Seeking OneGod Spirit Filled Church in Joplin Area

[HeartofWorship]

Any suggestions?

Joplin, Missuori UPC church is pastored by my cousin, Tony Stoddart. I have to get the actual church name.

Yea, all the ones around here (including that one) seem to be pretty strict on standards. I'm really looking for a truth preaching church without all the "standard" mess.

You mean there are churches that are not "Spirit-filled"? I've never seen one of those.

Boy I have! Ha! You haven't been to some of the ones I've been to!

Interesting. I've always been of the understanding that God's Spirit fills any place where Jesus Christ is proclaimed as Lord.

Ooookay, let me explain this slowly with love. Some places allow more freedom in worship - by saying "spirit filled" I'm referring to a church that believes in speaking in tongues and receiving the Holyghost.

They do believe in standards, although I know Tony Stoddart can get revelatory with the Word. A person would get genuinely fed there.

This is a futile argument. NOW will win this argument...everytime.

I don't know if I win it every time but I know I can't resist!! I told my wife, "Everyone on the Forum probably rolls their eyes every time a newcomer asks about finding a Spirit-filled church, 'cause they know it won't be long 'til I show up and say.....'But every church is Spirit-filled'".

Whenever the words, "Spirit-filled church" appear on the internet, there's a magnetic force that hits my fingers. I can't help it!!!
