The Word without the Holy Spirit is nothing but dead text. God's kingdom is not in word only, but in power (I Cor.4:20). When we pray in tongues our spirit prays and our understanding is unfruitful (I Cor.14:14-15).Paul said he would pray both with the Spirit and with the understanding.
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Abuses have occured in s-called Charismatic churches. But soldiers on the field of battle have also misused their guns. That doesn't mean the army should throw away their weapons. The devil is looking for any excuse to persuade Christians to throw out their supernatural weapons of the Spirit.
I serve a supernatural God, not a dead intellectual mascot presiding over dead churches.
