The study I linked to in Post #9 is not part of the well established Alpha course, it is simply called an "Alpha Course Study..." because it deals with the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in a very basic form...

by the way, I don't know zone....at all other than through her recent posts
as she has consistently attacked me and called me demonic, simply because I am not a cessationist, I don't have a good impression of her
have I caller her demonic? nope...I tried to reason with her...she just kept up the personal attack
I don't care what she thinks...but I am not the one doing the personal attacking
Preterism is fringe Christianity at best...and a person has to stretch the scriptures beyond belief in order to believe in it

this is exactly why I rarely even enter these discussions. One cannot say what they want to say without attacks from the other side. It's rather discouraging.
I don't personally find others demonic for not agreeing, but I do feel it's important to study both sides to see why one may or may not follow scripture. Unfortunately, interpretation is always different. I'm sorry I upset you. I just wish everyone could discuss certain topics kindly. Without insults. Not saying you do this. But people in general.

I'm not upset
discussion is one thing...attacking and calling names is not acceptable
actually though, the topic of tongues has been discussed to utter exhaustion on this site...pages and pages and pages of it
thanks...appreciate your understanding...I really do try to discuss, but when people come mocking and name calling, I question their intent
no need for that
i didnt say anyone was "demonic for not agreeing".
I said jabbering in nonsense and calling it prayer, or uttering false prophecies and the like is demonic and it is.
its not demonic zone, the Spirit is sending the Father a fax, when we open our mouth its like picking up the phone lol
Thats the reason I left the Pentecostal church,they believe a person didn't get saved unless they spoke In tongues.
oh man...if you're doing that stuff, you are going to be so sorry for it.
it's entirely false and from satan.
Pentecostalism is the ancient heresy of Montanism revived
Neo-Montanism: Pentecostalism is the ancient heresy of Montanism revived
Do a lot of Pentecostal churches believe that? I have been in a few of them and never heard this taught but than again I was in Canada.
I have seen from Holiness Pentecostal churches with their hair in a bun and they looked like they were baptized in lemon juice - sour looking...lol But I knew nothing of their doctrines.
the Pentecostal church has grown up recently, the bible college i got to is Pentecostal and they actually have a class on the false beliefs from some Pentecostal churches.
it's already 'sorted-out' on Jesus' end, may we allow Him to lead us to
sorting it out on ours with Love and Patience and kindness...

OK....thanks for the info. Personally I speak in tongues a lot but most of the people I have seen were baby Christians and were not developed in their speaking.
I love to have my spirit speak mysteries to my Father and Lord. You can be beside me in a church service and never hear me speaking to my Lord in tongues. I even speak in tongues quietly when I play sports - it calms me down..lol
When I hear people say that tongues is not for today - I just shrug it off and consider that statement as viable as when an atheist says to me that Jesus is not real - I say - too late! I know Him already.....I just leave these types in the Lord's hands....

amen brother, it was given as a means to build our most holy faith. toungs is a personal word between the man speaking it and God!
I don't really know If they all believe this way but the two that I went to believed that a person that doesn't speak In tongues didn't get saved.
BTW,I do believe In speaking In tongues but I don't believe It Is required before the person Is saved.
John 3:16
King James version(KJV)
16.)For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

My goodness the bizarre things that religion tries to do to get us in division and strife with each other. It's foolishness.
Eph 1:13 works great for me!
Ephesians 1:13 (NASB)
