This is definitely an interesting and insightful post. I think you point out how the attention paid to the mind can be a good thing or bad thing. The mind is an important aspect of Christianity, but so is the spirit. <BR/><BR/>On another note, I knew a counselor that was Anglican. It's funny that the two Anglicans I have met (in real life or in cyberspace) are counselors.Chancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715105658994917163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-811680178127587252.post-26878748392754687162007-02-14T14:21:00.000-05:002007-02-14T14:21:00.000-05:00I like Katheryn Kulman who deeply understands that...I like Katheryn Kulman who deeply understands that the Lord Jesus Christ lives in me by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Movie and TV often portrays evangelicals as emotional or simple-minded. In fact, behind some of the emotions of conversion is a tremendous rationality. Rather than conversion being a matter of emotion, Baptist theology tends to cast it as an act of the mind or will - the opposite of many of the images that are used to slam evangelicals like Southern Baptists.<BR/><BR/>I am wondering about the origins of this intellectual view of faith. The Baptist opposition to speaking in tongues seems rooted in their public embracing of dispensationalism. Rather than asking how to do the works of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit, their rational theology reasons that the absence of those works today is proof that they were temporary gifts given to establish the Church until the canon of scripture was set. This position leads them to misinterpret Paul's state about spiritual gifts ceasing when that which is perfect is come (1 Corinthians 13). Clearly Paul is envisioning the coming of Christ and the life of the kingdom of God when partial revelation will give way to the fullness of God's presence and relationship with us.<BR/><BR/>In his books, "Surprised by the Power of God" and "Surprised by the Voice of God", former Baptist theologian Jack Deere shares a compelling account of his shift from dispensationalism to embracing the power and gifts and the Holy Spirit as described in the bible. I have come to a place where I cannot preach about a Jesus who cannot, or will not, do today all that the bible says he will do. This has not been a rational change and much as a change of heart. Speaking in tongues has become a wonderful means of prayer that helps me go beyond the limitations of my intellect. The child-like faith I exercise in praying from my born-again spirit through the power of the Holy Spirit helps me open up to God's ability to do beyond my wildest dreams. Like others, I constantly fall short of the fullness that is truly available - and is what I believe to be God's highest will for us. But I can't rationalize that reality away based on my short-fall because I have tasted enough of the real to know that there is gold in those hills that is worth the effort to mine it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
