The Church of God's greatest Pharisee made an accusation against UCG today that most everyone knows not to be true.
He claims that UCG leaders speak in tongues when they meet in private:
This giving up of the mind to ecstatic utterances has nothing to do with the holy spirit and is often demonic in nature with the foul spirit entering an open and inviting mind.
I want to make this point clear as the evangelical glossolalia speakers are really pushing this from the top in UCG; as an apparent evidence of the holy spirit, to justify their apostasy by claiming that they are growing in the spirit of God.
Dennis Luker and friends were private charismatic’s who often spoke glossolalia in their private meetings, and now that these folks have taken over, there is a push on to make this more open in a more gentle mainstream and less Pentecostal extreme.
I ask the CoE, president and chairman to publish a joint statement that glossolalia is not and will not be permitted in UCG.
Not so strangely UCG does not accept spiritual gifts in terms of anything that they might see as contrary to the supposed authority of the CoE.
