Dear brother Dorrington: The NCT embraced by Sound of Grace does not "condone" Pentecostal/charismatic doctrine. We do accept individual people who hold to that dcotrine to participate on our chat room. I greatly appreciated your post and look forward to hearing more from one who has "been there" and found it is "wanting." I usually am not eager to hear someone speak in dogmatic tones who has little personal experiece in the subject of which he speaks. It is pretty difficult to honsestly represent what "they" believe (regardless what subject you are talking about) if you have been part of "them" or knowm some of "them" very intimently. Caricature is still caricature even if done in ignorance. At this point I see nothing at all in Scripture that in any way encourages me to seek the gift of tongues nor do I see anything in Scripture that says that it is not possible for someone to have that gift today. I am a Don't seek -- Don't forbid, guy. JGR
