I wouldn't want to hazard a generic label on ALL BAPTIST churches.
I don't even think Holy Spirit has a LOT of freedom in ALL AoG churches . . . and virtually none in far too many of them.
I think Baptist churches can be very STUCK on the plan of Salvation and other beginning stages of Christianity and their choir and the tidy little boxed ways of doing things.
But, there's probably a place for such churches. Just most of them seem overly stereotypic and sterile, to me. But, so are far too many A of G and other older Pentecostal groups and congregations. I think RELIGION and stagnation sets in about a year and a half into a groups existence. And, that it takes a lot to keep things freshly responsive to Holy Spirit regardless of the flavor of the congregation vis a vis overt Holy Spirit operations or not.
Thankfully, God's Word doesn't return void and in solid preaching of The Word, there must be SOME Holy Spirit involvement MOST of the time IN MOST remotely healthy groups.
But in lots of groups, it seems to me that Holy Spirit may have walked away in sadness over being quenched and rejected routinely.
After all, the order of service is in the bulletin and we CAN'T deviate from THAT HOLY WRIT! Sigh.
Excellent response...as I grow sleepier, I should have punted on answering myself and just let you take that one.
And I agree...many AoG churches have become very comfortable in their form of "religion". Our former AoG pastor used to plan "spontaneous worship" into the service order....
