I was not there, on the holy mountain with Peter and John and James.
2 Peter 1:17-19 "For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, "This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased "-- and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.…"
John 1:14 "And we saw his glory, the glory of the only begotten son of the Father..."
No, I was not there. But I have the record. I have the truth. And in that truth I'm invited to behold glory, of which nothing is equal. All works that matter flow out of that vision. And nothing else.

But there's reason to have a problem with charismatic experiences that are at best tangenitally (i.e. tenuously, barely) related to the word of God. Like letting a chicken run through a room where water is boiling, and then calling it chicken soup; aahhh, not really. But thanks anyway.
