But also, as a Southern Baptist, we did not believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, that they still operated today or were meant for today.

Interesting that he says this, as my SBC pastor says the opposite. This is a good illustration of the significant variance you can get with baptist churches.

I did a search on 'speaking in tongues southern baptist' and read a couple of news stories on the proposed ban on 'private prayer language' for missionaries. That seems to be the most recent example of the variety of understanding about the manifestations of the Spirit within the SBC. The USA Today story from April seemed fairly even-handed, people on both sides were quoted.
