Well, here I am \u2014 just back from holiday \u2014 and what do I find? Talk about whilst the cat\u2019s away the mice will play?!?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

Over at TeamPyro, <\/span>Dan has a four part response<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>my set of questions on tongues and gifts<\/span><\/a> which I bashed out quickly before I left. I have read all of Dan\u2019s posts and every one of the comments. Sadly, it seems that there are few, if any, charismatics who read TeamPyro, or if they do, they seem too frit of Dan to respond!\n

<\/a>I want to say right at the outset that I respect and admire Dan for taking the time to take me to task so comprehensively. I have never read a better theological discussion on \u201cthe other side.\u201d It is my opinion that theology should be written in community, and to be honest, this kind of interaction helps me to understand how and why people whom I respect come to different conclusions than I do. Perhaps blogging may eventually lead to some kind of theological convergence on these and other controversial issues. I love the fact that in Dan I can interact with someone who is no straw man of my creation. Dan does, at times, extend what I said in my post further than I would have wanted to go myself before demolishing the morphed viewpoint, but even in so doing, it is helpful for me to understand how I am perceived by others.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I loved the broadly generous <\/strong>nature of his comments, and the discussion that ensued \u2014 for example, the way in which one of his commenters, Centurion, said, \u201cUnfortunately, Adrian is the other side right now.\u201d It seems to me that behind that comment is a whole bunch of \u201cother stuff\u201d that could be said, and which would go something like this . . . \u201cAdrian is someone who, most of the time, we\u2019re happy to agree with \u2014 if only he didn\u2019t have those crazy charismatic ideas!\u201d If I have \u201cinterpreted\u201d this comment correctly, well then guys . . . the feeling is mutual!<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, there have been a few other responses; here are the ones I\u2019ve found \u2014 by all means use the comment box on this post to let me know of other posts on blogs you know about \u2014 you can use the following code within a comment: <a href=\u201d<\/p><\/span>http:\/\/yoururl.com\/<\/span><\/a>\u201d>your link text <\/a>\n
