Here is one who is "training" the next generation of church leaders.Originally posted by ScottEmerson:
I've never spoken in tongues. My late grandfather did, though. Twice. Both times were when he was in prayer. He prayed more than anyone I knew. Twice, he began speaking words that he honestly didn't know what they meant. He said that he felt the presence of the Holy Spirit quite strongly. My grandfather is from a Presbyterian background before becoming Baptist, and even had a personal copy of "Why Tongues Ceased." Needless to say, after his experience, he threw the book away.
That said, God understands the words. I do believe that singing the ancient hymns, such as "Mighty Fortress Is Our God" in the original German, can be a great way to worship Christ, as well as appreciating the heritage of our faith.
Agreed. One has nothing to do with the other, otherwise, you'd have to account for all of the people who aren't charismatic who listen to CCM and all of the charismatics who don't listen to CCM.Originally posted by Sherrie:
But please Aaron, CCM has nothing to do with being Charismatic. You are just trying to pick a fight.
I knew this thread was moving too smoothly.
Your assumption of everyone who listens to CCM is wrong and opinionated.
I abide in Christ Jesus. So whatever you want to call me for doing so, you do that.

Oh I used to really love playing that song in the early 90's. It's been overdone now...Originally posted by ablfd:

I have been debating wether or not to ask Pastor if he thinks it could be added to the "play-list"...So there goes another smart reply out the window for me huh![]()

My parents were saved out of the hippie generation when CCM became popular and they were never charismatic.Originally posted by Aaron:
Nothing? CCM was accepted first by the charismatics. It is perfect for ecstatic worship experiences. Now it's in the SBC.
My church has incorporated choruses and some "modern worship" into sunday morning praise for 7 or 8 years now and they are about as far from charismatic as you can possibly get. We are talking Conservative Baptist five point Calvinists here.Originally posted by Aaron:
But it hasn't been 10 years yet. Give it time. If CCM stays in it can't help but become charismatic.

Kadosh...
Here's some more of that Charismatic talk, "the Spirit falls." In the past I only heard that among Pentecostals and Charismatics. When someone says "the Spirit falls," they're describing an ecstatic or trance-like, deeply emotional experience thinking it is akin to the signs and wonders of the Holy Ghost in Acts 10:44 and 11:15.Originally posted by yod:
...has anyone ever tried songs in hebrew and english?
I do it all the time and people seem to love it. The Lord moves and the Spirit falls.
I keep it pretty simple hebrew...and repetitive enough for the congregation to jump in when they're ready.
Something about the hebrew language just makes the experience of worship more authentic to me.
And I always thought those things were found in Psalms. Who knew? (BTW, - and I think yod would verify this - weren't the original Hebrew praise songs - as far as we are able to tell- filled with clapping, hallelujahs, glories to God, and rhythmic chanting of "His love endures forever" and such?)Originally posted by Aaron:
handclapping, hallelujah's, glory's to God,
