I will never forget when my friend (who previously attended an Assemblies of God church) went to a Bible study at his Pastor's house once a week and sometimes the Pastor would speak in tongues during their Bible study. My friend worked with a woman who was Baptist that was terrified of being around people who spoke in tongues, yet my friend convinced her to come to the Bible study to see for herself that she has nothing to fear. When his lady friend showed up at the Bible study, as soon as she walked in the door, the Pastor began speaking in tongues very loudly with his hands high in the air, then he fell backwards to the floor! My friend said that even he was freaked out by the incident and when he turned around, his lady friend was running for the hills! 
God is Spirit, and they that worship him MUST worship him IN SPIRIT and IN TRUTH......the preaching of the WORD of GOD is the WORSHIP of GOD and if you got SO BESIDES YOURSELVES in your wild ANTICS and DID NOT have ANY proclamation of the word of GOD, YOU did not worship GOD.......
HE and I had numerous rounds and he RARELY used the word of GOD to actually prove his religion....and or used in out of CONTEXT........
This is clearly a not by works thread.
So yeah, I should have probably just keep right on avoiding this thread, but just wanted to let you know your not helping nobody by ridiculing others and your tasteless jokes.
Anyhow, I've took up too much of your all's time and mine too. So have a good one and party on guys...

BTW that was not sarcasim! I'm an old Jesus Freak, is the term. I truly think God wants happy Children and I've nearly always gone (in the past 41 years)d to Christian churches where we still say Amen, Praise the Lord and thank you Jesus, out loud and sing and clap our hands and enjoy being ourselves with each other and the lord. Sure there's always bible studies, men's or women's meetings also. Un-fortunately that atmosphere is dying out just like us.

All we should do then if we've beaten the subject to death and want to talk about something else just change the title. Some body will always come by and say 'I believer some idiotic non sense like I believe we should do blank on Friday friday was...on Friday, and... We will say what? and we will have another discussion. We don't have to close the present string. I just haven't any ideas what to call it. Any Ideas?

Look at what Jesus said about this subject. It seems you are in error.
John 10 AMPC
27 The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all [else]; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand.
30 I and the Father are One.

Amen VCO, my wife and I have repeatably turned down an invitation to go to a charismatic Saturday afternoon home bible study. And yes the bible study leader is female and speaks in tongue's.
I believe that God used speaking in tongues for the purpose of unbeliever's who needed to hear the Gospel in their native language. My wife and I agreed that speaking in tongues is not something that we wish to partake in and so we declined the invitation to attend the Saturday afternoon bible study.
VCO is there any personal advice you can give us that would be helpful. We also believe that people who speak in tongue's (Ecstatic speech), are leaving themselves vulnerable to the devils minions harassing you. And thank you for any advice you may have, it is very much appreciated since we are continually asked to attend this bible study.
And thanks for the eye opening video, my wife and I watched together.....
God bless!
Acts2:6-8
6) When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7) Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8) Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?

YES, I have a personal, detailed Bible Study that I did before Computers, but now have it saved on my Computer. IT was done because I was asked, by my Sister-inlaws to write, what I believed was the TRUTH about their so-called tongues. One of them was the one that was caught up in the Kundalini Awakening in her church. They flat rejected the info that I wrote. In it I documented, via personal interview, a Pastor who had heard it, while with a personal that could understand the foreign language that was spoken. And it was a demon cursing in a Church on both occasions, one was the Pastors Wife. It is 14 pages of #10 Font, but I would have to Post it on a separate tread and it would have to be a 5 segment Post. I would have request it be for reading only, as I DO NOT WANT TO START A DEBATE on the issue. Would you want that? Decon, is there a better way to post a LONG study like this that you know of.
Dear VCO,
It's too late to try to make me like you. I've already been "activated" by the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, dreaming dreams, seeing visions, full of holy laughter, overflowing joy in Christ Jesus, tasted the secret hidden manna in the Word of God - Nothing left to do but get happy and PRAISE THE LORD and Love God and His People and PREACH the Good News!!! LOL!!!
