What does this word salad have to do with the subject? Do you even know the subject? It is the reality that we do not always act upon what we believe. I agree, you are a hard person to speak with.

This is a open forum, if you are not aware. You do not need to be addressing me individually for me to respond to a post. Defensive? That is rather subjective so I will ignore the label. :) I would strongly disagree with your assertion that "many churches" seem to ignore the boundaries set...

The Bible clearly states that they did believe but you seem to not care. I understand a little more about your line of thinking. It is not scripture that drives you but your peculiar sense of reasoning.

I most certainly believe in tongues. It is the actions that is labeled tongues today that is being questioned.

I have clearly shown that you have shoehorned a grammatical definitive (alone) into your verses. Yet you deny it. You have absurdly accused me of shoehorning a noun (baptism) into these verses. I have done no such thing. There are many verses that tie baptism with salvation, without the need...

"apart from additions or modifications"... This is what you are shoehorning into every verse you read. You are blind to this because of your faith alone regeneration theology. I doubt you use this reasoning in your everyday life. The verses that you present are general in nature hence your...
