If you post anything on his blog he disagrees with, he will delete it. Which is his right.<br /><br />On the other hand, he has repeatedly come here, and spammed my blog with comments utterly unrelated to the topics. The only purpose is to provide a commercial for his blog.<br /><br />At least twice, I have gone to his blog, and asked him to stop. Mr. Finnell pays no attention. <br /><br />If Mr. Finnell is man enough, perhaps he'll come back and explain himself. <br /><br />Mr. Finnell?Fr Martin Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375628123126091747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-81259932440649723542014-06-21T04:54:05.610-04:002014-06-21T04:54:05.610-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Steve Finnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863026367048527526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-73534811699178114042014-06-11T19:41:15.035-04:002014-06-11T19:41:15.035-04:00Yes, these things can be faked, or emotionally pro...Yes, these things can be faked, or emotionally produced in environments where they are the expected norm. So I truly believe that verse which says, "let all things be done decently and in order". I do know that, for me at least, speaking in tongues was not "emotional", as in a whipped-up fury of emotion, but was a moment of great internal calm and extreme clarity. As a former Evangelical, then Pentecostal, then Episcopalian Protestant who is still trying to find her proper function and place in the Catholic Church, I respectfully submit this link to an article by Fr.Raniero Cantalamessa: http://www.zenit.org/en/articles/father-cantalamessa-explains-why-baptism-in-the-spirit-is-a-gift-for-the-whole-church ~ Rosemarytruthfinder2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02677700018308197978noreply@blogger.com
