I guess my point is that if we're trying to do things in an intellectually honest way, “charismatic” or “pentecostal” caucus threads have a much, much greater inherent capacity for theological battles and harsh disputes than, say, Catholic caucus threads. If we are saying that by “charismatic” or “pentecostal,” we're talking about folks who accept that in the current day that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including speaking in tongues, interpreting speech in tongues, prophecy and healing, then I properly belong to this caucus.

That doesn't necessarily mean that I accept as prophecy what is offered here as prophecy.

Disputes among family members should be expected around the dinner table, i.e. in any RF caucus. But non-members must keep their noses out of it.

Jedediah, label your prophecy threads either "Charismatic Caucus" or "Pentecostal Caucus" and use "other" as the only denominational topic. This should help avoid personal attacks and flame wars and provide "safe harbor" for sharing prophecies spoken in first person.

Dear Religion Moderator,

So are you saying that Catholics (and others) who believe in the current-day existence of the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit are properly speaking members of the charismatic caucus?

Thanks for your time.
