WHO ARE CHRISTIANS?
The Holy Spirit hax nrnmntcd
mc to reply to a challenge of my
tcilow C liristian, brother Smith.
We are told that to he a Christ
ian means to be "burned aain,"
and to be "horned ajjaln" means
to be born of the Spirit, shouting
ecstatic praises to God and "talk
in with tongues". .Such mani
festations are signs of the coming
of the Sjiii It and an assurance of
Salvation. Hut It has ticen Insln
uatt d that because some of us did
not receive the Spirit in the same
spectacular fashion we are not
Christians.
It is Possible, lwiwi
ho born again of the Spirit with
out a great nsvhic tirli..:iv.-.l
Those who witnessed Christ's
Baptism into the Spirit saw "tha
Spirit descendinii imon him liko a
dove" not like a thunderstt rm
John 1 : 32. Christ did not
kick up hi heels like a aillv rl.il.l
shoutng "Hall, lulah, Hless Cod!'1
I don t woudcr that tlio devni.'.!
120 In the upper room went iian
some peculiar actions on the day
eared lost. I hen whun tlx-v f ml-l.
cnly came lo the full realization
that Christ still lived In the spirit
and was with them, they must
have been insane with Joy.
Hut what folly It is to think
that the people of lone must go
thru l he same stunts that those
disciples were raid lo have done
on that day, In order to be saved!
Sometimes we smile, but more
often w. tp when we see people
hypnoiizcd by walls and chants
an! pornclnr! and prryeii of
much "vain repetition" l.ito tuch
acilons as cause their friends
lo t Ink i hem crazy.
I thank Cod that throwing an
emotional fit is not the only way
of rrctfving the Spirit Into ones
lif . I bilicve- that Chrh't way Is
i he normal way and the wav for
normal people today.
