God wants his children to walk with the power. But some will chose not to do so.

Some will reach out and believe that touching their TV screen will heal them while watching TBN.

I have little interest in God giving me power. I watch for His power to manifest. It's all about Him, not about me.

I find it interesting that charismatics think they have some 'right' to bring their practices to churches that have always (and soundly) rejected them. Well, too bad, the SBC and any other Baptist conference, will continue to reject your mummery.

I have little interest in God giving me power.

You have little interest in serving God.

You have little interest in following Christ.

Jhn 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Just admit it, you don't believe God or Christ and have no intent on following the teachings of Christ. No wonder you don't want spirit filled Christians around you to get in your plans to ruin your local congregation with your disbelief.

As a child of God and follower of Christ I have ever right, duty, and obligation to share God's plan of redemption through Christ and the power of Christ to those that believe.

Those that stand in the way will have to answer to God.

you know I've heard all of your arguments against the Gifts we are hereto referring, but I have yet as to hear you bring scripture "in context" discounting the gift of the tongues. You have been presented though with several passages of scripture identifying our stance, and yet you still call it murmery, mumbling, and nonsense, and support your statements, solely based upon personal opinion, constitution and bylaws, and "The Baptist Faith and Order". I say though that if these documents, or statements are contrary to the word of God, then they have no place in a Christian Church, if we serve in a Christian church, we should base our beliefs, and practices solely upon the Bible, and no other source. Once again I do not say that the gift of tongues has any bearing upon ones personal salvation, nor should It be forced into any church, but no one should be excluded from a church family based solely upon their chosen worship outlet. Nor should you chastise anyone for their worship practices without scriptural Merritt. If you have scriptural foundation, (in context) then by all means PLEASE I would love to hear it, otherwise you are giving the baptist a bad face, because as Christians, we all should be able to support our beliefs with scripture.
