The truth is that Watchman Nee was a Charismatic, only one who did not believe tongues was gibberish or a "heavenly language." Nee believed tongues to be an earthly language. Nee never spoke in tongues himself, but he did advocate "second blessing" and his writings (which I collected and read as if they were inspired during my years in the Charismatic movement) demonstrate contempt for reason and logic, as well as for "cold, dead orthodoxy" which he found so deplorable. Fed up with the unfeeling churchianity of his day, Nee was ripe for the House Church movement in China. His writings demonstrate that he never lost his contempt for organized churches. They also demonstrate a hostility to reason. Nee would have us abandon the use of our brains and "go with the Spirit" instead. His books are balderdash.<br><br>-Robin<br>
