You my friend have the gist of old time pentecost. It is a not so subtle form of idolatry. Old time pentecost is a substitue becuase the things you mentioned are lacking. Some people have to have a sense of identity. Too bad they choose the superfulous and not the spritiual. Old time pentecost is status quo 50-60 years ago. The church will make great strides when the demons of o-t-p are cast from our churches.
Why is it odd to you that the status of 50-60 years as a time frame seems to fit us. I am only 57 that is as far as I can reference. Maybe a modern Methuselah will post and you can ask him about 500 years ago. Good Grief!

I think the point he was trying to make is that what you consider "old time" would hardly qualify as such, seeing as how we are only talking about just over a generation. Jesus name baptism counts as old paths. Repentance counts as old paths. Holy Ghost infilling with tongue talking counts as old paths. Dressing the way you do doesn't count as old paths. At best, it's a generational mindset and subject to change.
I have not seen any of this here Prax. Course we have preacher's that preach Jesus. Wear Timex watches if they have one. And drive pick-up trucks.
Im sure they don't all have rolexes, however I have seen preachers with expensive suits, watches and cars just like someone on Wall Street. The point was you could not tell the difference by clothing only
