I get the distinct feeling that because most of you here on this thread are not Pentecostals, you WILL NOT accept any explanation I give. Am I correct? I have really tried my best to be precise. Am I also correct that you non-Pentecostals are very much bothered by my beliefs? You are insisting we Pentecostals are unscriptural in our beliefs, and feel this great need to "correct" our error.
There a great many Scripturally "savvy" Pentecostals around, and many who are not (that's true with Baptists and other denominations). There are many who love the Word of God as much as any of you do (I'm one of them). There are also many Pentecostals who very much love their Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ (and I'm one of them, also). I say you non-Pentecostals are in error. You say we Pentecostals are in error. For the record, when someone disagrees with me on my interpretations, even though I believe I'm right, I would never accuse you of "not knowing the Bible" with the exception of outright opinion and no Scriptural proof. Please afford me the same courtesy. That makes for better discussion.

I will only except a Biblical answer. No one has been able to give me a Biblical example of what is going on in the modern tongues/Pentecostal movement. You will never be able to convince me by your own personal experience.
I'm not bothered by you personally. Although, you are right, I am bothered by the error that is spread, for more to be deceived.
I do pray that you will take heed to the clear and plain scripture given to you. This is dishonoring to God to ignore His Word when it doesn't line up to your own personal view. To ignore plain scripture is not an interpretation problem, it's a disobedience problem.
I also don't doubt your salvation or your love of Jesus. Although, I can't know for sure either way. If you are saved, you must have been misled by a false teacher, maybe a few false teachers. We are warned, there are many among us.
I have also held to false teachings before and have been corrected by dear brothers and sisters in Christ. I am forever grateful for this Biblical correction. I have learned much from sound Biblical correction. I'm sure I will continue to have those around me correct me. I welcome it, as long as the case is made scripturally.
