"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" (Romans 8:14). It's a common catch-phrase used in many charismatic circles, but is the way "being led by the Spirit" commonly taught really biblical? What is the difference between being led by the Holy Spirit, and having the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16), or being a doer of the Word (James 1:22)?
Join us for an especially important sacred cow that needs to die or at the very least be re-examined for merit.

Join Dan and Steve as they begin a series on sacred cow theologies and doctrines in the church. What are they and how do we recognize them? Is “seek the Giver, not the gifts." really written anywhere in the Bible? Do we really have the freedom to ignore the Old Testament because “we’re not under the law but under grace?" Or is everything written in the Old Testament to be heeded with no ifs ands or buts? Was Paul’s thorn in the flesh really a disease and if so/not, what does it matter? Grab your Bible and a pitchfork and get ready to slaughter a couple of cows with us. MOO.

Second of Two parts. Join Dan and Steve as they further discuss objections people have to the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and sharing how their private prayer language has led them into a deeper clarity when it comes to hearing from God.
Also: Do charismatics really think they’re better than cessationists? Is it charismatics or cessationists who base their theology on experience? Is it necessary to get rid of the sin in your life first or afterward? Can everyone hear the voice of God or not?

First of two parts.
Join Dan the Man and Stevie B as they share their personal experiences with the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and pretend to have answers to questions you're probably thinking of asking:
Do people really get baptized in the Holy Spirit when they first get saved, or is it a second experience? Does tongues always come with this experience? Is it biblical to ‘tarry’ for the baptism in the Holy Spirit? What are some of the hindrances that keep people from receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit or walking in the light of it?
