I’ve never been associated with either the charismatic or the liturgical. My roots are Southern Baptist, my walk with the Lord is about 43 years long and counting, my faith in the Father is built on a personal relationship with Jesus. I abide in Him and He abides in me. My guidance is by the Holy Spirit and the Word.
I rarely read commentaries, non-Scriptural books or listen to sermons. It’s not that I don’t respect the opinions of others, it’s that I respect them all equally. Your opinion means as much to me as the Pope’s. Perhaps it is a Baptist thing, but the little blue haired lady five rows back with her worn out Bible may have a deeper spiritual knowledge than Billy Graham. I’m sure he would agree.
To me, church affiliation is a secondary thing which I have not changed in all these years. I believe that God is not a respecter of denominations, if He were the twelve disciples wouldn’t have been so different.
For all these reasons, I’m confident that I’m not the kind of person you would want for this dialogue.
