Which "church"(denomination)...

[ I agree. But how do you discern where the Holy Spirit is? ]

The HS is looking over your shoulder as you type the next post..

[ You mean strange rites and ceremonies like Passover and Baptism? ]

Yes, and many others.. and their variations..
Presence of the Holy Spirit trumps ceremony and sacrament..

[ So, as you see it, people are not smart. I don't quite follow. ]

Denominations are holding pens.. the pasture w/the shepard is outside

[ John 10 talks about one flock, one Shepard. Where are you getting "holding tanks?" ]

I just answered that.. above..
