Ja, among the various ways of trying to explain CC is “charismatic with a seatbelt”.

FWIW I’ve been at the church for 13? years now, and have only heard someone speak in tongues once, at a prayer meeting – and she was praying quietly in a corner.

I think it’s useful to compare notes. Or I just like to talk. One or the other. 😀

Well, I grew up in the Charismatic movement, and have seen the extreme ends of it. I have zero problems with Calvary Chapel and similar groups who accept the gifts of the spirit exist (cessationalism is a flawed doctrine) but there are those who make this into a required step for salvation, and they, also are in error.

Said a prayer that your family gets where they need to, in safety.

Sermon tonight, from the Bapticostals*: Pastor Mike is encouraging us to expect great things from the Holy Spirit in the near future – to put up our sails, expecting the wind to fill them, as t’were. I was raised Baptist, in a tradition that doesn’t expect the more spectacular gifts of the Spirit to be used for today, so I find this interesting – and hopeful. Doesn’t everyone want more of God to show through in their lives?? Is that the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Are we just being humans and slapping labels on things and then we argue about the labels while we agree about the things??
