Did I Step on Your Toe(s)??? So Sorry If I Did!
What I use to judge is the word of God.
No, you're not "just sayin", you're just insulting [No insults in what I said. I think you need to list for us what is charismatic, in your mind and way of seeing things.Truly sorry if you read it as an insult!]. I don't have any disdain or disgust with charismatics. I have disdain for false doctrine [your statement says otherwise, Kiddo!].
I have been in that world. In fact when I was saved, that was the world I was thrust into, not knowing any better. I knew nothing of tongues, or healing, or anything about the Charismatic doctrines. I assumed it was all biblical and right because that's what other's were doing. But God showed me the error and took me out of that [I'm happy you found the truth, as it is for you].
And it's not about being "negative". It's called discernment [And discernment is a spiritual gift. Usually one that Pentecostals declare to be under prophecy. I have discernment too, and it doesn't make me either.].
Finally, allow me to say, that whenever you and I discuss things, it ends up with you being judgmental. You often misread my posts, and fire back. I was simply thinking that if one is to truly engage with you on this issue/topic, a more in-depth explanation from you on what is charismatic and what is not should be stated in the post or somewhere along the way.
You have dodged the request, and fired back at me stating insulted you. That was not my intent, to insult you.
And as for the fact that I believe heaven will be filled with all types of folks, not just your particular strain of Baptists, is factual. The Lord says anyone who calls upon my name shall be saved! It doesn't separate Baptist for Assemblies, from Lutherans, to Pentecostals.
To believe that only your particular believes Will get a person to heaven is as shallow as the Jehovah Witnesses, and others. When a church or person begins to eliminate others from the final fellowship [in heaven] that is the early beginnings of false doctrine and cult like teachings.
And to add to my thoughts, heaven will be filled with many different types of Baptists, too!
Can I get a big
"Amen?" :thumbs:
BTW - I say this all in love.Not judgment, or scorn. I'll be along side of you and many others on this board when we all get to heaven! :wavey:
