The Hip Opinion

Being born and raised here in Tulsa OK the capital of the Charismatic Christian movement I have heard this term before. It dictates that you become a believer in Jesus but then the “Holy Spirit” comes upon you in power with a second act of grace…

A spiritual shot in the arm so to speak… Speaking in tongues is often called the “evidence” of being “baptized in the holy ghost”

Daily Bible Verse 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:01:00 -0400
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; He will surely do it.

Hey whatever works right? I have never spoke in tongues ( I think) But I have felt the presence and seen the evidence of his changing power.

I have visited many of those huge “full gospel” church’s.

• Victory Christian Center
• Guts
• Rhema Bible Church
• Church on the Move
• Grace Fellowship

All of them swinging and dancing and falling and crying and tonguing…Right here in the buckle of the Bible Belt.  It’s all good..

I even went to Higher Dimensions back in the day. But they were exiled out of that charismatic empire for heresy. (Gospel of Inclusion)  I enjoy taking time to study religious attitudes on the net..And blog about it… It’s all part of the search… Ya know?

Hey, I think I may have spoken in tongues while in a recording studio a long time ago… I was recording a song called “Love” Weirdness huh?

What do you think?
