It is true that I have yet to see anyone change their mind on this message board.....of course we can still hope.
LOL I'd be wrong......so funny, considering this phenomena emerged in Topeka Kansas in 1901 at some supposed revival, before that ecstatic utterances while seen in different places on the globe was not part of the church but of the pagan world.
I actually believe that all these signs and wonders deeply grieve God's heart that we are continually having to affirm our faith by some emotional manifestation.
I am very very glad you realize all the charlatans and babblers that exist, and I do believe that if God needed someone to have this gift to bear witness to the gospel to an unbeliever than in His sovereignty He would do that.
Edification is not an emotional experience, it is to increase in knowledge and deepen our understanding and faith about God.
If there is no interpretation with this tongue which some consider to be a foreign angelic language then how can anyone's knowledge be deepened.
I have the Spirit of Jesus and God's written word, they are what edify.
Simply put .... that just does not seem to be enough for those who seek after signs and wonders.

See now, this is the tough point. The last 14 pages have been filled with scripture saying so, so would one more repeating of it really make any difference? And yeah you could make the same point but then you'd be wrong
The proof is in the pudding. Yes there are fakes and frauds and charlatans and blabbers and arrogants and all kind of weird stuff going on out there.
But there is also a lot of true genuine edification of believers and their assemblies going on as well. The pudding proves that.
God says He wants us to. satan doesn't want us to. Who ya gonna call?
