The article noted that he had jumped in because he was hearing voices.
K commented that most Southern Baptists and Methodists hear voices all the time. I noted that the language used in those two denominations does indicate that believers actually hear the voice of God on a personal basis. It took me a long time to understand that the language is symbolic, not factual. While I hold open the possibility of God speaking directly to me or any other human, this current incident certainly puts another spin on the question.
