Really, Quix, you post a vanity thread, threaten with your scorn and then prematurely presume everyone who fails to see the Quixicated world view is "unbiblical", "irrational", "thrashers of Holy Spirit's works" and overall incapable of seeing the powerful hand of Almighty God at work in the world to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. Why try it all over again if you start out on the SAME exact footing? Wouldn't you be better off posting this to another site where Scriptural views are stated to everyone who believes the same things?
You defend what you call the gift of the Holy Spirit of "speaking in tongues", so, other than the few anecdotes of friends of friends or someone long ago who did demonstrate the legitimate gift - though you weren't there and only heard it second or third hand - have YOU ever exhibited the ability to tell the Gospel to a person who didn't speak your language? When you worked in China, did you ever suddenly gain the ability to speak Chinese to someone who wanted to learn of Jesus Christ? Is the only experience you have with this "gift" the internal, benefiting yourself, edifying yourself kind?
I'm definitely NOT interested in the same game as last time as these are serious questions - just as last time from me. Can you, will you, be able to discuss this subject with other Christians in a respectful and dignified way? Or is it always going to be a matter of you "defending" the Holy Spirit's honor against heretics? If the latter is the case, then you may want to desist in posting these kinds of threads because all it seems to do is bring out the fangs and cause dissension, not to mention the bruised relationships.
Not my reality.
