These people invested ZERO ruses these folks, ZERO Bible studies, counseling, getting to know these folks---no time invested whatsoever, BUT they have the freedom to act a fool at church and not consider the damage they're doing. And then later the guy's wife gets her feeling hurt over some little silly thing that happened in the children's ministry and they leave with the whole family over it (they've since quit the other church the started attending because of offense) and so here we are losing a woman who was wide open and hungry---she attends another church down the road with her husband and kids now---we keep the dude who thinks he can act any old way at church, and then they up leave any way.

I've had enough of the attitude that says, "Well David danced before the Lord, so anything goes." You miss the point of that story and you have to ignore Paul's very black and white teaching on order in public worship. Is church for church people or is it to declare the Gospel and lead people to salvation?

My wife had a lady she was witnessing to and finally she agreed to come to church with her. Well the Holy Ghost moved and people started rolling on the ground. This lady never stepped one foot back into that church again.

I heard Bro. Grisham (sp) talk about bringing his nephew to church. He was worried about this old man that would do something, really loud, like "oooooooohhhhh!"

After the service he asked his nephew, rather hesitantly, because the old man did his part, how he liked the service.

The nephew's response: "I liked it!!!"

Grisham: "Really? What part did you like?"

Nephew: "I liked the part the old man did!"

I have only seen it one time in my life but it is not as common as it once was. In the minds of some all Pentecostals are "Holy Rollers and Snake Handlers".

I've never understood the "slain in the spirit" thing either. It probably doesn't technically fall into the category of worship, although some may disagree with that.

I never understand why they don't have breath mints at the altar for those people who think they must get all in your face while they are praying and laying on hands.

My former Pastor drilled that into us Breath Mints if you pray with people at the altar! Nothing can quench the Spirit faster then bad breath!
