Maybe that's just my cynical outlook, but there's enough wackiness in Christendom that you'll never get anything accomplished if you have to stop and straighten out every little sideshow.

We had an evangelist come once to our church. He asked me about another brother if he had the Holy Ghost. I said "Well I think so, but I am not sure because I often hear him praying with others by going "dadadada" say it say it "dadadada" say it, just let it out" and I indicated he might have learned how to speak in tongues at another church. (I think he came here from a Trinitarian Pentecostal org)
To my amazement, disgust and total disappointment, the evangelist said "well it doesn't matter as long as they get it".....I walked away with suspicion of all evangelists that come through after that.
