  1. (sarcasm alert)

    This list is incomplete! I mean, these verses may be OK for us nominal Christians, but the Charismatics need a bit more than that! Where’s “being baptized in the Holy Spirit”? What about “salvation is evidenced by speaking in tongues”? (sarcasm off)

  2. It’s funny, but so true about the Charismatics view of evidence of salvation. I cam through that myself in the 90’s and still hear that today.

    And BTW, my sarcasm device has a toggle switch for easy on, easy off.
