To think that people in high possitions of the church don't know the differance between The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit (When a person accepts Christ, remember the word OF dicribes WHO is doing the Baptism) and The Baptism with or in The Holy Spirit where Jesus baptizes a person into The Holy Spirit. And how about the differance between praying in tounges and speaking in tounges for the purpose of The Holy Spirit to give an interpitation (not a translation). Many can pray in tounges at one time because they are doing so to God By way of The Holy Spirit. The gift of tounges of the purpose of interpitation, only one can speak at a time. Before so called leaders of the church make statements, they need to do their own research and rely on "hand me down theology". I, as a Baptist, was taught against The Gift of The Holy Spirit, but after asking God not to let me go through life deceived, I was baptised with The Holy Spirit and began to pray in tounges. May my thoughts help someone! Pastor Del It seems a shame that Christians argue so much over Gods word, when that effort should be used reaching out to lost souls.

I tried to run across the state in June!!! STUPID TIME!!!!!! I dehydrated, and had to quit. I found that being almost 7 years older it is going to be tougher. I am considering trying to raise money maybe for the Arkansas Baptist Family and Childcare Agency, or even Lottie Moon. I have two bikes one for the trails, and one for the roads. I find it hard to ride on the roads because I was hit by a car while in seminary. The car hit me almost as hard as Dr. Garrett's exams. :) I may run the OKC Marathon in April. Here's my email address if you would like to correspond off list. pastorjeffthomas@gmail.com Blessings to you brother Jeff I am trying to come out of retirement.

That's great. I'm interested in your attempt at a run across the state of Arkansas. That's a lot of running! I try every year to participate in our annual bike ride across Oklahoma, but a runner I am not. Have a great run. I saw on your website that you are a runner. That’s great.

I am not offended. ;) Thanks to my parents I was taught not to judge a group of people based on a few individuals. I am not bitter, I was just pointing out that your statements about me were wrong. Be careful about judging others. God's blessings to you, I am going out for a morning run. No problem!

I tried earlier in this comment stream to say that we should agree to disagree. You seemed bitter in comment 138. That is why I said that about you being biased. I'm sorry about that. Once again, my brother, let's agree to disagree. No, not because you and I do not agree. I tried earlier in this comment stream to say that we should agree to disagree.

Just because I don't agree with you, brother, I don't think so. You know so little about me. Just because I don't agree with your victim mentality that everyone has a right to be offended. Sorry, BTW, I pastor a racially mixed congregation. Please don't tell me that I hang out with people just like me. Jason, Why do you think I am racially biased?

You obviously have a good reason to be racially biased. One suggestion. Perhaps ministry is not the job for you. On the other hand, maybe it is a perfect job for you. Where else can you hang out with a bunch of people who are just like you? Good luck with that. Well, then Jeff, it looks like I owe you an apology.
