Try a One God, Holy Ghost filled, tongue speaking, laying on of hands healing, dancing in the isles, hand raising, hand clapping, jumping, Jesus name only baptizing Pentecostal church.

You will never go back

Do you have a copy of their liturgy I could peruse?

You're right. I tried one of those one time, and never went back.

I don't personally find that style of church works for me, although if it helps someone else find the Lord, good for it and them. There's certainly numerous statements in the Bible that support praising the Lord with dance, etc.

However, I am bothered by one thing. When I read the story of the Pentecost, what I read is that when the apostles began to speak in tongues, those tongues were all recognized as current languages by people of the various lands there where those languages were native. However, when I hear of people who "speak in tongues" at Pentecostal churches, it's my impression that no one there knows what they are saying, and that they are not current languages. Is that true? How does that match up with Scripture?
