A little strong but not off point. Yes a lot of churches are indeed dead because they deny any signs of actual life.
But I would caution, that as much as not all cessationists blatantly attribute all manifestation as demonic, not all cessationist denominations are failing to do God's work. I know of many churches that do not operate in the gifts, and yet are doing great things for God.
I don't blame cessationists for their views, a lot of what they show as evidence is valid. But to toss the baby with the bathwater -again, would satan work so hard to make the waters so dirty if there were not a truth he is trying to obscure? Something he's trying to stop?
And yeah, I fear for those who come out and proudly say it. I pray they not be part of those told to depart, but scripture is pretty clear here. Noose you are first on my prayer list these days. I don't care if you ever come around to see it our way, but PLEASE stop saying every manifestation is of satan. You're human - don't throw your soul away on the chance you can't be wrong.

Basically what I am saying here:
Acting like a police officer, where there is a robbery and you take everyone in until each person can either prove their innocence or admit their guilt is not a bad thing. Yes, at one point in my scenario, everyone is seen as guilty. But in the end, typically the bad people are caught and the good people go home free.
But in the case of accepting or calling those who speak in Tongues as followers of the Adversary, is beyond reason and at the point of revealing JUST HOW STUPID SOME BELIEVERS FROM DEAD CHURCHES EXACTLY ARE!!
I look at EVERY POSTER HERE, who believes, that Tongues is dead and those who do it are of the Adversary. And generally what I have seen, is OVER RATED OPINIONS THAT ARE FAR FETCHED.
And you know what that PSYCHOLOGICALLY REVEALS TO PEOPLE WITH A CLUE?
Weak minded, weak kneed, struggling in life to overcome everything, defeated, hypocritical, and without God they would be nothing. And it's obvious you must then ask, DO THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN GOD TO HAVE SUCH PATHETIC LIVES AND NO VICTORY?
Because it's the people WHO ARE LOSERS, that are the ones doing the things to BRING THOSE FREE IN GOD AND FULL OF VICTORY down to their PATHETIC LEVEL!!
And when I see this, like we can on this very forum and thread, I crank my music LOUDER and get my mind focused on God and WORSHIP HIM while speaking in Tongues, because in this stupid debate, I AM WINNING!!
Yes, definitely we should pray for them. But I am never going to LOWER MYSELF to their level and give up what God has blessed me with through the Holy Spirit!!
