Is there any church that has everything right?
Is there any church that you agree with 100%?
There are differences in beliefs, but nothing that I would consider to be Heaven or Hell issues.
For those who would attempt to write off the moving of the Holy Spirit on people as they praise and worship the Lord as merely emotionalism, you don't know what you're talking about.
There is great value in the worship of Our Lord. Worship is more than emotion, but it is not void of emotion and more true worship is done outside of the church than inside. Still, that doesn't mean there is no or little value in the fiery worship settings of a church whose members pray consistently and live a holy life.
Those fiery services are not fiery because everyone is faking or because the music is causing people to do things. Those services are fiery because many of those people are living a holy life and are praying.
Ever been in a prayer room or prayer service where you walk in and can feel the Holy Ghost?

I understand where you're coming from JD. Makes sense to me.
