Interesting Report From LIfeway on Private Prayer Language
It will be interesting to see how this plays out in future SBC policies.
I think that would be considered a truly conservative view in the truest (and, I believe, proper) sense of the word.
A new study by LifeWay Research on the use of private prayer language indicates that half of Southern Baptist pastors believe the Holy Spirit gives some people a special language to pray to God, Baptist Press reports. The study also indicates the majority of Protestant senior pastors (63 percent) and laity (51 percent) believe in the gift of a private prayer language. Some people refer to "Private Prayer Language" as the use of tongues. Non-SBC pastors are more likely to believe that the Holy Spirit gives some people a private prayer language than Southern Baptist pastors.My view on private prayer languages? The Holy Spirit can do or give anything He wants to and I have yet to be asked either for permission or opinion...and I doubt the SBC has either.

Amen brother! Let's let God do what He wants to do, and let's stop trying to run everyone else's spiritual beliefs.
I found that report interesting as well. I am in the PCA, and although we are known to have many cessationists, I bet if they took a poll, it would come out very similar to the SBC's poll. bill from ProvocativeChurch
This is unrelated, but I just wanted to congratulate you!

I'm a little late on the response, Zoner, but that's pretty funny. Actually, there's an amazing resemblance, don't you think?
