I have said this before, but I guess I need to say it again.
I am not a Charismatic in any sense of the word. In fact much like Robin, I came out of that movement.
My intention of posting my last post was not to defend people like D.Martyn Lloyd-Jones, but to state things that research shows me to be true of them.
I have two books by D.Martyn Lloyd-Jones, in which he makes himself quite clear that he believes in what is referred to in Charismatic circles, as “the second blessing”.
He goes on to make statements to show that he indeed does have Charismatic leanings. However, I think it is safe to say that he is no radical.
That of course does not prove the matter from a Scriptural position, but it does show what he believes the Bible teaches.
As for John Knox, I don't think I want to get into that discussion again. I have seen evidence presented from both sides and all I can say is, so far the evidence that John Knox was used in the gift of prophecy, is in my opinion stronger than the evidence used against this notion.
That does not necessarily mean they are right, but to me anyway it is how I interpret the evidence I have researched.
As for proving them from the Scriptures, why would I try to do that, since my understanding of the matter is more towards what you believe than Charismatics? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
