Hi Luke! I met you at L'Abri the other day. I like your podcast, so funny that I thought you were a participant at L'Abri, not a scholar. You labeled me as a non-Charismatic and I'd love to know the term. I've never knew there was a term for followers of Peter & the HS who wrote at Pentecost about the gift of languages that enabled them to convert 3,000 to Christianity in a day or so. 😊 Pastor Rick Warren used to joke that the first mega church began at Pentecost. Anyways, I'm fine with being labeled, seriously not offended at all but would love to know the term because I do enjoy orthodoxy and feel Evangelical Christians have lost a lot by distancing themselves so far from Orthodox churches or even the Church of England. I so appreciate the churches I've attended in the UK and I will miss it when I return home. Btw, have you read the book, The Gospel According to Jesus by Dr. John MacArthur? It changed my life!! God bless!! ✝️

Hey! Yea sorry didn't mean to label you, just outlining the views... the debate is between charismatics / continuationists vs cessationists. The latter are the non-charismatics. Hope that helps! Nope I haven't read that, will hopefully take a look sometime... currently working through readings on OT violence, but will maybe get to it sometime. All the best!
