Well...you've made it pretty clear how you feel about how folks feel about praise, the Holy Spirit and how it moves them.
And I guess we will just let it go at that.
A Southern Baptist defending Pentecostal...lol....I would have never dreamed that one as a boy.
Back then they had long hair and no make up and long dresses....they seemed almost like Mennonites to me....different animal today.
My only hard and fast rules about how Christians ought to worship is that they accept salvation and grace with no nuance and that behavior matters and said behavior is pretty well laid out both in the old and new covenants.
Odd how religious threads demonstrate some pretty divergent views.....last one I went on was an Osteen thread....I was negative about him btw.
I do agree with you about most Pentacostals. They are so much more conservative than most Charismatics.
I too remember them from years back. You couldjust about always beg them in K-Mart. Dresses, hair in a pun, men in long sleeved shirts.
It's funny how life has changed.
I used to be the rebel who lived rock and roll and now I'm the lady in Walmart, 44 years old with a baby on my hip, in a skirt. :-)
