Have been back and forth over such an issue adnauseam. . . perhaps as much as you or more.

I've usually found that hostility to tongues etc. has more to do with psychology than theology.

And, as has been said, the person with an experience is rarely if ever at the mercy of one with merely an argument. I don't know what your experiences were like in charismania. There's certainly a lot of silliness that goes under that title. But the authentic is not something I'd trade for.

I know in who I've believed . . . and what HE has taught me and led me into and through is . . . not for sale . . . I'd be brain dead to believe anything less. . . my many experiences have been much toooooo convincing many, many dozens of times over.

Thanks for caring or bothering enough to respond etc.

"my many experiences have been much toooooo convincing many, many dozens of times over. "

As Christians, we should strive to align our beliefs with what is substantiated in God's word, rather than rely on feelings and experience.

That's what Mormons say, though at least you qualify it a bit more. Did you know that too?

The Biblical Christian has a very different position.
