Wrong, I didn't start this thread, so my conclusion of it being ridiculous is well founded. My choice of using a man who preaches against television as an example was done because the Pentecostal/Charismatic view of "Legalism" is just that.

And you are very correct in emphasizing the need to worship and pray with people in order to understand them. At least IMO. But how far "out there" have you practiced this? Ever pray and worship with trinitarians? Charismatics? What about trying out the liturgical groups, Lutherans, Anglican and Catholics?

Yes, and?

I have also had the same experiences, but what has kept you and I continuing to move forward? Being an evangelist and traveling to different areas and having pastors send you and your family to different places where you have never been. Or even met the pastor or his congregation and seeing all kinds of things that I have never seen before, but still keeping in mind not wanting to miss God or judge before the time. I want to do my job right and therefore I need to wait until all the information is in and react only as the Holy Ghost leads.
That's were wisdom must be employed and if I can pass that knowledge on to other Brothers and Sisters in the church family and they receive it, then we can all carefully build a local congregation.
