You teach your students about the Charismatic faith? You discuss with them about speaking in tongues and people who have the gift of supernatural healing? And, for some reason, your students don't have such problems with what you say? Perhaps my question was not specific enough. I would HOPE that you don't mock or belittle students who may disagree with you on this, or any subject, really. As a former teacher, I know that is the quickest way to turn off the ability to learn and it also diminishes the respect for the teacher, closing off - sometimes for good - future attempts to get through.

That's what I think is happening on these threads and I, personally, would like to see it stop and let it be a place where we can discuss ANY issue without resorting to insults. As we can see, that definitely doesn't make an edifying place to be. At the end of it all, we SHOULD be able to all stay FRiends and accept our differences - especially on what we have admitted are nonessential salvation doctrines. Burned bridges can sometimes never be rebuilt. Though, with God, all things are possible.

Sounds good. Happy to play accordingly.

I only discuss religious stuff when students ask specific questions.

One of the chapters includes a hefty segment on the sociological and psychological aspects of spiritual beliefs and practices, however.
