At the risk of offending any Charismatics, tongues is not real. What it was, was on the day of Pentecost, people came to a certain town (I forget the name of the town and I have the book that shows it all...however, my dad is here from Indiana to pick up my son and take him up for a month and he's asleep on my couch, so I can't get to the table where it is...when he wakes up, I'll pull it out and post my proof and reference)
Anyway...that certain town was a waterfront town and a HUGE merchant city. People from all over the region came to the dock and went into the town to purchase their goods. So, you had like 12 (I believe it was 12 different cities/languages listed) that were going on. REAL languages. Not gibberish.
Bah....I really wanna post the proof. Now you all got me wanting to sneak around the couch and try to dig it out without waking him up. (He's been driving all night, so he's napping before he heads back)
Anyway...until I can post the proof.....
I was raised United Methodist. Then, when I married my ex, he was raised Pentecostal, so I was into it for awhile. Then, when I married my current husband, he showed me some scripture to debunk a lot of what pentecostals believe. So, I am now Independant Fundamental Baptist.
