“found me in a fellowship where if one did not “speak in tongues” one was more or less shunned.”
Speaking in tongues is a gift of Holy Spirit. Too bad you had a bad experience. Don’t discount churches that operate in the gifts of the Spirit.
In an environment like Marin County...any sort of orthodoxy is quite rare indeed.
the majority of churches here...discuss.....social...issues rather the study and attend to God’s Word.
Ive heard its worse down in San Francisco..
True but it’s not the only gift. There are others and not everyone has the same gifts.
