Re: Isle Running and Dancing a Virtue to be Taught
You mean going to, like, the Virgin Islands and running track or something? Or the hula?

Re: Isle Running and Dancing a Virtue to be Taught
Why do I hear entire sermons (live and on-line) devoted to how we respond (in physical demonstration) to the presence of the LORD? What is up wid dat?
Seems truely and inherently counter-productive to focus so much on the by-product and response, rather than preaching the cross and letting happen what will.

I've never run an aisle in all my years attending a UPC church. BUT there were times when the Holy Ghost visited us and my feet took a dance movement all on their own. My feet did not have to be taught to do that.

Pentecostals are performance oriented. They have to feel/believe something is happening and so they demonstrate
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

That, my friend, is the truth. It brings up another subject that I have been trying to get the courage to present here. I may have to think more on it.
