ok, that's an apology from me, I misread your "No" as being "Now" my eyes are getting tired.& it's getting late where I am.
No neither have I nor do I believe that speaking in tongues is part of any modern ministry.
If you don't believe tongues have a place and function among God's people today then I would recommend you read the book "Bruchko" by Bruce Olsen. You can buy a copy cheap at a discount Christian book seller. It's my favorite Christian book, for passing out to non-Christians. Perhaps my favorite book.
But the reason I asked is that you wouldn't be the first member of this forum to engage in a plethra of false accusations against brethren, and further time wasting through argumentum ad ignorantiam and such (to which I answered anyway, by posting regarding the supported history of Islam with links, http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=1870.msg7776#msg7776 of which this forum contains a wealth of information. Yet in the very next post you claimed I did not present any evidence, rather than answering to the post. ).
Just because a person hasn't spoken in tongues does not mean they aren't housing unclean spirits as the last poster who behaved in the fashion you have, eventually admitted to. Inquiring about Pentecostalism just happened to be the shortest route to establish the fact in his case.
Have you asked yourself what inside you, is making you argue in favor of something that you yourself don't believe in, in an effort that accomplishes nothing more than disharmony and animus against brethren?

Why don't you relax and take a day or two and read each of your posts in this thread, and then decide what your participation in this thread has contributed to the forum, and then share a summary of that with us.
How has that participation helped aid in showing our Muslim read-only participant - could-become brethren - the truth?
No reply required, as this is not the sort of forum that I first thought it was. As I have said, I was under the impression that it was more along the lines of discussing Ellis Skolfield's works, ........
Then why were you messing around in this nonsensical thread and category, when the forum has an entire category devoted to Skolfield's books and videos, which even includes a copy and paste of The False Prophet in it's entirety? Or another "Continuous Historic" category rich with subjects related to The False Prophet?
Perhaps because you preferred to bash the Roman Church instead? Carefully and thoughtfully through truth? The witness of this thread would certainly suggest otherwise.
Indeed rather than discuss Mr. Skolfield's eschatology you instead chose to promote the unsupportable idea that the Vatican invented Islam.
http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=1870.msg7690#msg7690A view that is also inconsistent and unworkable with the very view to which you claim to ascribe.
When I initially asked just a few questions about Ribera's unique and unsupportable
view you were promoting, rather than discuss it, you chose to attack me instead. In post after post, page after page ad nauseum.
That's what you call "discussing Ellis Skolfield's works"?
........ to which I also ascribe, as I've said several times now, & has basically been ignored by yourselves.
You had ample opportunity to discuss Skolfield, but instead were too busy wasting our mutual time with this Vatican/Islam thread. To my knowledge you didn't post a single post regarding Skolfield. It was you that ignored yourself.
The purpose of this forum is to help the blind and lost see the truth of Christ Jesus.
And in particular the 1.5 billion - 1/4 of mankind - that is in the bondage of the spirit of antichrist, through the false prophet Mohammed. Posting a bunch of unsupportable nonsense will only further confuse Muslim read-only participants and make relevant subjects less accessible.
EVERYONE who comes to this forum needs to understand that everything they post, will be viewed by Muslims, that have been attracted here by dedicated websites and YouTube channels (and perhaps a few through search engines), so before posting any content one really needs to carefully decide what it will do to advance the purpose of helping to rescue Muslims from Mohammed.
Our purpose is also to arm, the one-in-a-thousand Berean spirited brethren within the body of Christ with additional information, to help our Muslim could-become brothers and sisters, overcome Mohammed's stand-alone 7th century religion.
Over the couple of years that I tried to bring this message to the church in Christian forums, I found the church in the same condition as Ellis had for over 30 years. An eschatologically blind body, that can't see past John Nelson Darby and 17th century Jesuit priest Alcazar.
Over the last couple of years I have become more involved with ministering to Muslims, since as I continued my journey I became increasingly aware of the details, of the opposite nature of Islam to Christianity, and continue to peel back that onion. I opened the forum to catalog that material as well.
The history of Mecca and Islam has become another very large subject in this forum. I believe it's perhaps the most important subject in helping Muslims to overcome Islam, and some may have to do that first, before they can begin to seek out the truth of the Gospel. The history of Mecca is a very important subject for everyone, that everyone can see and understand, whether Christian, Jew, atheist, Hindu or even Muslims with open eyes.
http://www.historyofmecca.com/There are also categories like this Roman Catholic one, to help God's people, overcome institutional bondage.
I see no benefit to myself or others for me to remain a member of this forum, .......
Based on the spectacle and example you presented in this thread for Muslim read-only participants to observe, and the time you wasted of other forum members with your animus, I tend to agree.
You didn't even answer to my last question, simply ignoring it as you did so many others.
An answer as simple as "it didn't" would have sufficed.
....... as has been bourne out by your legalisticness, rather than seeing some form of latitude ........
We gave you as much latitude as you desired. Unfortunately you choose to dig a hole for yourself with it, rather than participating as a constructive member of the forum.
........ within the threads, as I have just replied to resisting. I may catch up with you again some time in the future, but that remains to be seen.
Adios
