How to Know When God's Speaking to You

You know, there, there's the, the, the Southern Baptist, there's Pentecostal Charismatic.

Could you ...

And I don't wanna take us in that direction, but could you kinda describe the three camps? What are they?

[laughs] Well, uh, there's probably more than three camps in-

No

...

the church.

For sure, yeah.

But in terms of those camps, I mean, we have the Evangelical, uh, Christian denominations in America, and I'm talking about Christian believers who believe that the Bible is true.

They believe the Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit.

They're not questioning, uh, you know, on what, what the Bible teaches about marriage or about gender-

Mm-hmm

... or about those kinds of things.

So Baptists, Southern Baptists would fit in the camp of solid Bible-believing Evangelicals.

But most Southern Baptists, not all, uh, w- don't believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit or in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

They would not teach those things.

They would not expect people to walk in those gifts.

They wouldn't-

Like healing

... teach you to-

Or speaking in tongues or interpretation of-

Pray for healing or speaking in tongues, those kinds of thing.

And some, uh, fundamentalists, we would call them, Baptists, teach that God doesn't do those things and that the gifts of the Spirit are not available today, that they teach that miracles don't happen anymore.

Cessationism, yeah.

Yes.
