Good grief...I didn't notice I had shot past the 100 posts mark for my blog. It was an "occasion worthy of a celebration"...hehe.

Anyway, the charismatic debate on Phil Johnson's blog is perhaps going to reach its peak when the Pyromaniac blogs on the prophecies of Spurgeon. For the record, I do believe that God gave a special kind of prophecy to Spurgeon et. al.

To explain a bit further- I do believe that it is God's will that in special instances he will dispense a special "prophecy" to a person whom he chooses. If you're still confused, then check out Garry Vanderveen's excellent article on this subject.

For me at least, debating with charismatics has always been a dead-end...usually with both sides not willing to budge any further at a certain point. It is crucial, I believe, to keep our tempers and emotions in check as we dialogue on this issue- something that is oft forgotten. I too, am guilty of it sometimes. Until then, even when nobody seems to be willing to convert to either side, at least let everyone be "fully convinced in his own mind."-Romans 14:5
