Most of those who call themselves fundamentalists believe that "speaking in tongues" put you in a league with the devil, and that the "gift of tongues" has disappeared from the modern scene. (See /The Corinthian Catastrophe/ for an example of Church of Christ teaching on the matter.) B. Those who practice the speaking of tongues are generally grouped into Pentecostalists and Charismatics, not Fundamentalists. While there are in fact many overlapping beliefs, many from each side feel the others are not Christians ("They haven't received the Spirit" or "They are filled with the Devil"). My credentials: I was raised a fundamentalist (Conservative Baptist), helped found a Charismatic church (non-denominational), have attended many of each and many in between (tongues are okay, but not for everybody). Where I settled and what I believe now I will answer on request, but I need not spend net-time doing it. -- ________ ( ) Don Stanwyck @( o o )@ 312-979-3062 ( || ) Cornet-367-3062 ( \__/ ) ihnp4!ihuxr!stanwyck (______) Bell Labs @ Naperville, IL
