Charismatic Congregation Mistakes Apologetics for Gift of Tongues

GARY, INDIANA — Congregants at Gary Assemblies of God (GAG) accidentally caught a special movement of the Holy Spirit last Sunday when guest speaker and itinerant apologist Hank Jurek was invited to speak on Christian evidences. Having never heard such foreign content from the pulpit, members naturally assumed Jurek was speaking in tongues (though some thought it was demon possession).One awestruck woman said, “You should have heard him. I have no idea what he was saying (our interpreter was at home recovering from a brutal Spirit-slaying), but hearing a manifestation of the Spirit through Mr. Jurek was just beautiful.”

When asked about the confusion, Jurek responded, “Yeah, I’ve had some pretty interesting reactions to the lecture in the past – mostly scoffing and shoulder shrugging – but definitely nothing resembling epileptic seizures or the dancing of Bill Cosby.”
