Well if that's true then I will have to scrap my idea of charging at the door.
Still I don't see that many unsaved people at a church service, those numbers are a bit off.

Yeah... but there was concerted effort to make just that happen. Thousands of man hrs went into getting people there on Sun night.

So not only do the unsaved almost outnumber the saved but they also all are filled?
Again this just doesn't add up.

Actually the number would be 3,000 v 10,000 yet not exactly. Assuming that at least some among the 10,000 were also among the camp that had never spoke with tongues and did not that night. I find it hard to believe that everyone that had never spoke in tongues joined the party that night.
1,000 ministers + 2700 altar workers so for evey 2 tongue talkers in the crowed there was 1 tongue talker who became a tongue talker that night.
I say that's a stretch even for Texas.

Are you crying for quality control inspectors and certification of results?
When the Holy Ghost moves, we expect negativity and nay sayers. It wouldn't be an authentic Acts without Mockers

Looks like the legalists place limits and restrictions on a sovereign move of God.

Speed limits in the United States vary by state, but the Federal Government tries to gain control over them through tax dollars.

You talkin about the narrow road thingy and the wide road? The wide road leads to destruction and has passing lanes and still is traffic backed up.
Who would have thought so many unsaved people in Houston?

Consider that this is in a city with a very large population and they spent the day out in the city evangelizing not to mention local congregations show up with their friends and families that have not spoken in tongues yet...I don't see why that number has to be far fetched
