I've been to Pentecostal prayer gatherings several times, and have discussed many basics of the sect rather extensively. But I still seem to encounter points that rouse some serious questions. Speaking in tongues for instance; many consider it "senseless babbling", since there is no understandable language being spoken. Slaying in the spirit, like pastor Benny Hinn does in his "crusades"; how plausible can one deem this kind of practice? Prophesying; I mean, if it is the work of the Holy Spirit, can or should anyone ever expect it to err? Miracle working, including healing through faith; can anyone expect this too to be temporal and not conclusive healings? And so on and so forth.
Please, no sarcasm; this is a serious inquiry and I should ask you to abstain should you have no reasonable answer. Note that any abuse will be reported. Thanks in advance.
