I saw this and thought what a shame it is

The Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC’s) International Mission Board (IMB) has adopted a new policy that forbids missionary candidates from speaking in tongues. The policy, adopted Nov. 15 during the board’s trustee meeting in Huntsville, Ala., reflects ongoing Southern Baptist opposition to charismatic or Pentecostal practices. “In terms of general practice, the majority of Southern Baptists do not accept what is referred to as ‘private prayer language,”‘ states the policy. “Therefore, if ‘private prayer language’ is an ongoing part of his or her conviction and practice, the candidate has eliminated himself or herself from being a representative of the IMB of the SBC.”

I don’t get how people can be so perscriptive about something that is biblical. It goes on to say that the policy is not retroactive, so if you have spoken in tongues then you can be forgiven for this but make sure you don’t do it again. I can think of many words to say, few seem very loving about this so I will refrain for now.
