I have never spoken in tongues so if i am labeled half saved then so be it. I find that all of this experience stuff is advantageous to my life or it can be detrimental. If i just think in the intellectual acceptance by faith way then i am prone to look into the perfect law that gives liberty at one moment and then the next moment forget.
If i just focus on doing then i will become weaker and weaker and more judgemental and more judgemental.
If i say that every thing has been given to me and is all i need to do is appropriate it then i reduce all that is given to me to my performance of it.

I do believe that we are to seek that extra, that special grace, more of the Spirit. I dont think that we can react to all the tongue speakers and fall on the other side and just coast through our christian life. The logic to me is i must be more seeking than the guy who seeks tongues in my prayers so that what power or extra i have will be an example to him that maybe i have found something extra that he has never tapped with tongues. I believe that the word and the Spirit work together in prayer to infuse us with all we desire of the extra.
The Spirit lust within us and we fellowship with Him, if we think more about time slowing down, and we only concentrate on the problems of one day then we will want that relationship to be enlivened really, not theoretical, actual experience of Gods awesome presence. A real moment by moment fellowship with the Holy Ghost through meditation on the word. Yes God speaking directly to us , granting us power , love growth, understanding , in the supernatural way. Giving us a taste of Christ, as we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory so that we long for that grace to be revealed on the last day. We would be caught up in eternity, blasting out of this world, in thinking on things above, moment by moment waiting for that extra supernatural infusion. Peace peace, peace!
