“I have been part of too many (non-revelatory and yet sufficiently spooky) circumstances to say otherwise — I am speaking of remarkable guidances, provisions, answers to prayer, striking bits of random knowledge, etc. I would like to see us work out the protocols for how to talk about such things, and think it would be good if Phil and Mark could get together to work it through. I would come too, but my presence there would be less disruptive if I just attended in my dream…”
Phil Johnson responds at Pyromaniacs:
What precipitated Doug’s post yesterday is that in a few weeks Driscoll will be one of the speakers at a conference sponsored by Wilson’s church. Toby Sumpter writes, “Hopefully through this conference in particular a few bridges can be built between Seattle and Moscow, between Driscoll and Wilson, between us Presbyterians and the more groovy parts of the body of Christ. Hopefully we can learn from Driscoll, and hopefully, like good friends, we might have something to offer him.”
Hopefully, that’s diplomatic language suggesting that Wilson and other CREC leaders plan to raise these issues in face-to-face talks with Driscoll and (hopefully) they will try more earnestly to change his mind on the cessationism question—or at the very least persuade him to repent of these luridly sensational, highly doubtful, and spiritually dangerous claims.
See the previous filing - Team Pyro on Driscoll: “Why does Driscoll have such a fixation with obscene subject matter, ribald stories, and racy talk?”
