Now's a good time, while you're tired.
