Methodist History, FYI.
"When the Methodist movement was initiated, "many individuals in London, Oxford and Bristol reported supernatural healings, visions, dreams, spiritual impressions, power in evangelizing, [and] extraordinary bestowments of wisdom".[49] John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, "firmly maintained that the Spiritual gifts are a natural consequence of genuine holiness and dwelling of God's Spirit in a man."[49] As such, Methodist Churches hold to the theological position of continuationism.[49] With its history of promoting holiness and experiential faith, many Methodist congregations now engage in charismatic worship since the arrival of the charismatic movement to Methodism, though other Methodist connexions and their congregations eschew it.[50][51]"
It can happen then and there but not here and now?
Interesting concept.
I don't buy it of course but it's an ineresting posistion.
What evidence would one have to support such a posistion I suppose would be my question.
