Re: Experience yes, but charismatic experience is questionable

​
The basis for all experience is the Bible -- if the experience contradicts the Bible it's not from God. Open and shut.

Faith's next statement:
​
In the case of tongues it simply didn't occur after the first few centuries...
​
How do you know this? The Bible doesn't tell you this.

Re: Fruits and the will of the Father
Ringo,
​
You reminded me of a passage from the Tao Te Ching (19):
​
Give up sainthood, renounce wisdom,
And it will be a hundred times better for everyone.
​
Give up kindness, renounce morality,
And people will rediscover devotion and love.
​
