Doesn't he (Mike Hayes) look like one of the guys from Las Vegas that used to have that tiger show?!?!?!?!?

Having not agreed with his position to begin with, knowing what his political views are makes it all the more ironic for me.

Wait a minute! What are they doing that's sinful? Who are you to judge these people's hearts?

To Light (and others) - I saw people on their faces before God, slain in His presence, and worshipping with abandon. I don't think they are refusing anything that they have seen in Scripture. They're just sold out to what God is doing in this ugly world! I didn't see anything that I thought was crazy Charismatic flaky stuff, and trust me, I've seen plenty before. We sang about the blood, the Cross, and had fantastic worship time.

I don't have a clue how he baptizes, but I know he's closely connected with a lot of Jesus' name people. He is also connected with Larry Stockstill's church in Baton Rouge, which I love!!

Some sincerely believe that their experience as a baby when some water was applied to their head by a minister or priest fulfills one of those commands.
Some sincerely believe that when they asked Jesus to come in and forgive them and help them live for Him, that He actually did come in as the Holy Spirit.
Some sincerely believe that "in Jesus' name" means by His authority and that He authorized His disciples to use a "formula" that includes the words "Father," "Son" and "Holy Spirit."
Some sincerely believe that the condition of the person's heart is more important than the amount of water used or the exact words used in the ritual.

Some times we (and I include myself here because I've done it too) are too quick to judge a person's sincerity because they have a different understanding than we do.

So true. I'm totally Acts 2:38 all the way. Such a one God believer the word trinity upsets me. That being said, I'm also tolerant of other levels of experience.

[Scott Hutchinson]

I appreciate what other people have but no Trinity doctrine for me,I can't handle it.
I'll home church before I go that route.

I attended a couple ladies conferences that were associated with the Open Bible organization.
Truth? maybe not, but that does not limit the power and annointing that I saw there. The speakers were in touch with God and used by God to minister.

I've also attended a couple of Women's Aglow conferences. Once again, annointing, worship, and the blessings of God.

And in more recent times went to several womens conferences sponsored by an independent "pentecostal" group in town. One years speaker stands out in my mind. She was super charged with the spirit. Annointed teaching/preaching. She's a pastors wife from Pittsburgh.

Did any of them believe Acts 2:38? No.
There was annointing, great teaching, worship and the blessings of the Lord.




I'm not the judge.
I was blessed, encouraged, uplifted, ministered to, convicted........

As much as we UPCers would like to own God or put Him in a box, He reigns supreme and He can annoint and bless however He chooses to.
