Oh, it happened, believe me. I met one, preaching at a charismatic church in Canada. He left the country right after declaring his conscientious objector status.

Evidently, there was an anti-war activist professor at a Western Washingon University that gave instruction to young draft dodgers on how to do it. The instruction involved teaching them to work themselves into a frenzy and speak in tongues. The preacher admitted this, but claimed that his speaking in tongues was real, even though he wasn’t even a Christian before receiving this “gift”.

I didn’t say it didn’t happen, and your example of one, isn’t even an example of it, he left the country to avoid the draft, and then became a Canadian preacher.

All that also fits with his being an actual, sincere, and committed conscientious objector as he originally claimed.

The poster ricmc2175 has made two sweeping anti-Christian minister posts on this thread, and I while the first one is easy to dismiss, the second screams for some facts to support it.
