I strongly believe in the gifts of The Holy Spirit for today, but long ago left the Charismatic-Pentecostal movement. First of all, I believe in eternal security. Without understanding that you are eternally secured by Jesus blood shed for you, you have to run on emotion and your own do goodness. You haven’t an anchor.

Emotionalism and lack of grounding leads to a big gap, which becomes filled in with all kinds of hyped up and emotionally driven false spirituality, demons. It’s just the way it is.

I am waiting for a good, decent Church that isn’t full of false spirituality, the false spirit of entertainment and yet believes in eternal security and the gifts of The Holy Spirit for today. God’s people need to wait on Him for what is true and real.

There was a you tube series I saw recently by a pastor who said asking if the gift of tongues is for today was the wrong question.

His conclusion was that the question should be (essentially) *Is what is being practiced today the same thing as the gift of tongues that was evidenced in the NT church?*

I agreed with him completely.

Considering how little what is being claimed to be the gift of tongues follows Scriptural instructions on how the gift is to be expressed, I’d say *No*.

Good Luck!!!

I've long since quit seeking the perfect, and have accepted the fact that it ain't out there.

There is one Perfect; and THAT I'll cling to!

I don't want to miss out; due to my frustration; and strike the rock instead of speaking to it.
