He led a discussion in Bible study on why he believes people are tripartate even though most current theologians seem to believe bipartate. Your posts really bring out why it is important, not a minor detail of interest only to theologians. I’m going to forward urls for your 2-part on soul vs. spirit to my pastor.

As someone who had seen Todd Bentley in person recently and wanted a fresh perspective on the man and the mania behind him, I appreciated the sensible, Holy Spirit-driven appraisal of what seemed to me a marginally insane overreaching by "the Church" for revival. As someone who became a Christian in a Pentocostal / Charismatic environment, its tendencies to fawn over signs and wonders and in particular sketchy Charismatic "personalities" have often put me ill at ease. I found in your blog a kindred spirit who does some amazing writing about topics that matter to an average, occasionally intellectual Charismatic who sees his own lacking qualities in a church that desperately needs major transformation rather than fleeting band-aids. In short - all of your writing is fabulous and it's hard for me to pick one post I prefer as the best but your writing about the "Charismatic Crack-up" probably ranks up there.
