Why is it that one must be "Bible believing" (am I correct in interpreting this as "Bible literalist"?) in order to qualify as Christian? It is my understanding that the early Christian Church passed on its teachings to disciples exclusively by word of mouth (whereas the Bible served as a written record but not a teaching tool)...
I like the idea of a religion that consists of wise counsel from clergy members a lot better than one that demands we accept some scriptures as the literal word of God.
Anyway, as you've probably gathered by now, I most certainly do not speak in tongues and would be considered a "lapsed" Protestant at best, so my answer is no.

According to the rules of English language, the answer to your question should be a number. None of us can know that. Yes/no are inappropriate responses. Ekalabbashandia, seekalabba, shantalabba! There! I have spoken in tongues. So I must be spirit-filled.

First, Catholics ARE Christians. The Roman Catholic Church is arguably the oldest Christian denomination and grew to become into the only Christian Church for concerning the 1st 1000 years. Now, there are some ameliorations between the Bibles study by employing Catholics and those study by employing Protestants. Catholic Bibles, of despite translation, incorporate the previous testomony Apocrypha--books no longer interior the unique Hebrew Bible yet further to the Septuagint, a Greek translation executed by employing Hebrew pupils interior the overdue centuries B. C. some present day Protestant translations incorporate the Apocrypha in a separate area, oftentimes between the previous and New Testaments, yet in Catholic translations those books are interior the same places wherein they seem interior the Septuagint. to boot, there are some average ameliorations interior the numbering of a few verses and interior the names of a few previous testomony books. Then of course there are particularly some distinctive translations, each of which (ideally, besides) strives to be as precise and genuine to the unique Hebrew and Greek as a threat. even with the incontrovertible fact that, the nice and cozy button is that, in case you study the same passage in a Catholic Bible and in a Protestant one, the meaning might desire to be for sure the same whether specific words are distinctive. and of course, in case you have been taught in Sunday college or holiday Bible college to renowned the names of all of the books so as, you will discover that a Catholic Bible journeys you up with those Apocryphal books inserted in unpredicted places!

I read my Bible, am a Catholic Christian, I feel the Holy Spirits presence every day of my life, and believe in the gifts of the Spirit although some would say my being Catholic makes me not a Christian.

I assume that since I do not speak in tongues, I am not a "spirit filled, bible-believing Christian"

I do believe - even though not word-to-word to the bible, as it was directed at and designed for the living conditions of another time. The message is a good one, but it should be read in the proper context.

Which VERSION of a book called the Bible?
Christianity? Jesus? Dying?
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
(NOT A VIRGIN BIRTH! - betcha never knew that.)
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Gods do not die? Do they?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us? Big deal!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
If you swallow this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to swallow it too.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing a mental illness and becoming lost.

I am a spirit-filled Christian, though I do not speak in tongues.
I know you probably don't believe that I could be truly spirit-filled without speaking in tongues, but i am. Believe me... I am. I agree with "Christian K".
Praise God!!!
