Which one is false? every doctrine seems to follow God. I meant the Methodist love Jesus as well as the Baptist. The Assembly of God love Jesus as well as some Catholics. The church of God needs to fess up, cause the only difference between The COG and the AOG is that tongues can only be performed in a service three times. The Congregational Holiness church has the only difference that women can't wear pants. Most baptist illustrate that the-only difference is that they don't speak in tongues.While some Baptist say it is demonic. Some methodist and Baptist and Lutheran say that miracles have ceased. Even if a man was raised from the dead in front of their very eys they will still deny it.
So what do we do, argue, debate, call each other names. Yet we sall agree that Jesus is our Savior. Why is this so?
Well Kerry, is He a Savior or a chance-giver?
I say he is the Savior.
Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for HE SHALL SAVE His people from their sins.
Everyone who (having the Lord Jesus adequately defined) trusts Him as Savior (eternal destiny), is to be recognized as a brother in the Lord.
Recognizing the word of the Lord is a legitimate issue, as "My sheep hear my voice." So if someone spouts off & claims it is prophecy, if it is prophecy those who deny that it is indicate they are not sheep. And if it is not prophecy, those who say it is indicate they are not sheep.
I go a lot to a church that speaks in tongues, namely Spanish, English, and perhaps a little Portuguese. The word "tongue" just means language. Standing up & spouting off untranslatable gibberish is not the gift of languages -- which I don't believe is extant. I don't know anyone who can stand up & preach in a language he never studied or learned.
It is a serious matter to claim to be prophesying in a language ("tongue") when you are just jabbering or demon-possessed.
I give 'em credit who wish to limit it to 3 speakers, as at least making a stab at following 1 Cor 14. Now are they also keeping the women silent, for it is not permitted for them to speak? let alone shriek.
You have no way of rating the love-level of the average person in a given denomination. Only the Lord knows that. If you visited 90 percent of the churches in a denomination over a number of years with an army of data gatherers, you might come up with a civility rating.
