I suppose it all depends on how far we want to extend that. I don't believe in them edifying the practicioner. But I do believe their purpose met with edification of the church. Thanks for the references. I appreciate it. Hi Tony,

Thank you for your comments; they are refreshing and encouraging at the same time. Although, I would confess to be a reformed charismatic, I was wondering if you would believe also in addition to the credibility and their authority, that the signs and wonders were used for the building of the church. Just wondering. Anyway, if you would like to know more or whom are "reformed charismatic's", I would invite to look at those affiliated with Sovereign Grace Ministries, led by C.J. Mahaney, the website of Sam Storms, and Wayne Grudem's book on Spiritual Gifts. Hey Mike,

And I'm totally in favor of us embracing Love to the degree that we'll love God with all our heart, soul, mind and spirit; and love our neighbor as ourself; and love our brothers and sisters; and even love for our enemies. I'm totally in favor of folks coveting the "best" gifts. I just can't understand why so many who seek certain manifestations of the spirit have been incapable of really demonstrating this. And btw, this isn't applicable to just charismatics. It's wholly applicable to a whole host of people who claim to believe just like me. If anything, I'm an equal opportunity offender ;) But in answering your question, the answer is no. I don't reject it. But I might reject a prioritization or an emphasis. I don't really know since you and I haven't gone to that detail. Hi Bryan,

And please be gentle with me. Remember your profession and that I have a fragile ego ;) Actually, I would be interested in your reply. I've tried to simply approach the other discussion in a hopefully non-confrontational manner. I figured it was applicable to many evangelical segments. And thanks for visiting. It really is an honor for me. -Mike Hi Adrian,
