Indeed MM, and that pride isn't limited to charismatics either :)

That's fer sure.

When I first got saved, my best friend also got saved about the same time (we always did things together) although through an entirely different set of circumstances and I didn't know any thing about it until she told me, me not understanding what really happened to me either.

Anyway, I worked with a guy who was hardcore GARB, down to the toes, and my best friend landed immediately in an AoG church.

Boy, did I get it from both ends. I had a real crash course in the ins and outs of Pentecostal/Charismatic vs GARB cessationist theology.

I was just trying to figure out what had happened to me and establish my own identity in Christ, and was getting it from both (opposite) sides.

Perhaps that partially explains my..... resistance (for lack of a better term) to being told that I have to/can't do ________, because ____________.

I don't know, perhaps the word is stubborn LOL (ducking and running away)

I've come to my own conclusions based upon my experience and study of the scripture and come out convinced that only the blood-bought will be in heaven and that tongues or not will not matter at all there.
