I went to a Pentecostal service. More than once I felt I accidentally walked into a nuthouse.

Ditto, after the dancing started and went on and on and on, the preacher gave up and just went with the flow... The message was not given to the flock... Sorta defeated the purpose of teaching IMHO... Sorry... want some meat with my church service...

= = = =

Yes, that happens sometimes. Some worship times go on when they shouldn't. Sometimes folks try and wind up things pretending it's Holy Spirit.

But the opposite happens probably at least as often.

Why is there not a complaint about the times when HOLY SPIRIT has pressed and anointed for a whole evening of very anointed, meaty, lastingly potent 100% WORSHIP which was set aside because the preacher liked to hear himself talk?

A worship service where HOLY SPIRIT FALLS IN MIGHT AND POWER AND DRAWS FOLKS DEEPER INTO GOD IS LASTINGLY MEATY IN WAYS THAT WORDS--EVEN SCRIPTURAL WORDS FROM MAN--JUST CAN NEVER EVEN BEGIN TO APPROACH OR MATCH. If you have not experienced such, you have missed out on something incredibly meaty and potent.

Ditto that here. In our neck of the woods I hear that the pentecostals lock the doors until the offeratory reaches a certain $ level.

I spent ten years in the movement. Very little meat was my experience -- lots of cookies & cream though. Babes love cookies & cream, can't handle the strong meat. Many of them remain childish for a lifetime.
