Las Vegas churches?
 

I'm going to Las Vegas in October and planning on attending a Sunday service somewhere in that vicinity.


Any suggestions?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Let me narrow the options.

1) Not an ultracon church

2) Must be a Spirit-filled
church

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Isn't every church a Spirit-filled church?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

NO. some congregations don't
beleive in Spirit baptism,.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Hmmm, interesting. I've never heard of a church that didn't believe in the Holy Spirit.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Have you heard of Cessationism?

I want to go to a church that believes that speaking in tongues accompanies the baptism of the HOly Spirit.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

OOOOOOhhhhhhh, I get it now. You think you folks that possess the gift of tongues are the only people that have the Holy Spirit in your church.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Let's please stay on topic.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Who rattled your cage?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

So do you know of a church in the Las Vegas area?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Oh, I certainly do. And as a bonus, just for you, it's Spirit Filled!

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

It's not that "chapel" on the Strip where the Elvis impersonator will marry a drunk to a hooker for $50 is it?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

$50??? Little steep isn't it?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Okay, what is it's name and does it have a website?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

There is a large church there that is pastored by Benny Perez. It is not what you would call a oneness church but it is what you would call spirit-filled.

I'd prefer a Oneness church.

But the church you mentioned is having a conference that week end in October....

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Benny Perez is the Brother-in-law to Judah Smith that has been talked about on AFF a bit. Judah's church baptizes in Jesus name misxed with the titles. Maybe Benny's does too. Would that be a bad compromise?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Oh man that conference looks awesome!

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Yeah, but is the conference Spirit-Filled?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Who knows? Would have to go and see or go feel at least.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Thank you, I'll check it out and pray about where God would
like me to go.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

If you get God involved, He might prefer you to hang out in a casino and befriend someone who is gambling their life away in a desperate attempt to find hope.

But what about that church? Do you think it's "Spirit-Filled"? If a church isn't active in speaking in tongues, is it not Spirit-filled?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

I want to go somewhere where if I
lift up my hands to worship God or if tears start running down my face, I won't feel out of place.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

The person I'm visiting deals
black jack at a casino. Does that count?

This is what I like about the church Tullock suggested:

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

But if a church does not actively practice speaking in tongues, is it not "Spirit-filled?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

I'm not sure what you're asking me.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

It's really a simple question....are you saying that a church that does not actively participate in public "Tongue-talking" in the public worship service, is not a "Spirit-Filled" church?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

I don't know what you mean by " actively participate in public "Tongue-talking" in the public worship service,". What are you talking about?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Then you should feel at home at that church. Benny is always preaching about the HG and tongues on TV. Just know that it is a charismatic church so there will be bobbed-hair and panted faces and that is just the guys.


:thumbsup

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Every church is a spirit-filled church. The real question, is the church a Holy spirit-filled church. Satanic churches are spirit-filled, but not a good spirit. But to answer your question I think tongues accompany the spirit, but churches that don't actively speak in tongues are still spirit-filled, but possible don't have the gifts of tongues active there in.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

You're joking, right? You really don't wanna answer this question, do you?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

I think it is incredibly arrogant for one to look at the First Apostolic Church of 5th Street and say, "That's a Spirit-filled church", then turn to the First Methodist Church of 3rd Street and say, "That church is NOT Spirit-filled." The Holy Spirit operates in many ways besides tongues.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

I'd have no problem answering your question if I knew what you were asking? Care to try rewording?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

I agree. You weren't pointing a finger at me saying I was doing that were you? :grampa

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Okay, now I think I understand. (I think)
I don't doubt that the Spirit is working in the lives of those in the methodist church. I'm sure the Spirit is working there.


To be Spirit filled a believer has to be filled with the Spirit or iow, baptized with the Spirit. The evidence of Spirit baptizm is speaking with other tongues


.

That said Laodicea was a Spirit filled church yet they were carnal and dead.

'm looking for a church that is Spirit filled and alive. Prefer one that believes God is one person and baptizes in the name of Jesus Christ, but if that includes dress standards, I'm not interested.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

You're making me work way too hard for this. So here it is one more time....what would qualify as a "Spirit-Filled Church" for you? You said you wanted to go to a Spirit-filled church, so.....what constitutes a "Spirit-Filled Church"?

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Newp. I'm just throwing a fit about those who say, "That's a Spirit-filled church" as if some churches aren't. And when the cliche is used, it only means one thing but getting Mizpeh to admit it is like getting blood out of a turnip.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

So is it possible that an orthodox Methodist church to be Spirit-filled? Or a church that belongs to the Southern Baptist Convention? The legendary church pastored by W.A. Criswell...was it a Spirit-filled Church? Are the crusades held by Billy Graham and Greg Laurie Spirit-filled? Is The Crystal Cathedral a Spirit-filled Church?

Waiting for your analysis.

Re: Las Vegas churches?
 

Yes to all these.
