Nearly every claim you make here is based upon the tradition of your group.

My group and tradition? LOL That's OK, not everyone is able to discern God's Word and freely admit it. So they say it's 'another's tradition'.

the Charismatic perspective

All your 'titles and categories' to leave you feeling satisfy doesn't mean squat in the end. You just remain the same with no growth.

every believer is baptized in the Holy Spirit.

You believe that? It's must be your tradition speaking.

it is just the fringe groups of believers who think this is the repetitious chanting they claim.

Repetitious chanting? Are you privy to what believers do in private? What you call chanting I'll take as another slur of 'a title' needed to feel justified. Thankfully, Paul instructed believers while others cannot discern what he is saying. It's no biggie, but expected considering 'the churched' today - weak with no power as they don't 'feel the need' to be edified.

"It's no biggie, but expected considering 'the churched' today - weak with no power as they don't 'feel the need' to be edified."

Again, the experience junkies at work. Power? Try the power of the precious blood of the Lamb provided by God, Jesus the Messiah, who rescues broken sinners from themselves...that is power, my FRiend. And, it is all the power I will ever need. Keep your butterflies in the stomach, the ethereal floating of the heart, the "slain in the Spirit", the "feeling the presence of the Lord." It is all in your flesh.

And with respect to every believer being baptized into the Holy Spirit, you wrote...

"You believe that? It's must be your tradition speaking."

Tradition? Well, from the letter you use often, I Cor., comes this passage..."For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all MADE to drink of one Spirit." Tradition? Well, if you consider the words of Paul my tradition, I will gladly wear that.

The Charismatic/Pentecostal movement however...
