People from Evangelical groups are seeing that Pentecostal/Charismatic groups have more experience with YHWH. It gets old going to a Church that does not offer the hope of experiencing manifestations of the Spirit of our Creator.

Why? Because people are doctrinally shallow? People seek a sign?

Evangelicals wrote the book on doctrinal shallowness IMO. Tho they come across as scholarly its usually error. Is something wrong with having a sign? One has to have some at least "inner drawing" to even come to Christ.
