Yes, there is a religious discussion board, but this is something that has been brought up in our discussion here on the GW boards more than a few times-- speaking in tongues, being slain in the spirit, etc. Besides, most of you don't go there anyway.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this subject. Before we start, however, a few guidelines:
1. There is no wrong answer as long as your position is Biblically based.
2. There will be no, and I repeat, NO bashing of other's opinions. It's OK to disagree and ask clarification questions, but do so on the basis of interpretation of Scripture and your experiences, keeping in mind that other's experiences and interpretations might be, and probably are, different and no less valid than your own.
3. This is a test. If we can keep it civl, I don't lock the thread and we can do more like this when they come up.
4. Don't take things too seriously.
So, the question: Why do or why don't you believe that speaking in tongues and/or being slain in the spirit is a valid Biblical doctrine? What experiences or Bible verses do you base that from?
