How?
This is a serious issue for priests and ministers in all Christian churches.
Every time the church becomes bogged down in religious culture, traditions, forms of worship, ceremonies,
they become a money/land organisational religious group
and then
the Lord either sends a revival or revives individuals with HEALINGS, TONGUES, MIRACLES, PROPHECY, visions, dreams, etc
hardliners including priests get up and condemn the work as being of satan, especially talking in tongues.
that is when they have unknowingly blasphemed.
The traditionalist hold to an errant view that the Holy Spirit was only active in the Apostles
and only in the first century to establish the church.
So naturally if you take that stand then logically when a revival occurs
to whom do you attribute
supernatural works?
